Ultimate AV reviews Toshiba XD-E500 Upconverting DVD Player — not impressed
What has Toshiba been up to since the death of HD DVD? Well supposedly developing a kick-ass standard definition upconversion technology called XDE (eXtended Detail Enhancement).
Ultimate AV put the first DVD player to utilize this new tech through its paces and wasn’t too impressed, especially when you consider it costs $150, which is most of the way to a basic Blu-ray player (and possibly exactly the same cost as a BR player on Black Friday).
