Today LG announced that their next generation of dual-format high definition players will be using system-on-a-chip method(SoC). The deal struck with Broadcom will allow the best support for playing ALL high definition DVDs, instead of being committed to just HD DVDs or Blu-Ray DVDs.
Jin-Yong Kim, vice president of LG Electronics’ digital media research lab, said: “Utilizing Broadcom’s BCM7440 SoC, our new Super Blu player provides the finest user experience for playing back the widest range of high definition titles.”
Almost makes a person want to wait before delving into a certain format. However, as Christmas draws closer both sides of the format battle are starting to slash prices. I still can’t help the feeling that the consumer are the only ones that are going to pay for this stupid fight.
The current dual-format high definition player is the LG BH100, which has been known to leave some features of HD-DVDs out of playback. These issues will hopefully be resolved with the second generation of dual format players.
