Hi
Am looking at a new DVD player soon. Wondering if people had suggestions for a good player. Price point around 1000 GBP ( 1500 euro )
Thanks
Search for a Panasonic DVD/HDD recorder; top quality, and often sold second hand in as-good-as-new-condition. Price around 300 euro's new, 80-100 euro's used.
For me the PS3 is a very potent option, although I guess it may not be considered high-end.
My B&O products: Beosound 9000, Beosound 2300, Beosound Century, Beolab 8000, Beolab 6000, Beolab 4000 x2, Beolab 3500, Beolab 2000, Beolab 10, Beolink Active x2, Beotime, Beo5 x2, Beo4, A9 keyring x2, LC2 dimmer x6 and growing....
Oppo Players are said to be good.
But: why spend that much Money on a DVD Player?Why not go for a higher Resolution - Bluray?I know it all depends on your set-up...

Price point 1500€ - a new DVD player?
I do not know of any DVD player that cost that much!
If money isn't the problem, buy the OPPO103.
Greetings Millemissen
There is a tv - and there is a BV
Just bought the OPPO103.
Great player! Huge improvement over my old Panansonic Bluray Player.

Imac,
Have you got the B&O version of the Oppo (without the Oppo logo on the screen) ?
Do you control it with your Beo4 ?
I have the regular version, not the B&O version. I decided against the B&O version as I wanted to make sure that I will receive all the software updates on time. My dealer wasn't sure if the B&O version is updated on the same basis.
I control everything with my Beo4. Works really well. Much better than my old Panansonic. B&O seems to have put some extra effort into the programming of the control, since they recommend this player.
Excuse my ignorance, but does B&O sell a re-badged oppo as their own device?
Sorry - should have clarified - by "DVD player" I meant a blu ray player.
Thanks for the "clarification"
The 'B&O OPPO" is a regular OPPO Player - with removed screenlogo and removed screensaver.
No rebadge about that!
But quite convenient for dealers demoing in the shops - and a must for any hardcore 'B&O'ist' at home too
It can only be ordered through a B&O dealer.
I've been extremely happy with my Oppo BDP-103. Outstanding image quality, fast response, and built like a tank.

I'm afraid I'm recovering from the BeoVirus.
