Just looking to get the best dvd player that will give my normal dvd's the best picture quality and the best possible audio as well, does anybody know what is supposed to have the best rating for that? THanks


Answer
The PS3 is, at best, a mediocre upscaler for DVDs. The best (reasonably priced) Blu-ray player all round are made by OPPO (See link and read reviews). Exceptional DVD upscaling, great audio and video processing (audiophile quality in the Model 95, but the 93 is excellent too), universal player (plays almost anything) ... just not the cheapest. Many believe that Panasonic makes the best "normal" Blu-ray player.

EDIT: Another response recommended not bothering to upconvert DVD. Not very useful if you have a collection of DVDs, and not acknowledging that there are big differences in how well DVDs can be upscaled. While all Blu-ray players do essentially identical jobs on blu-ray disks, there are BIG differences in how well DVDs look on different players. The Oppo and a few other Blu-ray players (some Pioneers come to mind) do a great job on DVDs. No, it's not as good as Blu-ray, but they can look pretty darn good.

What is the Best Blu-ray Player?

Is there a better blu-ray player in terms of picture quality than the Denon DVD-2500BT? Must be under £500.


Answer
I can't say whether it's BETTER picture quality but the Oppo BDP-93 is an impressive machine (or for better audio the £1000 BDP-95) and at £500 is a steal relative to the Denon (which is somewhat dated now). Many consider the OPPO to be the best player going, at least for the price. Another highly recommended model is Cambridge Audio's Azur 751BD but it's more expensive (£800). The link lists Blu-ray players ranked by review "score" and the Denon is far down the list (overall). Judged solely on video quality it may rank much higher, but it's impossible to tell without an A/B comparison ... which I can't find).

Note that "better" depends what you want to compare. Blu-ray performance doesn't vary as much as DVD performance and the Oppo players excel at both BD and DVD video performance. For those with DVD collections this can be an important consideration.
