    Oppo BDP-83 Blu-ray Player Gets Near-Perfect CNet Rating

    As a fan of "universal" disc players, I understand why CNet loved the slow-to-arrive Oppo BDP-83, which sucks in BD, CD, DVD as well as SACD and DVD-Audio. The downside? $500, but still no Wi-Fi or VOD. [CNet via CrunchGear]

    Oppo Muse G11: The Chinese PMP With A D-Pad And Classic Game Emulators

    There are enough crappy Chinese MP3 players to fill a toxic Shenzhen waste dump many times over, but the Oppo Muse G11, with its traditional d-pad and promise of 8-bit glories emulated: I want.

    Oppo BDP-S83 Blu-ray Player May Be First (Almost) Universal Disc Reader

    Oppo, pimps of the upscaling DVD realm and makers of one of the best (and last) SACD/DVD-Audio capable machines out there, are moving into the Blu-ray business with the BDP-S83 player. There are no announced deets, but an AVS Forum member spotted this unit at CEDIA. And from what we can see in this image and the back shot below, the feature set is laid out clearly, and something's unusual about it. Update: Oppo got back to us with extra info, including confirmation of Anchor Bay upscaling, soon-ish shipping date and a possible price ($500-$700). More »

    Lightning Review: Oppo DV-983H 1080p Up-Converting DVD Player

    The Gadget: Oppo's follow-up to the fantastic DV-981HD up-converting DVD player with 1080p and Anchor Bay's VRS video tech (AutoCue, Precision Video Scaling, Progressive Cadence Detection and Precision Deinterlacing) and 7.1 audio with Dolby Digital Surround EX, DTS Digital Surround, Dolby Digital and Dolby Pro-Logic II.

    Oppo Super Five PMP Can Handle a Ton of Formats

    In the case of this Oppo PMP, the moniker "Super" certainly applies. The Super Five can handle just about any format you can throw at it including: RM, RMVB, FLV, DAT, MPG, MPEG, AVI, 3GP in video and OGG, MP3, WMA and WAV and dual-APE, FLAC Lossless audio. Plus, photos in JPEG, BMP, GIF and PNG pose no problem for this little feature packed device. Speaking of small, all of that functionality is crammed into a credit card sized 2GB flash memory player that features a 3-inch color screen with QVGA resolution. Naturally, something this cool isn't going to be found anywhere outside of China, bu if you can make the trip it will only run you $120. Sounds like a steal, but fear not because Oppo has a reputation for delivering quality video at an affordable price. [Oppo via i4u]

    Oppo HM-31 Turns Three HDMI Signals Into One Without Clipping or Gypping

    There's something about those initials HDMI that send some manufacturers into fits of greed, but not Oppo. The company that makes up-rezzing DVD players, two of which we've favorably reviewed, now announces an HDMI switch that turns three 1080p sources into one, electronically switching them with a remote control and sending those crispy clean signals to the HDTV display of your choice in glorious HDMI 1.3. The best news is that this Oppo HM-31 costs less than many of those strangely overpriced HDMI cables themselves, $99. Doesn't look half bad, either. [Oppo]

    Oppo DV-980h Upscaling DVD Player Has 7.1 Audio, 1080p

    Oppo's following up their DV-981HD upscaling DivX-compatible DVD players with the DV-980H, a slightly cheaper model. The 980 doesn't have the Faroudja upscaling technology, but does have 1080p, HDMI 1.2, 7.1 channel audio, and DivX support. Looks like a cheaper alternative at $169 if you're looking to save a few bucks. [Oppo via Technabob]

    Upconverting DVD/DivX Player Battle Royale: Which is Right For You?

    We've looked at three Upconverting DVD/DivX players, and although it would be a great idea to put them up against each other, the fact that they're at three different price points kind of negates the premise. More »

    Oppo V5 Widescreen Portable Video Player

    People waiting for the widescreen touch iPod may have something new from Oppo to tide them over. Their V5 is only 11mm (0.43 inches) thick and actually comes in a 16:9 ratio (unlike the iPhone). That's true widescreen on that 3-inch screen, if you're counting. More »

    Oppo DV-981HD Upconverting DVD Player Reviewed (Verdict: 1080p Alchemy)

    I just reviewed the Oppo DV-981HD Universal DVD Player, and like its brandmate the Oppo DV-970, the player does a great job of up-rezzing regular old garden-variety DVDs to high definition. This one takes it a step further, though, up-rezzing that unwashed standard-def signal all the way to the holy-grail 1080p resolution. More »

    Oppo Unleashes Best DVD Upscaling Player Yet: DV-981HD Does 1080p

    Even though you've probably never heard of the company, Oppo uses the the best upscaling tech in the biz—by Faroudja. Now Oppo jumps onto the 1080p bandwagon armed with its latest BFG: the $229 DV-981HD player that upscales garden-variety DVDs from the usual 480p up to 1080p resolution. It has an HDMI output, but gone is the component video output of its predecessor. That coveted 1080p video doesn't travel well over component outputs anyway, especially if you're forced to deal with HDCP (copy-protected) content. More »

    Oppo LCD TV/DVD Player With DivX Support

    Back to school is upon us, and this Oppo LCD TV/DVD player is perfect for cramped dorm rooms all over America. The $600 player has a 20-inch LCD, slot-loading DVD player, USB port and card reader. Best of all it looks like an iMac, which, I guess, is actually "worst of all" if you're not an iMac fan. More »
