Toshiba XD-E500 Upscaling DVD Player - Product Review and Rating
Toshiba XD-E500 Review - With the demise of HD-DVD, Toshiba is now focused on improving the upscaling capabilities for DVD.

The user also has some control over sharpness, color, and contrast, which compensate for variations in DVD source quality. The Toshiba XD-E500 does provide good viewing of DVDs, but is not the breakthrough that its marketing materials suggest.
