Oppo UDP- 2. 03 Ultra HD Blu- ray player - DVD/Blu- ray. O. P. CEDIA was the place for Oppo to announce their Ultra High Definition bluray player the UDP- 2. Being release in the UK before Christmas this year for approx 6. That means a price here of about $1,5. New chip from Mediatek means that the Oppo has been designed from the ground up for UHD. Retail, which means around $7.

No Chance, I'd be surprised if you could get a 1. Looks like we won't see them until next year now. That what I've heard through the grapevine. Crossing my finger for this year though.

I called my av store and they had 2. Dec. Could secure one with a deposit and they wanted $9. My AV store gave me the same date. I preordered on Sunday. Will it play SACDs or any other fancy formats? Definitely no chance on a "street" price. I reckon 9. 49 isn't too bad considering the price of the 1.

My $9. 49 price included next day courier delivery so not bad at all for a day 1 release. Khan writes.. Will it play SACDs or any other fancy formats.

You can throw the kitchen sink at this OPPO and it will play it.. You guys think you've got it rough with an "Aussie tax".

The "kiwi gouge" is even worse. Although at $1. 04. NZD) on this side of the ditch, that's actually not too bad a mark- up compared with Aus. Will be importing, just as I have with my previous players – my oldest being from 2.

Even with the bad exchange rates, there's still money to be saved here. How does this player compare to the Panasonic? How does this player compare to the Panasonic? No idea but I will definitely check out the Oppo at my local AV store when it comes in. Having said that, the Panasonic to me, has delivered the 4.

K goods in all aspects. I am more than happy with the PQ and AQ as well as its ability to upscale 1. It has a full remote and its construction is solid enough. I have yet to find any issues with it at all. I predominantly use it for 4. K and 1. 08. 0p BR discs. I pre- ordered one a few weeks ago, and just got a shipping notification and tracking number.

Hopefully it will arrive tomorrow! Adam. VF4. 5 writes.. Hopefully it will arrive tomorrow. Congrats.. you will have no worries with an Oppo. Mine arrived today, just got it home and am part way through setting up as I type this : DI think I saw on Facebook, that Len Wallis have them and are demoing them tonight. There are a few 2.

Melbourne too.. if you're close to the city, Carlton Audio Visual have one hooked up. And it already wants to download a firmware update : DThe update was SUUUUPER quick though (though 1. Mb/s will do that so I can't be sure it will be quick for everyone), And once it was downloaded was only about 3. Frogger. Squared writes..

And it already wants to download a firmware update : DWhat improvement or feature did the firmware update offer? Anyone else having some playback stuttering issues, better get fixed via an update SUPER quick.. PAPO writes.. Anyone else having some playback stuttering issues. Did you find a solution to this issue. Does this happen when playing discs? Very unusual for an Oppo player.

Deadpool in 4. K, but also on other stuff.. Got this from OPPOof $us. Did you use a shipping forwarder? Anyone know if this will play multi region Blu Ray movies ? Or are we looking at a upgrade chip like their previous models. Or are we looking at a upgrade chip like their previous models.

This. Frogger. Squared writes.. What was the final total when shipping was included? Anyone have any first hand observations on UHD to a 4. K TV without HDR? I have a Panasonic 4.

K screen but without HDR. Wanting to make the jump to UHD but without HDR unsure if worth jumping into the Oppo now or waiting. Many people, of which I am one, didn't buy our (first) Oppo player(s) as an "Australian Oppo player."As an owner of a 9. I don't think I could purchase any other player. Have the bugs been ironed out or is there still some work to do? Best price I've seen thus far is $8. I get any better?

Well that's what happens went back to Apollo to purchase and it's back to $9. Cheers. DKcoola. 32 writes.. As an owner of a 9.

I don't think I could purchase any other player. Have the bugs been ironed out or is there still some work to do? Which bugs are you talking about? The '9. 3 is the last Oppo without Cinavia. Frogger. Squared writes.. Which bugs are you talking about?

The '9. 3 is the last Oppo without Cinavia. Okay that didn't appear to go well, I was referring to the 2.

Possibly it's a setting issue, I don't know as I don't have one. I was trying to say now I have an Oppo I would like another, there is nothing wrong with my Oppo 9. Cheers. DKcoola. 32 writes.. Best price I've seen thus far is $8. Where is this? And is it overseas or local?

Have the bugs been ironed ou. Not quite yet, I'm still having freezing issues, but I think it's a software issue because I even had a freeze in navigating menus (mainly for a USB drive). If it's not software, they've screwed up SUPER hard, and have failed to put in enough processing power, which means software won't fix it, but at that point I'd say they'd be bordering on needing to do a recall.. But that's a special kind of unlikely, the only people who would do that is Foxtel's hardware team : P it HAS to be a software issue.

Are all the bugs fixed yet? Come on people, the player hasn't even been out for two weeks! I had freezing on the first few discs I watched, but then switched to Source Direct and everything else on Auto (on my 9. I always leave everything set to a specific value), and I haven't seen any issues since then, and I'm really enjoying the speed and picture.

The player is telling me it's outputting 4k, 4: 2: 2 at 1. A lot of people have been suggesting that cables are the issue, but people contacting Oppo have been getting a beta firmware that fixes the fault (created in the last days before Christmas, so Oppo are definitely on the case), which means it's clearly a software bug. Watch Anacondas: The Hunt For The Blood Orchid Online there. I expect the fix will be released as an official firmware version in a few weeks.

It's amazing these days! We pay top dollar for our electronics, yet we still become beta testers for the manufacturers!

Dot. Com. Dot. AU writes.. It's amazing these days! We pay top dollar for our electronics, yet we still become beta testers for the manufacturers! To be fair, UHD- Blu- ray IS a very complicated thing: 8- bits/1. HDR1. 0 (with 1,0.

Dolby Vision, H2. DCI- P3, Rec. 20. The change from Blu- ray to UHD Blu- ray is far bigger than many folks realise. Absolutely the owners of the 2. Watch Closer Online Flashx. It's a brand new product from a brand new class of technology using many standards that a very very new. Absolutely their will be bugs. I expect in about 6 months to a year all the quirks should be gone (heck most of the big ones should be gone within a short while).

I am hanging on to my BDP- 9. Can this player able to play different region blu- ray and dvd discs? I have to agree, the player is only half baked at this stage and was probably rushed out for the xmas seasonand yes, we are the beta testers, there are some basic problems that should never had made it to retail until resolved, especially at this price point.

Secondary HDMI port (hdcp 2. Oppo can't afford to fix all bugs as then they would have nothing left to use as a trojan to remove functionality the studios take a dislike to in retrospect. They can't be too happy that people can watch UHD on 1. TVs as it reduces the uptake of 4k TVs. Arguably the 2. 03 is a stopgap until Oppo brings out a player with streaming chops to match their previous generation (or better..).

But they need more sales to entice the big players to work with them – once that happens, it may be worth the investment. But unless you're desperate or your existing Oppo fails, the argument to upgrade isn't overwhelming. Arguably the 2. 03 is a stopgap until Oppo brings out a player with streaming chops to match their previous generation (or better..). Not all of us have interest in the streaming features, if I wanted to stream content, I wouldn't need the OPPO in the first place.
