The folks at Digital Trends have published a review of the hybrid Blu-ray/HD DVD player from LG Electronics – the BH100 – also known as the “Super Multi Blue” player. The BH100 provides 1080p output to high definition discs and also upconverts DVD video to 1080i. I’ll summarize the key features in case you’re not familiar with this player (where the heck have you been all these months then? I kid..)

• Blu-ray support and HD DVD playback support
• 1080p output via HDMI
• BD-J interactive menu system
• Supports Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby True HD and DTS-HD
• 5.1 channel output

Here’s the verdict:

Yes, it’s true that you could buy a stand-alone Blu-ray Disc player and stand-alone HD DVD player for about the same price, but you would not get the ease-of-use factor of having one component instead of two. Buying this player allows you the opportunity of enjoying both formats, which offer superior HD picture quality.
