Review on Toshiba XD-E500 1080p Upconverting DVD Player with Enhanced Detail by Taj Tyagi

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Very good picture, but problems with 4:3 DVDs

This Toshiba has a very good picture quality. the converted image with the highest quality of all. However, the XDE500 will not properly format 4:3 sidewall DVDs for playback on a 16:9 TV. Instead, the image on the TV screen is stretched. The aspect ratio settings on the device do not affect this issue. After researching, I found that this is a common problem with (cheaper) upconverted DVD players. Don't try. Another problem (common to all devices) is that HTML connections do not carry subtitles. With the DVDs I burned, I couldn't activate the closed captions via the DVD player (as "subtitles") and then also not via the television because they were not sent via the HTML link. .
