Need a new bluray player.. Oppo 93 quality for cheap.

[NewYorkBlack]

Can someone recommend a bluray play with the video processing performance of the Oppo 93 for both bluray and dvd's? I don't really care about the analog performance.
Spending $500 for a bluray player this day and age to me is crazy. I'm looking for something in the $180 - $250 range or less.
I just sold my Panasonic dmp-35 (great player) and I'm currently using my ps3 for Bluray (very good) and some dvd's (ps3 suck at dvd's).

Thanks for any help.

(ps3 suck at dvd's).

Thanks for any help.

I wonder why? My PS3 does not suck at dvd at all. I know it is not be as good as the Oppo displaying test material, but I would say pretty close in watching dvd movies. Having tried a few different players, AVRs, and TVs, I found that the quality of the dvd itself has more to do with PQ than the hyped up upconversion/upscaling thing.

For a little over $100 you should be able to get a Sony 470 or 480.

Why did you sell your Panasonic?

I love my Panasonic 110 BD.

I think you should buy directly from Amazon. If you don't like, the shipping is free both ways (30 day return policy).

If I wanted a quality BD/DVD player for under $200, then I would get, and I have gotten for others, the Panasonic DMP-BDT210.

If I wanted the best damn player on the market and had expectations of actual quality, I would get an Oppo and would not think for a second about anything else because I would realize that demanding Oppo quality for less money than Oppo is absolutely ridiculous. Oppo sets a standard for quality AND price which not one other company has been able to match, and others have copied for far more.

The PS3 does just fine with DVDs, so I am not sure what the issue is either. No, it is not quite as good as my Oppo, but they are DVDs. Poor quality DVDs are going to look bad even on the best player out there. Anything at about $100-200 is going to be comparable to the PS3.

If you really want Oppo quality without the new price, get a USED Oppo.

Here is the Panasonic 210:

I highly recommend it.

If you don't like, you can return.

I really don't think there's a huge gap in video performance anymore. As long as you get a decent brand (essentially the major Japanese and Korean manufacturers), there won't be much difference. Sony, Panasonic, Samsung, etc. all use pretty decent chip sets and integrate them competently. Just like with computer chips, you get more for your money with audio and video processing capabilities.

I agree. Look at the BDT210.

Wouldn't the BDT220 be a better model to get?
