Supposed to be the next big thing in DVD up conversion from Toshiba, I still rent alot of SD DVD's so I figured I might give it a try out and see how it compares to my HD-XA2, besides if I don't like it I'll have 30 days to take it back.

    If it helps.

    Of course you can also get a Pioneer DV-48av 1080p upscaler thats also SACD & DVD-A for $99. Not sure how the upscaling compares but...
