The HD-XE1 is the company older brother to its HD-E1 we reviewed before Christmas. The main new feature to get excited about is the 1080p true HD support rather than just 720p or 1080 as in the previous player. That sounds important and is if you have the TV to match it, however anyone opting to watch this on a smaller screen than 40-inches isn't going to see the difference. That aside, speed, which plagued the performance of the HD-E1 has also been improved and although the drive bay still takes a little time to eject (considerably longer than DVD) its also considerably faster than the HD-E1.
