lg bh200
LG's BH200 Super Blu player, which is an upgrade to their original HD DVD/Blu-ray player, sounded like a great idea on paper. However, with the state of HD DVD being what it is (dying), it's probably not a great decision to pay a premium on a player that does one good format and one useless one. Nevertheless, this BH200 is actually a decent piece of tech, with 1080p resolution at 60Hz or 24Hz (if it detects the right display support) and pretty good image quality.

We just met with a high-ranking source inside LG, who tells us that their second-generation Blu-ray/HD DVD combo player is shipping now for the MSRP of $999. Think that's too much when you can get separate Blu-ray and HD DVD players for the grand total of less than that? Well, just wait until after Christmas, when it officially drops to $799. (This is the MSRP too, the street price could be even less.) Not too shabby for the privilege of saving one cabinet slot on your home entertainment setup.

You've seen the pics, you've read the specs, now it's time to put a stopwatch on this second-generation combo player from LG. Expected to sell for around $1000 when it hits the streets in mid-October, it's able to play just about any disc format, including good ol' CDs. But we wanted to know, how long do you have to wait after you insert an HD DVD or Blu-ray disc before you can see the first video? We tested Sharp's Blu-ray player last night and it took 34 seconds. Let's see how this one stacks up.

LG Intros $999 BH200 Super Blu Combo HD Player
Realizing that Samsung's BD-UP5000 was going to give the original hybrid BH100 a run for its money, LG announced the more competitive BH200 Super Blu Player for watching both Blu-ray and HD DVD discs. It'll cost $999 when it ships in October, and will include support and features its $1,200 predecessor sorely lacked:More »

Nokia Shoots Out Bluetooth Headsets, Bluetooth GPS Modules, Bluetooth Speakers
Nokia's really into this new fangled Bluetooth techno-mology, shooting out Bluetooth addons like they shoot out phones—scattershot, hoping they hit something good with at least one. They've got the LD-4W GPS module, BH-903 Stereo Bluetooth Headset with A2DP, BH-0-2 (non-Stereo) Bluetooth headset, MD-7W Bluetooth speakers, and the DC-1 Power Pack. These are all made for standard Nokia phones, save for the headsets, which will probably work with most other Bluetooth devices. The most interesting one is the BH-903, which doesn't just have A2DP, but AVRCP, PBAP, HFP, HSP, and TSFU profiles. [Nokia via All About Symbian]

WSJ Pulp Bite: Mossberg and the New War to End the HD Format War
Walt Mossberg, the WSJ's master chief of gadgetdom, reviews LG's hybrid HD disc BH100 Super Voltron Blue (or whatever). His take is like our take. Most interestingly, Mossberg tangentially points out a very funny thing: The LG is flawed because it won't play HD-DVD interactive content. But LG won't necessarily release a perfect successor because the cominghybrid HD-DVD/Blu-Ray discs threaten its sales. Come again? More »

Sizemodo: LG BH100 Super Multi Blue Actually Smaller Than Standalones
How is this possible? How does LG's Blu-ray/HD DVD player end up being smaller than the cheapest HD DVD and Blu-ray player? Apparently by skimping on the HD features, though we don't imagine that'd add any noticible size to the device. More »

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 few flaws that keep me from recommending this player as the ultimate peace keeper in the HD format war. More »

Unboxing LG's BH100 HD-DVD/Blu-Ray Player
Despite all the controversy, it appears LG's dual-format DVD player has safely made its way into Gadgetaholic's headquarters, and lucky for us, they were nice enough to give the BH100 the ritual unboxing it deserves. The unit clearly has the official Blu-ray logo, but not the official HD DVD logo, so all that earlier talk about it not getting the DVD Forum's stamp of approval proved to be true. The player itself looks pretty slick, our only nitpick is the remote, which looks a little low end for such a pricey piece of machinery. More »
