1. Comment - LG Hybrid Disc Player Not Licensed for HD DVD Logo

   (Jan 24, 2007 - 9:40 AM)

   I bought an LG BH100 yesterday in Best Buy.
   The quality of The Mummy Returns (HDDVD) was OUTSTANDING. Two different Blue Ray DVD's were equal to but in no way any better than any HDDVD. The fact that LG provided a proprietary
   software menu for HD DVD is in no way a problem. You can still enter the menu on the fly and make changes while the movie is playing. The real difference is that the actual HDDVD menu is more fancy. As far as not having network support for HDi; the BD100 has a network connection on the back of the unit. The manual states that it is for service personnel use only. I am sure that the proper software upgrade could activate this network connection to be utilized for HDi. Finally, as far as HDMI V1.3 support; there is no doubt that this could corrected with a firmware update. After all, is this not exactly what Toshiba has done with its first generation firmware upgrade to V2.0 which now plays Dolby True HD? The one MAJOR PLUS which the LG BH100 has over all other units at the current time is the fact that it plays HDDVD's at a full 1080P. The picture quality of BlueRay DVD's at 1080P is EXCELLENT; the picture quality of HDDVD's at 1080P is EXCELLENT; and the picture quality of regular DVD's at an upscaled 1080i is EXCELLENT. ISN'T THAT WHAT ALL OF THIS IS ABOUT?
