3 Stars So far perfoming well
I bought this one along with some other HDMI cables. Working fine so far. Not sure whether it is delivering all the data speed to the other end or not. Overall with the price the item is good pick.

5 Stars dependable product
The OPPO DV-980H is an excellent, dependable and foolproof product. I have used it for the past two years, and it has always been extremely reliable. It is often difficult to realize when a product is excellent, because it doesn’t cause problems, and therefore doesn’t force itself onto your consciousness… this is one of those understated and excellent products. I highly recommend it. Well done, OPPO!

5 Stars Best Upconverted Player
Ordered this player from Amazon and received it in 1 week. For anyone who doesn’t want to get a Blu-Ray yet, the Oppo IS the best Upconverted Dvd-player that you can get for around $160. Only a very few more expensive players that can match this player. The picture is sharp, colors are accurately rendered and the sound is just amazing. I don’t want to say anything else about this player because whatever i want to say is already been said millions of time on the net.

Bottom line is if you want an Upconverted Dvd player then this is IT.

5 Stars Outstanding upconverting DVD player
I have had this player for about six months now. It does everything very well.It automatically resizes the video output of commercial DVDs to fit the HDTV 16:9 format. It also plays the many self-recorded DVDs (DVD-R) very well. No freeze-ups, tracking is wonderful. It does seem to have a mind of its own when it starts up with a fresh DVD. Sometimes starts a few minutes into the DVD, sometimes ignores the remotes commands until I can manage to send it to the title screen. Then everything is fine. Probably needs an upgrade on the software. But overall, a top performer.

1 Star Great Until the DVD Tray Broke
I purchased this player in January of 2008 and was very happy with its performance up until yesterday when the DVD tray stopped working (the tray would not open). This was a useful life of 1 year and roughly 4 months. Only a 1-year warranty. Great:(

5 Stars Exceeds expectations
Given the heaps of well written reviews about the Oppo, I’ll keep my review short and casual. This sweet piece of tech rocks! My 1080p TV is very happy.
