LG BH200 Super Blu Blu-Ray HD DVD Combo Player

You have already read the other accolades so I won't go that route... I concur with them! Quite frankly, I always preferred the HD DVD format over Blu-Ray. a much better menu system and IMHO better quality. I also own a Toshiba A2 HD DVD player and about 25 HD DVDs. I Was disheartened when the HD DVD format fell by the wayside. The good news to HD DVD fans is that this LG Super Blu combo unit lets you have your Hi-Def cake and eat it to. Now I buy bargain HD DVDs for past titles and Blu-Ray for new releases. Shop around for deals and you can find this unit considerably less than here.

Got on clearance at BB for $199.99. Upgraded the firmware and works great and even looks good. Better than my Samsung BD-P1200 and faster. Colors are deep and rich and sound is excellent. Looking forward to years of High Def viewing.

Great player but it is $250 cheaper if you buy direct from LG
I don't know how Amazon get away with this!

I was an HD DVD buyer who had the Xbox 360 drive as my primary player, so when Blu-Ray won, there was no was I was gonna abandon my hi def library because of corporate greed. I picked this player over the Samsung BDUP5000, as it has much more reliable firmware, plus the 5500 was cancelled before release. The LG has amazing upscaling using the QDEO engine, and rock solid firmware updates provided regularly by LG. They are keeping up with profile 1.1 releases right now, with a promise for 2.0 compatibility before they stop support for the player. It plays every HD DVD and Blu-Ray disc I've thrown at it, with easy to navigate menus, and a slick exterior display. If you can't decide between blue and red, do what I did and choose purple. You can find a ton of HD DVD releases at rock bottom prices now, instead of paying full markup for the Blu-Ray re-releases.

I am very happy with my new blueray hd dvd player by LG. It was exactly as it was described. I have had no problems with my player. Has a wonderful picture.
