The DV-981HD shows that price or brand name alone is no guarantee of quality.


Highs: Very high video quality; supports a ton of formats; lots of features

Lows: No component video ouput; poorly designed menus

Introduction

Editor's Choice

Conventional wisdom says that a consumer electronic product from a “brand name” will be superior to that from a small company, So you wouldn’t expect better video or premium features to be found on Oppo Digital’s DV-981HD DVD player - which retails for $229 USD and is sold over the Internet. But as we’ll see, (with a few noticeable exceptions as to design and menu navigation) when it comes to performance the DV-981HD is right there at the top.
