People suggested that I go with Sony DVP-NS708 if I want only 720p, as its a good upscaling model at a much cheaper price. But I want to know the opinion of you guys here. What do you think?
Even at 720p, the Oppo will scale better than most of these models including the Pioneer 610. The Oppo 981 got 96/100 in the DVD Benchmark and failed in just two aspects:
- Recovery Time
- Sync Subtitle to Frames
If you can afford it, the Oppo is a good buy. I think the general consensus in this forum is Oppo (any model), CA, Pioneer 610, Samsung 1080P, Philips, Sony in that order.
Cheers
