I have a Xe1 & Toshiba BDX-3200 region free. The upscale on the 3200 is ok, but I mainly use the Xe1 for all my DVD upscaling
60's Mission Impossible looks gorgeous on the Xe1.

| Post subject: | Toshiba and DVD upscaling |
Reading a lot on Toshiba and their HD-DVD players. Mostly that the upscaling capabilities for standard DVDs on their HD-DVD players were superb. I'm about to finally breakdown and buy an Blu-ray player. An all-region player to be exact (because I have to have my imports), and was thinking of getting a Toshiba for the above reason. Can anyone confirm this? Were the upscaling capabilities of the HD-DVD players overstated? I plan to use this player as my main DVD player as well since I have a lot of import DVDs (and I'll retire my trusty Skyworth 1050D Prog Scan DVD player to my bedroom.) |

Take a look at the OPPO blu-ray units. They can easily be made region and zone free, and their DVD upscaling is superb. I do have an OPPO BDP-83, and a TOSHIBA HD-XE1, which is always rumored to be "the best player ever made", and I have to say most of it is rumors. It's loud, it's annoying, it's nothing special. The OPPO was the real deal for me, really satisfying. |

Well, I'm thinking the Toshiba because I can get a good deal on an all-region one right now; like ~$100US. |

lons_vex is absolutely right in everything he´s saying about Oppo and the Toshiba Unit.Ok, I wouldn´t be too harsh on the upscaling qualitys of the Toshiba player, it´s doing good. I have an Oppo BDP-93, it´s region free for both BD and DVD and working like a charm.Besides that, I see that you don´t wanna spend too much money, so if you just need it for playing your DVDs, this player will be alright. Since it´s been a while ( + 4 years) since Toshiba excelled with it´supscaling technolog in HD-DVD Players, I´m sure a new BD Player will work out quite as well. |
