As a basis for the BDP-105D series, Oppo’s BDP-105 makes its mark with an assortment of awards, prizes and convincing consumer-test reports. In addition with the ‘Darbee Visual Presence’ and other specialties (see below) the 105D is convincing in the aural and visual departments. It really can make itself the ideal focal point of a digital home theatre or listening room. By incorporating stereoscopic image, a patented depth field of information based on 2D and 3D models of human vision 2D and 3D model, both the perceived image presence is increased and strengthened the impression of depth of field. This in turn leads to a dynamic, life-like viewing experience. The intensity, engages the Darbee, can be individually regulated and adjusted to personal taste.
