    Upconversion confusion

    Question: I watch SD DVDs on a 42" 1080p display. what type of player offer better upconversion (will show best), an SD upcoverting player via HDMI (Oppo 981) or an HD player (Toshiba HD-XA2)? At half the price, the oppo seems the obvious choice, but what am I missing here? thanks for the input.

    well the XA2 does play HD DVDs so its miles better then the oppo. As fare as SD DVD upconversion the XA2 has been compared to the best. I would choose the XA2 over any SD DVD player on the planet...any day.

      After a generous break in I can say it is quite a pleasant sounding little player and betters our OPPO disc player from what I can tell. It has a more relaxed presentation but very detailed as well. I can't...

      Oppo Failures?
      by madmac
      Hey all,

      After having a series of Failures with my Oppo DVD player I was wondering if anyone here on the forum have experienced failures with their units. I'm a little paranoid now about their reliability on the whole. Love the picture quality from their players but do NOT like their...
