Strengths: Can play both Blu Ray and HD DVD disks in 1080p as well as upconvert Std DVD to 1080i.
Weakness: Incompatible with some 1080p TVs and menuing on HD DVDs is not true.
As of the writing of this (01/03/08) the price has fallen from the original $1200 to $600, which is why I did not include price as a weakness. It is great to own this "hybrid" which will play both HD formats, but there are problems with it. First, it will play at full 1080p resolution on most TVs that accept 1080p but not all. For example, the Sharp LC52D92U will only accept input from this unit...
Strengths: Great picture and sound for HD DVD and Blu-ray.
Weakness: none
I connected my unit to my Denon AVR 4306 and tested it with both HD DVD and Blu-ray. The player was flawless. It made me run out to the store to buy as many different titles as possible. I am happy I waited for a combo hit the market. Now I have the best of both worlds!
Strengths: Works on everything I have and then some!
Weakness: None
Works on everything I have and then some! Player works with both HD and Blue Ray. Easy to use menues and set up works flawlessly. There is also a firmware update you can download for it.

THis unit will obviously deliver a very crisp cinematic experience. The problem is that it is too expensive. If you can't wait to watch HD movies, sure get it. But, I'm not into manufacturers making consumers pay hand and foot because they combined two technologies. In my opinion that type of combo usually makes things cheaper. Hence the reason why you'll see a McDonald'd in a Gas Station.

The BH100, is a good first step towards solving the differences between Blu-ray and HD-DVD. However, the BH100 it is not a pancea that will make everyone involved in the Blu-ray/HD-DVD landscape breathe a sigh of relief. The BH-100 is essentially a Blu-ray Disc Player that can also play HD-DVDs. In other words, while the BH100 provides access to all Blu-ray Disc functions, it cannot access many...

BH100
Strengths: None
Weakness: Many: Lasted less than 1 year, not repaired even though sent 2x for repair, doesn't have any sound on BlueRay DVD's
This unit worked for about 8 months. Sent in twice to LG for repair ($69 labor charge). Now it has no sound on BlueRay DVD's. Sitting in basement gathering dust. Replaced with quality Sony player.
