LG Bridges the Next-Gen DVD Gap
LG Electronics said it plans to release a next-gen DVD player that can handle both Blu-ray and HD DVD formats and perhaps finally bring an end to the debate and confusion over the dueling standards.The new player will be formally unveiled at next week’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas and will go on sale in the U.S. in early 2007, according to LG. It is expected to be the first commercially available player capable of handling discs in both HD DVD and Blu-ray formats.
The Korean-based consumer electronics giant said more details, including pricing and availability, will be released at the show.
