Holy Crap..that is some nice picture quality, but how this looks will also depend on your hdtv. Not all HDTVs are the same quality. Definitely worth checking out since some of my fav vids will probably never make it to Blu-Ray (Black Cauldron, Tron, Warlords of Atlantis, etc)

Ferrari's and Hummers (to some!) look good too..but I don't drive either. If it's HD TV, how much are you willing to PAY to make incremental improvements? I doubt many are on the market for expensive improvements. I drive a Dodge...but it sho' ain't a VIPER! Too much ''WOWEE'' turns the heads of tech readers.

Interesting technology but if a movie or series is released on Blu-ray, that will yield native 1080p resolution which trumps this one. As it is, I think this tech is only viable for people having an HDTV and wanting to watch older shows that probably won't get a BD release.

@ 1 hour of processing time. It looks like they are saying that the Hitachi processes in real time. Still is nothing more than stretching Silly Putty. Taking 480 lines of quality information and magically adding 600 lines of information. Silly Putty.
Edit: That was their Blu-Ray Killer that took an hour+ to process information, not the xde-500

Actually, this is what I read on highdefforums:
Toshiba's Spurs-engine-based SRT technology takes 3 hours to process an hour of video. So none of this is happening in real time on the SRT machine. You have to let the laptop process the video first before you can watch the "upconverted" movie.

This Hitachi HDTV must have some really heavy-duty (and likely very expensive) processing power to be able to do it in real time.

At first I thought that the XDE-500 was the one with the Spurs chip in it but it is not. The XDE-500 was rated as Good but not worth the money.

So is the processor and later LSI chip only for Hitachi tv's and not for dvd players ?

After reading again, your right. It is in the TV and not the Player.
