Despite reports last September that LG will not be manufacturing a dual player for both competing formats for high definition content, HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc, the company has given a welcome surprise by announcing it will be showing a dual-format player at CES next week after all. A player for both formats has been anticipated by both content providers and consumers alike.
LG did not give many details on the technology used in the player, or how much one will cost. It did say however that the unit is expected to be available in the United States in early 2007 and promised further details will be given at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) being held in Las Vegas January 8th - 11th.
"LG expects this technological breakthrough to end the confusion and inconvenience of competing high-definition disc formats for both content producers and consumers." a press release from the company states.
