LG BH100 Combo Player

Spiderman 3 went in next, and this treated us to some high quality AV performance. The colors were striking, and the accuracy in the frames and details between objects were very good. Jaggies and moiré patterns were much lower than expected. I crosschecked it with the PS3, and the LG actually had a bit more depth and detail. Motion sequences also were amazing; though not noticeably better than the other players I have seen.

Conclusion
Here’s the catch. The player costs Rs 68,000 (whoa!) That's because of its dual hi-def disc capability, but there's still a heavy markup that I think is unreasonable. Moreover, HD DVDs are officially on the way out, so who cares for the duality? We're in the market for Blu-ray. (I actually preferred HD DVD, but more on that later). The image quality is exceptional, however, so if you have a great TV to match up to it, the experience is 'blown'. Our verdict? Bide your time for a newer model, or wait for the price to come down a bit.
