    Oppo 105, wow

    Well for me, as Robert has said above, I am enlightened by the responses. Yet I'm still very happy with the Oppo. I picked especially well mastered discs to try on the Oppo and had really stunning images appear on my screen. Two of those discs I saw for the first time. From Russia With Love I...

    Oppo 105, wow

    I'm sorry starting this thread has led to some disagreements. I honestly thought the Oppo's had a slight edge in video performance. But it wasn't the real reason I bought the 105, it was a nice bonus.

That's why I wondered if my impressions are factual or imagined. The sharpness of the items on M's desk, the lamp, was a feast for the eyes for sure! The...

    Oppo 105, wow

    I can believe the Oppo's video performance is the same as other players. Previously on my old display, I had the Sony output direct to the display. On my new display, I sent the HDMI to the Pre Pro then from the Pre Pro to the Panasonic. Now I'm going straight from the Oppo to the display. I...
