  • Toshiba’s HD-DVD players may have lost the HD format war, but the company’s outstanding up-scaling tech lives on in this smart DVD player. As well as upping the resolution to Full HD, the E500 gives a further boost to either detail (sharpening...
  • Toshiba’s so focused on the future it’s forgotten that some of us still watch plain old 4:3 format discs. If you’ve got any old TV shows on DVD, the Tosh can’t upscale them without stretching them to fit widescreen – you&rsqu...
  • DVD has more lives than a motorway-crossing, chainsaw-juggling cat. The E500 revitalises your digital movie collection once more, giving colour, contrast and especially detail a next-generation pick-me-up. Best offers for the Toshiba XD-E500Bargain Sto...

  • Picture quality; sound; holds its own against other upscaling players
  • It's expensive for a DVD player; a pain to use with certain TVs
  • This is a decent upscaling DVD player that can breathe extra life into your DVD collection. The problem is, it's rather a pain to use at times, and if you own a 32-inch 1080p Philips TV you're going to be bang out of luck with it ...

  • ‘Sharp’ mode offers incredibly detailed pictures, naturally vibrant colours, smooth, stable motion, nice styling
  • Sound could do with just a little more refinement

  • The Toshiba XD-E500 is a solid upconverting DVD player, even with the extra settings turned off, and the sharp feature definitely adds detail. But due to the players £120 suggested price tag - roughly twice that of other upconverting players but pret...

  • Energy efficient. 1080p24 output.
  • Picture suffers a loss of detail with HDMI output. Default picture settings cause Sharpening artifacts. Overly softened image quality when displaying JPEG files. Low-resolution menus.
  • If you dont want to spring for Blu-ray, there are plenty of upconverting DVD players to choose from, but the Toshiba XD-E500 is one to avoid....

  • Abstract:  I can remember a time when Toshiba offered entry level DVD players and also high dollar flagship models like the SD-9200. As DVD players became a commodity Toshiba logically focused on mainstream consumer players much like the XD-E500 reviewed here. T...

  • Abstract:  Toshiba dropped its support for HD DVD nearly a year ago, grudgingly conceding that BD is the de facto high-def optical disc format in much of the world. Still, the company hasn’t exactly embraced Sony’s format quite yet. The XD-E500 is Toshiba’s budge...
