Oppo 205 for TV viewing?

I would imagine that if the TV or cable box is connected to the Oppo, that the DACs in the Oppo might be superior to those built into the TV or cable box.

Thank thank for the info. I will check those reviews hammy. Over and out :).  Anyone using Oppo 205 for regular TV viewing?

I pass DirecTV receivers through a 105D and 205.  HDMI-1 goes to a projector in one case, TV in the other; HDMI-2 goes to preamps in both cases.  Excellent picture quality and sound.

Thanks dbphd. Better pic quality than otherwise available?

Before I began passing DirecTV through an Oppo I used a video processor.  The Oppo eliminated the need for that.

Video quality change?

Where can you  rent 4K blueray disc? 

Rent4K.com. 

My display is a pioneer kuro so no 4K at the moment.
After reading this thread I briefly connected my FiOS cable box to my 203’s hdmi input last night.
There didn’t SEEM to be any discernible differences a/v-wise between the oppo’s hdmi input or directly into my Classe ssp800 input but I’ll do a thorough a/b test when I have more time.
I’d also appreciate it If anyone can chime in regarding setting preferences. A/V Settings were on default.

btw22, I assume you know the 203 doesn't have the audio capability of the 205, but that of the Classe should be excellent.  I further assume the Classe, like most high-end prepros, passes video but doesn't process it.

I'm using a Sony 65 XBR 850 that may upscale (whatever that means) to 4K, but I'd be hard pressed to tell the difference between 1080p and 4K sources.  My projector is not 4K; I suppose might appreciate 4K on the 100" screen.

db,
Yes, but wanted to see if there was an appreciable upgrade using the 203’s video processing. None that I can see though.
