The only thing I don't like about my Oppo is the remote ... kind of all crammed together and hard to see.
@JVC....what is it with me and remotes? Denon 3805...great AVR, crappy remote / Oppo uoconversion....great machine, crappy remote LOL!
BTW: solved my analog hole problem with a little creative thinking through the HD box and a Radio Shack "Distribution Amplifier" that will amplify one vid sig with four analog holes. Haven't tried it yet though; all still in my head. Will probably blow the roof off the house the moment I switch it on LOL!

I don't have one. I was going by what I had read about them.

Let me know how it is after you get it. I'm thinking about getting it also.
Would have to sell my 971H first though.

dabig25, i doubt if there will be much difference other than i will not need a digital optical cable for the audio being it has a HDMI output and it will be black which will match my new Yamaha AV receiver. i don't think the 1080i (971) vs the 1080p (981) will matter since our Sony's SXRD are already 1080p sets.
oh BTW i called Best Buy and since this set has come down 700.00 dollar since i bought it in mid Sept. there going to give me a store credit. i am so happy !!! lol

Well maybe I stick w/ my 971H then ?
Good to hear about the BB store credit. Mine is now about $2400 will go in w/ my receipt and see what happens. I might be at or just past the 30 day mark ?

YES it has the DCDi by Faroudja making it worth the extra 50 dollars .They now have a OPPO DV-981HD its black with a HDMI output and 1080p res.

Sorry aabbccdd again,
So I do have a 971H, been very happy w/ it. It only has DVI output. It did come w/ the cable that has DVI on one end & HDMI on the other.
I also do have an optical cable going from my 971H to my Onkyo reciever.
Would it be an advantage to go w/ the new 981HD instead ? Will the pic. quality be better, since it says it upconverts to 1080p ?

i actually emailed oppo with a few questions and they told me that since I have a DLP, tehy would recommend the 970Hd as the others promote macroblocking. Said this would give me the best picture without any potential problems

Here's the email they sent me...very fast responses and great, imformative answers to all my emails by the way:
DLP technology is particularly susceptible to macroblocking, due to the
low bit-depth and contrast and brightness ratios. DLP displays
primarily use 8-bit processing and an 8-bit PWM scheme on the DMD
mirrors, and out of box, most DLPs do not fully utilize their entire
range of digital bits (steps between black and white). For this reason,
without proper calibration using professional grade calibration discs
such as AVIA or DVE, DLP displays will enhance macroblocking and
false-contouring errors.
Because DLP displays are macroblock enhancing, we would not recommend
the use of the OPDV971H or DV-981HD on DLP displays, as the OPDV971H
and DV-981HD will macroblock enhance as well. We would recommend the
DV-970HD for DLP displays as it will produce a very good picture and
will not produce macroblocking errors.
The advantages to the OPDV971H and the DV-981HD have over the DV-970HD
is the Faroudja de-interlacing and scaling chipset solution. This
chipset can produce a better picture by reducing visual errors such as
interlacing and aliasing (jagged edges). However, they will increase
macroblocking instances on DLP displays.

I have been very happy w/ my 971H so far. Guess I'll see about it next year.
