I use my old fat ps3 as a blu-ray player, I always see lots of posts about OPPO players that costs up to and beyond $1000.
What about these players justifies the extra cost, better audio, video, features? I just want to understand what benefits there are in owning one versus just continuing to use my PS3. Last edited by aboothlsu; 03-09-2011 at 07:39 PM. |

A few things, but the mojer thing is that it contains a scaler chip called the ABT2010 chip by Anchor Bay, which I hear does wonders with DVDs, as well as more sophisticated DACs in the multichannel analog outputs. The build on the Oppos feel like they are built to last.
One reason I would get an Oppo is that they feature subtitle placement, which is very useful if you own a 2.35:1 wide screen or TV; It is very useful if you watch foreign films (Sony has been spotty with this before). Few Players offer this despite it being mostly software based. |

So it can upscale DVD's better than the PS3, I thought the receiver does this as well does the OPPO just do a better job than most receivers can?
Is DVD upscaling and subtitle placement the only benefits, if I dont use subtitles and my receiver can upscale DVD's will an OPPO not benefit me? |

In many ways, Oppo blu ray players do scaling excellently, but the PS3 ain't a slouch either. It is made for home theater enthusiests who demand more from their movie collection. If you use a TV and mostly digital audio, I don't see much of a reason to go Oppo other than brand name. About Subtitle placement, Here is the article to show why it's an issue. http://www.highdefdigest.com/news/show/2993 |
