LG's Blu-ray/HD-DVD Combo is Coming!
By: Aalaap Ghag   |   Jan 04, 2007

LG has now officially announced that it will launch a dual-format Blu-ray and HD-DVD disc player in the US early this year!

 

Instead of taking sides in the heated war between Blu-ray and HD-DVD supports, LG was one of the first biggies to offer the best of both the worlds to the users by announcing a single dual-format device capable of playing both next generation formats, Blu-ray and HD-DVD. This was indicated earlier last year, but in the months that followed, LG had also announced that it had "no official plans at the moment."

LG will provide details at CES in the next four days, so stick around and we'll keep you posted!

The picture here is of the LG BD199 Blu-ray player which doesn't do HD-DVD. It is here for representational purposes only.

This is not going to solve the dual format problems in the long run. The price of the LG combo player would be almost as much as buying a blu-ray and an hd dvd player separately. But why should a consumer be forced to be restricted to a specific format or the other. The market still needs to settle down to a single ubiquitous format.

Or if it gets a little too late, I guess now with the Tera Era beckoning, as Bill Gates sats "The future lies in digital storage". (Online storage).
