Primaz, I would honestly consider two independent HD DVD and Blu-ray standalones over either LG's or Samsung's current combo players. All three have problems, especially the LG BH100 which should have never been released.
- 1080p/24fps support only, most 1080p displays cannot accept 24fps.
- DVD upscaling only up to 1080i, despite having 1080p for HD DVD and Blu-ray.
- Converts all Dolby Plus tracks to standard Dolby.
- Internal decoding for only stereo Dolby TrueHD.
- No HDi support for HD DVD, the player is not approved by the DVD Forum because of this.
- Complete incompatibility (failure to play) with many newer Blu-ray titles.
- Only a 96/24 Audio DAC
- No Audio CD support.
- You can only update the player via a CD-R, despite the unit having an Ethernet port.
