    Oppo 93 Magazine review

    I've read that the QDEO isn't as good as the ABT2010, but off course the new Oppo comes with a ton more features. And by "not as good", I'm in no way suggesting it's not good!

    Question for WHF team

    Presumably Max, you have a £30 Tesco blu ray player that you connect to an old Black and White CRT with 2 pieces of fishing wire? Or am I taking it too far..?

    Question for WHF team

    So.......to answer the OP's original question..... I have 2 blu ray players. A Denon 2500BT and an Oppo BDP-83. I actually bought the Denon for more money than the Oppo (that'll teach me for buying things when they've just come out! ). I bought the Oppo mainly to watch Region A Blu Rays as it...

    A question for Ronald.

    Hi, I own a 2500BT. Initially I got given a multi region disc that "sits on top of" your current firmware by Sevenoaks that makes it multi region for DVD. This has worked perfectly and I obviously have never needed to change it back as it's good for all regions. Slightly less advisably, I got a...

    Oppo 93EU

    tHAT'S TRUE..however....THE abt2010 from the BDP83 has been replaced by what is widely regarded as an inferior chip but obviously has the added benefit of 3D and streaming etc that the BDP83 doesn't have. It all depends on what matters to you....

    Harmony remotes

    Actually, on eBay it's possible to pick up the odd bargain on a 900, making it comparable cost to the One. It's actually amazing how much you use those dedicated colour buttons with Sky ( planner etc) on a daily basis and also with my blu ray player (due to hardware mods). Although life would...

    Finally!!! The end of the HDMI debate!!

    I cannot tell you about the sound. This lead was just from Sky box to TV. I CAN tell you about the picture as I WAS there! Even a wizened sceptic, like you obviously are, would be running down the street, yelling halelujah and throwing Chord samples through windows! Seriously, as the previous...

    Finally!!! The end of the HDMI debate!!

    Your dazzling arguments are making me feel like Forest Gump/ Rain Man and I normally would be entirely submissive and accept that you're correct......however.....the picture is better! Not just a little bit better! Not a "spoon full of sugar" better....but a "oh My God honey, get the kids out of...

    Finally!!! The end of the HDMI debate!!

    ok, I understand what you're saying. I know the debates. I know it's impossible to convince people that are only interested in the 1s and 0s argument. All I can say is: there was no snow on my screen before and the picture has never cut out or done anything to make me think it wasn't...

    Finally!!! The end of the HDMI debate!!

    I don't mind buying my underwear from Primark, but if I see some Armani in the sale for a fiver, I'm probably going to get it. The Primark pants will be falling round my knees in 3 months whereas the Armani will probably still be admirably protecting my modesty - which is the best analogy I can...
