LG Super Blu Player (BH100)
If you can get past its price, the LG BH100 takes the guesswork out of which HD disc format is the right one for you.
Plays HD DVD and Blu-ray movies. Supports 1080p24 output via HDMI. Useful and well-crafted on-screen display.
Does not support interactive/online/graphical HD DVD features. Remote is missing a basic HD DVD navigation-control feature. Remote's backlight is essentially useless. No 1080p upconversion. No support for 1080p60 output.
the bh100 is touted as a "fullhd 1080p" device. this is technically true, but there are some interesting limitations here. the 1080p video output from the bh100 is limited to 24-hz and 30-hz signaling; it doesn't support the more common 60-hz format....

LG BH100 review: LG BH100
Plays back both HD DVD and Blu-ray discs; excellent image quality on both high-def disc formats; attractive design with touch-sensitive buttons; excellent remote; quick response during scans and chapter skips.
Expensive; no CD playback; subpar support for new surround soundtracks; does not support HDi interactive features of HD DVDs; only a few TVs can't accept its type of 1080p output; upscaling of DVDs is a step below competitors; load times are somewhat...
The LG BH100 can play back both HD DVD and Blu-ray discs with excellent image quality, but a variety of quirks and missing features limits its appeal.

LG Blu-ray Disc & HD DVD Player with Standard DVD Upconversion
You may be ready for a Blu-ray world but in reality, the world is not completely Blu-ray ready. You've probably got a ton of standard definition DVDs, games and other favorites lying around you'll still want to play on your prized HDTV widescreen....

LG BH-100 Super Multi Blue Player
Going back to those heady days of wine, roses and Laserdiscs, the general public, if aware at all of LD's existence, would yawn and claim to be interested when a recordable LD is introduced. Of course that never happened and LD is currently residing in...

LG BH-100 Super Multi Blue Player
Step into the next century, and a common refrain among the unwashed today is that they'll be interested in buying a next-gen player when there's a clear winner in the format war or a combi player that plays both formats. The idea is to prevent the...

LG BH100 Blu-ray/HD DVD Player
Well, no one saw this coming. We're not that far into the format war between HD DVD and Blu-ray, and LG has come out with the BH100, a player that plays both formats. So, is that it? Format war over? Hardly.

Plays BDs and HD DVDs with superb resolution, Good Boot-up times and disc access speeds, Good Image Quality with BDs and HD DVDs, Decodes DTS-HD Master Audio
Lack of HDi interactivity makes navigating HD DVDs frustrating and eliminates some of the format's coolest features, Unable to output multichannel PCM over HDMI, Dolby TrueHD compatibility is two-channel only

LG BH100 Blu-ray/HD DVD Player

DVD upconverting isn’t very good. The image is very soft, and the color seems undersaturated. In chapter 2 of the DVD version of The Fifth Element, the professor’s beard is softer than it would look if you let most TVs do the upconversion...

First Review: LG BH100 Hybrid Blu-Ray/HD-DVD Player (Verdict: Format War Still Blazing)
We got the LG BH100 in the mail yesterday. It does what claims to do — be the very first high definition disc player that is compatible with both Blu-ray and HD-DVD. But don't wave the white flag in the format war quite yet. Our first grope reveals a...
