SuperMultiBlue, the perfect solution. (united kingdom)
While Blu-ray and HD-DVD are fighting fiercely for the market share, Korean electronics giant LG has come up with a perfect solution – putting the 2 players together into one – SuperMultiBlue.
The LG’s solution is the world’s first dual-format Blu-ray and HD DVD player, capable of outputting footage at 1080p (the highest of hi-def outputs), boasting a full range of connections including HDMI and component alongside the usual AV suspects. SuperMultiBlue also supports a wide range of video formats, and is also capable of playing your old DVDs.
A cool addition to the player is the java-based interactive menus. This enables you to see the footage on screen, also with an overlay menu, which enables you to get into the interactive options.
If you’ve been scratching your head for a decision on whether buying a HD-DVD or Blue-Ray player, then LG has just made the decision for you and it’s the best.
The price will put a lot people off, but I’m sure it will drop at some point, and in the end of the day, it’s worth it!
