The BDP-105 also does 2D-to-3D conversion (which I doubt anyone will use more than once) and two HDMI outputs that can send video to two displays at the same time. The same Qdeo scaling happens to be available on a number of AV receivers, including the Onkyo I use, so you might want to experiment to see which device does a better job. For that reason a better 4K scaler isn’t a bad thing to have around. All of today’s current 4K displays (which we should start to call Ultra HD) include good video processors, so at this time it’s best to leave that task to the TV or projector (a very short list), but it won’t be too long until lower-quality 4K displays start hitting the market. With the Marvell video processor, the unit can upscale video to 4K. The dual-core system-on-a-chip allows the BDP-105 to load quickly and navigate online services without pause. Oppo players are known for their hardcore videophile guts, and this model comes loaded with a custom dual-core processor and Marvell’s Qdeo video processor. The remote includes direct buttons for Netflix and Vudu, and there are control apps for iOS or Android. That’s less than you get on players from LG, Samsung or Panasonic, but it includes the ones most important to video and music folks. Like other disc players today, the BDP-105 offer a basketful of streaming services including Netflix, VUDU, Film Fresh, Pandora, Picasa and YouTube. Because shiny discs only account for a portion of what most people consume now, most digital formats are also included, such as AVCHD, WAV, MP3, FLAC, and MKV video.
In fact it might go a bit overboard on those extras (which is why there’s the BDP-103).įor starters, it’s a universal disc player compatible with all media, BDs, DVD, DVD-A, SACD and of course CD. It, and its slightly less well-armed sister the BDP-103, manage to cover all the bases in terms of playback formats, connections and extras. The BDP-105 is a Fort Knox of technology for home theater and audio. You might think that by now it’s hard to make a Blu-ray player that stands out in a significant way. In fact, if you look at the Oppo web site now you only see three products, and the BDP-105 3D Blu-ray player is the flagship. A lot of home theater enthusiasts have a bit of a crush on Oppo, a small company that pretty much makes one thing-Blu-ray players.
