Title: LG BH100 - Blue-Ray disc and HD DVD player
Pros: 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.

Title: LG Super Multi Blue BH100
Pros: Picture quality; sound quality; dual-format support; ease of use; great connectivity; included HDMI cable
Cons: Lack of support for HD DVD features; high price
Verdict: Picture quality is great on both HD DVD and Blu-ray and if this player cost £500 instead of £1,000 we'd recommend it. As it is, however, it's just too much to pay for something that doesn't support proper HD DVD menus
Summary: If you can't decide which format to back in the Blu-ray and HD DVD scuffle, then worry no more -- a solution is here called the LG BH100 Super Multi Blue Player, and it plays both high-definition formats. Unfortunately, it'll set you back a hefty wad

Title: LG Super Multi Blue Player BH100 Preview - Blu-ray & HD DVD
Summary: The LG Super Multi Blue Player (BH100) is a 'format-agnostic' player which will service both HD DVD and Blu-ray, but the question is: will people want to play both?

Title: LG Blu-ray Disc & HD DVD Player with Standard DVD Upconversion
Summary: 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. Until i

Title: LG Super Blu Player (BH100)
Pros: Plays HD DVD and Blu-ray movies. Supports 1080p24 output via HDMI. Useful and well-crafted on-screen display.
Cons: 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.
Summary: LG delivers the first set-top player that supports HD DVD and Blu-ray movies. But the BH100's HD DVD support is limited to basic playback, as it lacks the format's interactive and online capabilities as well as support for enhanced menu features.

Title: Ultimate AV: LG BH-100 Super Multi Blue Player
Summary: 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 th

Title: LG BH100 Super Multi Blue Blu-ray HD DVD player
Pros: Plays Blu-ray, plays HD DVD, plays DVD
Cons: Price, didn't seem to offer all the features individual players do, doesn't play CDs
Verdict: Great idea, shame about the price
Summary: - With the format war still raging strong, what better way than to try and beat the battle than to opt for a hybrid player that offers both formats in the same box?

Title: LG BH100
Pros: Plays both HD disc formats, Great picture and sound quality
Cons: Far too expensive, It can't play audio CDs!, Highly limited HD DVD support
Verdict: Nice deck though it is, the BH100 isn't worth £1,000. The build quality is nothing special and there are several flaws in both its application of HD DVD and its audio limitations
Summary: It's the first next-generation player to support both Blu-ray and HD DVD discs, allowing you to nicely sidestep the next-gen format war altogether. So the LG BH100 is obviously a hands-down winner in the hi-def stakes, right? Well, no actually

Title: LG BH-100 multiformat HD player
Verdict: If you can overlook these faults, it's a tempting buy. But if you want the best sound and video, you should really get yourself two dedicated players. Or wait for a newer model from LG.
Summary: Format war? What format war?

Summary: The high definition video battle continues, but for those who would rather just enjoy the movies instead of waiting for a victor to emerge, LG has the perfect (and thus far the only) solution. The BH100 happily plays both HD DVDs and Blu-ray Discs, and of

Title: LG BH100
Pros: Looks great, 1080p output
Cons: Not fully HD DVD-compatible
Verdict: It's a good stab at peacemaking, but it's not going to end the HD disc format war
Summary: On paper, LG's BH100 is the answer to every high definition lover's prayers. Finally a manufacturer has stepped clear of all the political machinations of the warring HD DVD and Blu-ray factions and put together a player capable of handling both formats

Summary: Back in January, we anointed LG's Super Multi Blu BH100 "Best in Show" at CES 2007, for being the first player to offer both Blu-ray and HD DVD playback in a single product. There's no doubt LG pulled off an impressive feat with the BH100, but whether or

Title: LG BH100 | Our Review | TechRadar.com
Pros: Good picture quality, Concept deserves credit
Cons: Pointlessly expensive, Missing some important features, Only limited HD DVD support
Verdict: Our advice is to wait. The price tag is bound to drop at some point, especially as LG's deadly rival Samsung has its own multiformat HD disc-spinner (one with a web connection and full HD DVD playback) coming later this year
Summary: It's the world's first dual-format player

Pros: The only combo Blu-ray/HD DVD player available, faster than usual operation, full 24 frames per second progressive scan output.
Cons: Won't play CDs, interactive features not available for HD DVD.
Verdict: The LG BH100 Super Multi Blue Player is an excellent Blu-ray player and a pretty good HD DVD and DVD player. And the price is lower than all the other Blu-ray players currently available. This is truly an excellent device
Summary: Why buy two when one can do it all- That's something you should consider when acquiring high definition video for your home. The LG BH100 Super Multi Blue Player means you don't have to choose between Blu-ray and HD DVD because it will play them both
