LG's first hybrid Blu-Ray and HD DVD player, the BH100 is closer to reality with a recent introduction of the hardware. Consumers should no longer have to settle exclusively on either format when the player launches for $1,199 sometime during the first quarter of this year. The player features 1080p HDMI and component video output, 5.1 analog audio outputs, coaxial and digital optical outputs and an Ethernet connection. Expect more details soon.
