I agree. I fed it some 9 year old DVDs (the oldest in my collection). These DVDs' -- while anamorphically enhanced -- still suffered badly from background mosquito noise and EE "ringing". The mosquito noise was greatly diminished by the player. The "ringing" was still there; in fact it was a...

There *is* some "weirdness" associated with the player, but it's all minor from my perspective, and may be fixed via a future firmware update: 1. When in any of the XDE modes ("Sharp","Color",Contrast") still frames presented by the player appear "edgy". So FBI Warnings and even static DVD...

Actually, I purchased one of these and am fairly pleased with it. The 1080p 24hz output mode alone is worth the price of the player if you own a front projection system. (My current front projector is a 720p Optoma HD-65.) This mode vastly reduces "judder" on film-based DVDs. (PLEASE NOTE...

I read this via a story linked on DIGG.COM. Of course, it's all just speculation at this point. What's not speculation is that Toshiba has applied for and received a new DVD logo which will presumably be on the new players. The info on the new logo can be found here: New Logo From...

I don't think that anybody seriously believes that this new upconverting process will make DVDs "look as good as BDs". The real question is whether or not it will make DVDs look "good enough" on the average 1080p 42" plasma/LCD flatpanel such that the average consumer-on-the-street doesn't feel...

Again, what we're hearing is that the new Tosh players will first mitigate MPEG-2 compression artifacts and then upconvert. The so-called "Super DVD" --- which may or may not happen --- will supposedly add Blu-ray's interactive features. It will take one of the new Tosh players, of course...

Based on what we've heard this "super-upconverting" process will actually be able to remove and/or partially mitigate MPEG-2 compression artifacts. And it will do this *before* providing the 480p to 1080p upconversion. If that information is accurate I suppose it's possible that the picture...

I think the most intriguing thing about what we're hearing is the possibility of the player being able to clean up MPEG-2 compression artifacts on the fly. (Will this work by bringing multiple frames into a huge RAM buffer and then "massaging" the frames via the new DSP circuitry?) I don't...

Hyothetically, (and extrapolating from what has been disseminated earlier in this thread), let's assume the following: * The new Toshiba player upscales ordinary DVDs to high-def resolution while simultaneously cleaning up MPEG-2 compression artifacts via a new, improved DSP algorithm. *...
