 Looks good for the few hours it will work December 3, 2008

I am on my second failed unit, and returning that tomorrow. I'm demanding shipping reimbursment at this point. I think Toshiba produced the absolute cheapest piece of made in china garbage possible. My first unit (in a nice protected theater rack with a power conditioner) worked for 2 movies, then 1/2 the cheap green lcd letters stopped working, then it started skipping multiple frames in the movie constantly. I just received a replacement from their Tennessee service center. It powers up but won't read any disks. It just says 'Loading...' indefinitely. I tried 5 brand new disks, nothing. If you have one and it's actually working, I doubt it will be for long. Wal-Mart no name brand DVD players have higher quality than this thing. br /br /What good is picture quality when your lucky if it works for two weeks.br /br /As for me, lesson learned, I'm sticking with Denon and Panasonic.br /br /-Chris in Chicago
 Best bang for the buck November 29, 2008
Just got one of these to replace a 6 month old Sony NS77H upconverter ( nothing wrong with the Sony, just wanted something better).br /I have a Samsung 42" 720P Plasma and I sit about 9 ft from the screen to watch it. This thing is much sharper with more detail than the Sony. I know its not Blu-Ray, but frankly, Im not sure how much better it could look.br /The picture is just stunning. In order for the picture tweaks to work on a 720P T.V. you have to set the output to 1080i and your T.V. will play it at 720P. This is hands down the best up-converter I have seen and its a steal at $100.00.br / The other night I watched Apacolypto HD thru Comcast on-demand while playing the same movie on this Toshiba. I started switching between them and I know there is a difference but if your not watching with your nose up against the screen I doubt you will see it.br / Blu-Ray Shmoo-Ray get this bad boy and you wont be sorry.br /
Best upscaler out there November 25, 2008
Once the price dropped I gave this unit a shot. I definitely notice an improvement playing standard DVDs compared to my HD-A2 on my 32" set. I like it and will keep it. If the quality of the DVD is good this player makes it look fantastic.br /br /Another reviewer noted that the picture enhancement button did not work. In order for this feature to work the signal must be output via HDMI at 1080. My set is 720 but it accepts the 1080 signal.

Well I fell for it and purchased this DVD player.br /So far I have tried playing about 10 DVD's and everytime I try to use the picture enhancement I get a pop up saying "not allowed at the moment". When I try most of the other buttons on the remote I get the same useless pop up.br /br /All the hype in the world and full page ads in USA Today don't help if the DVD player doesn't deliver what's advertised.br /br /I made a big mistake purchasing this Toshiba.
Stutter, Stutter, Freeze, Restart, Freeze ...Bad Disc? November 23, 2008
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
I bought the XD-E500 the week it was announced for the ridiculous price of $150 (yeah, I should have waited). This Toshiba player is slower to load movies than my old DVD player, and the difference in quality is hard to notice at times on a 36" 720p set, but I was happy with it for about two weeks. Then the thing decided to die a painful, brutal death. First, it started stuttering on movies. Stopping the movie, opening and closing the tray, and restarting the movie seemed to fix the problem. However, a few days later it started to freeze during playback. A restart just gave the message Bad Disc and it would refuse to play. After a three-minute power-down, the movie would play again, but the stutters, freezes, and Bad Disc errors would continue. It is now impossible for me to watch a movie all the way through on this player. Do not buy this piece of garbage. I would recommend a Samsung BDP1500 or Sony BDP350 Blu-Ray player over this Toshiba junk.
