no
Specifications: For very long now, many have touted the LG BD 390 as the best Blu-ray player in the market. That is all set to change with the new OPPO BDP-83 Blu-ray player. This model has received many accolades from many leading tech publications, receiving up to 4 ½ stars in many instances.
First of all, the OPPO BDP-83 Blu-ray player does not only play Blu-ray, DVD and CD formats. It also supports various older media formats such as the SACD and DVD-audio format. On the back, you will find almost any form of AV connectors there is, including a 7.1 analog audio output and IR connectors. There is also 2 USB ports (one of the front of the player).
Design: The OPPO BDP-83 Blu-ray player is overall black in color with a brushed-metal finish on the front. It measures at 16.9 x 13.2 x 3 inches and weighs 11.2 pounds. It is a little larger and heavier than most Blu-ray players out there, but would nevertheless fit well into your home theater set due to its subtle design. It feels sturdy and looks very durable.
Features & Performance: The highlight of the OPPO BDP-83 Blu-ray player would have to be in its performance and video playback quality. Of all the models that we have tested, this model has the fasted loading time. When the player is on, it takes just about 14 seconds to load a Blu-ray movie.
Another notable feature is that is also plays DVD movies really well. Its DVD up scaling is much better than many leading Blu-ray players in the market. Most importantly, the Blu-ray movie playback was stunning. Although it is not light years ahead of its competitors, its slight edge in Blu-ray movie quality will satisfy even the most demanding of video fans. At the time of writing, it costs around $499 each. It may be a little more expensive than usual, but due to its superb video quality and performance, I say it will be worth the investment!
