This just proves once again that Toshiba is nowhere near "the first name in quality". I heard about this a few weeks ago and the first thought that came into my mind was, as Kramer (CNBC's Mad Money host) would say, "Don't buy! Don't buy!". That revelation made purchase of the Toshiba HD DVD player a no-brainer: Just say NO!

Given this, it's pretty ironic that Toshiba spent a great deal of marketing money in promoting the better picture quality attained when the complete video signal is available to the display (especially below black video) nearly a decade ago when DVD first emerged. I applauded them for doing so back then, but they now need a kick in the ass for being so irresponsible with this screw up at HD DVD's launch. What makes matters worse is that their HDMI DVD players were hammered on this very subject when they were released.
