I sincerely hope that Toshiba comes to its senses sometime soon and starts to produce Blu-ray players, because if the company keeps its head firmly in the sand, it's going to seriously damage its standing in the home entertainment arena. Now that the form...
Abstract: Toshiba hung on for a couple more months, offering aggressive price discounts on their newest HD DVD players, but it was all for naught. So, they quietly withdrew from the optical disc scene to consider their next steps.

Picture quality; sound; holds its own against other upscaling players
It's expensive for a DVD player; a pain to use with certain TVs

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...
