Just got the OPPO 981 and instantly my standard DVD's took on new life.I can't tell much difference between HD SAT at 1080i and an OPPOlized DVD upscaled to 1080P.Easy HDMI set-up with my Onkyo 705 as the switcher going into my Sharp Aquos 52" 92U LCD. No need for component outs.Also has many sound and picture configuations. The audio is clean and lifelike.Best DVD Upscaler on the market for the price!
