CNET Editors' review - LG BH100

Very good

7.0

out of 10
CNET Editor's rating: 7.0 out of 10
Reviewed by Matthew Moskovciak
Review date: 3/28/07
Release date: 2/1/07

The good: Plays back both HD DVD and Blu-ray discs; excellent image quality on both high-def disc formats; attractive design with touch-sensitive buttons; excellent remote; quick response during scans and chapter skips.

The bad: Expensive; no CD playback; subpar support for new surround soundtracks; does not support HDi interactive features of HD DVDs; only a few TVs can't accept its type of 1080p output; upscaling of DVDs is a step below competitors; load times are somewhat slow.

The bottom line: The LG BH100 can play back both HD DVD and Blu-ray discs with excellent image quality, but a variety of quirks and missing features limits its appeal.
