Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

Lg bh-100 multi format player plays all formats without a hitch. All my hi-def tvs now have this player connected to them via hdmi cables. If the movie is on both hd-dvd and blu-ray, it's the same exact 1080p movie in different packaging.

Great player that upconverts standard dvds to as perfect as standard can get. Lord of the rings look fantasic as well as the incredibles. I own panasonic bd-30k which is a perfect blu ray disc player. But this one has the same quality with panasonic's...  Read More



Cons

Product support for lg is non-existent. Lg has not supported anything other than windows 2000 or xp for downloads. It balks all the time and is very unforgiving of scratches or fingerprints on a disc.

Highlights

Quality


It delivers impressive audio and video on both formats and upconverts standard dvds to near high def resolution.


Great video quality, great upconversion and decodes the newest audio codecs as well (hdmi only).


Lg is still updating firmware as we speak(a year and a half after they stopped making them) to keep up with the stupid idiotic ...  Read More


We have had an 43" hd plasma for years, and other than a mac on the pc input, it has never displayed hd content.

Price


For the extra bucks it is very worth it!


I am totally satisfied with this player i got one for 400$ and the other for about 500$ and have had them for about 2-3 years w...  Read More


I was lucky because i bought this player a 100 dollars cheaper here than what it is going now.


I guess that says how good of a machine this is (although $1600 is far too high).

Shipping


Delivery time it took to get here.


I called lg for the update disc and they said it would take up to ten days to get to me and i got it in 4 days.

Packaging/appearance


Now i got one box to play my digital media in the best presentation presently possible.


If the movie is on both hd-dvd and blu-ray(lets say top gun for example), it's the same exact 1080p movie in different packaging.


While it still looked good, t whe ps3 bd image was always a little grainy (though not as noticeable to my wife!

Competitiveness


It uses qdeo processing, which is very similar to hqv processing.


Personally, i like this boxier design than the more round-edge samsung player, and gotta love the buttons.


Unless you compare the on and off side by side, you wouldn't notice when you first use it.


I decided to purchase this player instead of the samsung combo player.
