Top Picks - DVD Players - Standard and Upscaling DVD Players  from your Home Theater Guide
DVD continues its penetration into retail stores and consumer's homes at an accelerated pace. Even if you don't have a high-end TV or home theater system, you can still enjoy the benefits of the DVD revolution. However, if you do have a higher end system or TV, even today's inexpensive players have a wealth of features. Here are some entry level players to consider.

1) OPPO Digital DV970HD DVD Player with HDMI Output and DVD-Audio/SACD Playback
The OPPO DV970HD is a "Wolf in Sheep's Clothing". This DVD player delivers great video and audio. HDMI connectivity and upscaling enables the DV970HD to deliver an excellent picture on an HDTV. Other features, such as DVD-Audio Discs, SACDs, and Divx playback add great audio and video flexibility. If you are looking for a new DVD player, to use with a flat panel HDTV and surround sound system, you should check out the 970. For less than $200 it performs as well as some more expensive units.

2) HELIOS X5000 HD Network Media DVD Player
The Helios X5000 is more than a typical DVD player. Not only does it deliver great video and audio via DVD upscaling, HDMI connectivity, and Wolfson Digital-to-Analog audio conversion, but features, such as extensive recordable DVD compatibility, DivxHD, WMV9HD, and Wired and Wireless Networking add great flexibility. If you are looking for a device that can interface with your home theater and PC, check out the Helios X5000. The X5000 is a very innovative product.

3) Samsung DVD-HD1080P7 DVD Player with Upscaling
The Samsung DVD-HD1080P7 has everything you would expect from a DVD player (DVD, CD, DVD-R playback). However, this unit also offers 720p 1080i, and 1080p upscaling via the HDMI interface. The HD1080P7 is good choice if you have a large screen HDTV. However, even if you don't have an HDTV, this unit has all the output options of a standard DVD player and is priced about the same as many "budget" units. This is definitely a DVD player to consider.
