Expert review by : What Hi-Fi? (whathifi.com)
If for some reason you don't want to embrace Blu-ray, the XDE600 offers good value and decent upscaled images – and we've seen it even cheaper
1080p spec ; USB input ; bright, colourful pictures
Lacks sonic detail and visual subtlety
We have seen it a fair bit cheaper, which makes it great value, but we feel obliged to point someone towards a more capable budget BD player

XDE wizardry makes this budget DVD deck an essential purchase
XDE processing ; Ease of use ; Credit crunch-friendly price
Build quality
With some of the best upscaled pictures seen at this price and decent features, the XDE-600 is an unequivocal bargain
Expert review by : Danny Phillips (pocket-lint.com)
Last year's XDE-500, the first DVD player equipped with Toshiba's eXtended Detail Enhancement (XDE) technology, certainly took upscaled picture quality to new heights, but a replacement for high-def it was not. Of course the quality of this processing...
XDE processing, USB port, price
Non-XDE pictures
Of course the quality of this processing does highlight how mediocre the XDE-600’s non-XDE upscaled pictures are – detail is vague, colours are uninspiring and noise seems more of a problem. But then buying this player and not using XDE is like driving...

If you can't afford a Blu-ray deck but still want great pics, then this is where it's at
XDE is still the best upscaling tech around, and the price is hard to argue with
It feels cheap, and is guilty of over-processing at times
Expert review by (gadgetheaven.co.uk)
What the XDE600 offers is superior image quality, which is in part enabled by a set of three video processing techniques. These are designed to enhance the detail of the image, adjust the colour and perfect the contrast all in the fraction of a second...

Consumer review (reevoo.com)
Very easy to set up - worked immediately.
Wording above function buttons is quite hard to see. Might be better if ON/OFF switch was a different colour.
Consumer review (reevoo.com)
Nice design, really upscale your DVDs.
It takes a little time to turn on, but it's a very small thing
Consumer review (reevoo.com)
Easy to use good quality picture.
Info on dvd display very limited.
Consumer review (reevoo.com)
It enhances the quality of a normal DVD, to give an even sharper image on a Large screen. It plays a lot of formats, and has a USB hole for USB stick memory. Do buy a proper hdmi cable to go with this machine and check the length needed!
A little slow reading stick memory.
