    CNET Review

    February 12, 2008

    The Good: Plays both Blu-ray and HD DVD discs in a single unit; excellent image quality on Blu-ray Discs and HD DVDs; full support for HD DVD interactive features; slick high-definition menu system; supports Blu-ray Profile 1.1.

    The Bad: More expensive than two standalone players; high-resolution audio support is lackluster; annoying bug on DVD playback; does not output at 24 frames per second; some disc compatibility issues on Blu-ray; no analog multichannel outputs; cannot upgrade firmware over Ethernet.

    The Bottom Line: The LG BH200 is an improvement on its groundbreaking predecessor, but an HD DVD/Blu-ray combo player just isn't an attractive product anymore.

    Review Summary: The BH200 may cost an arm and a leg, but it solves the Blu-ray/HD DVD dilemma by playing both formats. That said, sluggish HD DVD menu navigation and a bevy of quirks give the player an unfinished feel.
