  • Decent upscaling, Variety of connection methods, Slim profile
  • Overloaded remote control, Box has strange rattling sound?
  • Toshibas XD-E500 provides a simple way to make humble DVDs look a bit better, but dont be fooled into thinking that itll magically turn them into Blu-Ray discs. ...

  • Abstract:  If there is one product that will help push down the cost of Blu-ray players, it’s the new Toshiba upscaler that coverts traditional DVDs to 1080p HD. And at only $199 this little beast is set to be a real irritant up against Blu-ray devices that in s...

  • Zu unseren wichtigsten Erkenntnissen zählt, dass die “Billigheimer” mit teuren Abspielgeräten nicht wirklich mithalten können. Zwar können die Player mit schnellen Startzeiten und bei der Wiedergabe von DivX-, MP3- und JPEG-Wiedergabe punkten, aber bei de...

  • Toshiba bietet mit seiner XDE-Technik eine hervorragende DVD-Bildqualität zum niedrigen Preis. Da der Player recht effektiv nur Konturen und Details in der Schärfe anhebt, gelingt es, ein wesentlich plastischeres Bild aus DVDs zu gewinnen ohne dass das...

  • Abstract:  Toshiba skrotade hd dvd, men fortsätter att utveckla dvd-spelaren. Testarna anser att Toshiba XD-E500 ger nytt liv till dvd-samlingen men att resultatet inte är lika bra som med blu-ray.
