OPPO BDP-80 in Stock at Amazon

OPPO Digital, Inc. has released the BDP-80. The BDP-83’s little brother. Differences between the models include:

  • Very good but not world-class upscaling of DVDs
  • Downgraded 7.1 analog output
  • Glow in the dark versus backlit remote
  • Slightly smaller and lighter chassis
  • Plastic (brushed) versus aluminum faceplate

OPPO has also recently introduced the BDP-83SE which has beefed up 7.1 analog output for $899. So now there are three models to choose from. You can easily base your decision on the following:

  • If you want the best analog output possible purchase the BDP-83SE
  • If you want the  best DVD upscaling purchase the BDP-83 (or BDP-83SE if you want the upgraded analog output)
  • If you want a very good player that out performs most other models on the market purchase the BDP-80

Blu-ray video and audio (via HDMI) will be virtually identical between all three models. In summary if you aren’t into Netflix and other Internet based streaming the BDP-80 at $289 is an out right bargain. With OPPO’s higher than industry’s quality players and commitment to ongoing support you can’t go wrong.

If you want world-class DVD upscaling the OPPO BDP-83 will be a better choice but it will set you back $499.
