I didn't know that BestBuy carried OPPO. But if it is the HDMI
version ONLY then you probably want to avoid it. OPPO gets raves as
the best upscaler and I concur, but I understand that that only
applies to the DVI version presently - unless something has changed in
the past few months. It would be worth your while to find an online
vendor of their DVI version - sorry, I never remember model numbers
and I guess I could look mine up, but then I have to get up and go
indoors!
