Toshiba XDE600 eXtended Detail Enhancement (XDE) Technology DVD Player

Toshiba eXtended Detail Enhancement (XDE) technology was originally created for the void left by HD DVD-filling, while the company which direction he wants to take the market in hi-def included. A year later, and Toshiba has wisely decided to go down the Blu-ray drive, but this does not mean that he turns his back on the XDE technology.

If anything, this upscaling DVD technology advances even more relevant now that the Toshiba has a good hi-def player to complete. The technology, which appeared on the XD-E500, analysis of the SD-source image, reinforced edges to eliminate the edges and increases the sharpness of small details in the areas that need it most. Despite our doubts about a player at the moment, XDE worked a treat and helped deliver some of the most convincing ‘near hi-def “images we have seen.

But one of our major criticisms of the XD-E500 is the price tag of £ 130, which are expensive by scaling standard DVD player, especially if you could buy a Blu-ray for not much more. Fortunately his successor, XDE600 is realistic, the price of just over 70 pounds, and if his performance is nowhere near as good as the previous attempt, so this would be one of the best quality DVD upscaler around.

A hands-on inspection that it is a different animal XDE600 of his predecessor. It is lighter, thinner and a little more glamorous with its stylish glossy black finish and gray tinted sloping bottom, which is proudly emblazoned with the logo XDE. Press the light-as-a-trust body pen flop and not learning, but it is tightly screwed and certainly not in the least resistant, but no other player in the budget market. [via trustedreviews]
