Just recently i received my Samsung HL-R5688W and installed the cablecard. Picture is fantastic on HD (ESPN & PBS especially) but my dvd player is ****.
Right now im not even bothering hooking it up and just using my ps2 for the dvd player.
The quality is still "good" but doesnt compare to the HD channels.
Ive looked around this forum and see that most people lean on the OPPO but ive also heard the Samsung was pretty good.
The Samsung 950 is $180 shipped
the 850 is $130 shipped
and the OPPO @ $200 shipped.
First off, is it worth spending the extra 20 for the OPPO instead of the Sammy? Does the newest OPPO still have region free (hack).
And what other players would be recommended for
