Best Standard Def DVD Player under $8,000 used?

OPPO 983H?

Hmmm, buy any Blu-Ray format player for $300 - $500 new and blow all those those standard def players away.

One of the best measured standard def performance player is the Oppo DV-983: "...and it is the first player to ever score a perfect 100 in the Secrets DVD Benchmark."

Unfortunately, this player only sells for $400 new. On the bright side, it does come in black and there are HDMI cables you can buy for an additional $7K.

At the risk of sounding ignorant, 8 grand for a used dvd player???

Tom, I've rethought my previous answer. Please PM me and I'll give you a good deal on my used std. def DVD player and cable.

Look forward to hearing from you soon,

Dan

Tom,

Pitch the idea of dvd and think on the lines of blu-ray,no machine that does dvd,and I mean, NO machine, can touch blu-ray ,PERIOD...

As for the audio portion, the new hd codecs are what will make the home theater experience with blu-ray the ultimate fun factor. They go together like salt and pepper... ;)
