Samsung dual-format Blu-ray/HD-DVD

By Robert | April 13, 2007

Samsung today have announced that they will be releasing a dual format Blu-ray/HD-DVD player.

Samsung have been tempting to build such a DVD play for a while now and have finally come through with the goods. LG where the first to come out with a dual format DVD player but their version did not support all of the features of the HD-DVD format and did not bear the official HD-DVD logo. Samsung’s version will have full support for both formats.

“We are very pleased to announce the upcoming release of our Duo HD player. Consumers are hungry for more HD content but are currently confused about competing formats. Samsung’s Duo HD player will allow consumers access to every HD movie title available regardless of the authoring format. Samsung is committed to making life simpler through technology and will market next generation DVD products which will satisfy the consumer and market requirement. This is a big win for the consumer.

They price has not been set yet but my guess with the full support of both formats will come a hefty price tag. If you are in the market for a HD-DVD or Blu-ray player it might just pay off to wait it out a little longer.
