OPPO DV-970HD DVD Player Review

B.Greenway — Tue, 05 Sep 2006 08:14:00 +0000

For the last year or so the majority of the conversations I’ve had about budget DVD players, inevitably end up with “have you seen the OPPO?” to which I would reply, “Not yet, no”. Well thankfully those days are over and I don’t have to be a conversation killer when OPPO comes up. OPPO’s first player [...]

Denon DVD-2930CI Review

B.Greenway — Tue, 08 Aug 2006 16:43:31 +0000

Yesterday I had the pleasure of spending some time with the new Denon DVD-2930CI which uses the Silicon Optix Reon HQV chipset. The review took place at my good friend Raj Birbal’s ‘Home Cinema Entertainment’ in Alpharetta Georgia. I have to say it was quite a home theater geek-fest, as we not only tested the [...]

Denon DVD-5910 to use HQV chipset

B.Greenway — Fri, 05 Nov 2004 19:11:10 +0000

While little information can be confirmed about the Silicon Optix’s Relata HQV (Hollywood Quality Video) chipset, the 5910 may usher in a new level of quality in video reproduction. Originating from Denon’s website. The Denon-5910 DVD player is expected to ship first quarter of 2005. Denon’s recently launched DVD-1910, DVD-2910 and DVD-3910 are available now. Denon DVD-5910 [...]

The DVD player that never was?

B.Greenway — Wed, 13 Oct 2004 18:32:42 +0000

It looks as if the Samsung DVD-HD941 might have been shelved before it ever reached production. The 941 used to appear under Samsung’s “Hi-Def Conversion DVD Players“, heading but now is tucked away under “Archived DVD”. This is strange, but if I had to guess as to what’s happened, I’d say with real HD-DVD on the [...]

NeuNeo High Definition DVD Player, Review

B.Greenway — Thu, 26 Aug 2004 21:12:04 +0000

In my last DVD player review, I stated that HD-DVD was months away, by even the most the conservative estimates. While this is still the case, here’s one that actually claims to be “High Definition” and available today. Obviously this player isn’t a “true” HD-DVD device, in the sense that it will play HD-DVDs or [...]

Samsung 941 DVD player

B.Greenway — Sun, 16 May 2004 23:38:44 +0000

The Samsung 941 DVD player with a built in Faroudja DCDi scaler, might be my next DVD player. I had considered upgrading to the Momitsu V880 DVD player, but the 941 at $300.00 (or less) with SACD and DVD-A audio, the Faroudja chip, and black level adjustment, just packs a bigger punch in my opinion. Release [...]
