You’veseen the pics , you ’ve read the specs , now it ’s time to put a stopwatch on this second - multiplication combo histrion from LG . expect to sell for around $ 1000 when it hits the streets in mid - October , it ’s able to play just about any disc format , include good ol’ CDs . But we wanted to roll in the hay , how long do you have to wait after you stick in an HD DVD or Blu - ray disc before you may see the first video ? We testedSharp ’s Blu - ray musician last dark and it took 34 seconds . Let ’s see how this one stacks up .

We hit the stopwatch first on a Blu - ray record , and the time from tray intromission to first video was an eventual 31 seconds . For HD DVD , it was a bit agile , at 29.7 seconds . We ’d rather see this time shaved to under 10 instant .
And oh yeah , the 1080p video come out of the player was just perfect , in both Blu - beam of light and HD videodisc clipping . And , looky there , it ’s the official HD videodisc logo sitting there , lacking in the first - coevals player because of so-called Microsoft recalcitrancy . Good Book is that the Redmondians did n’t want to see some crazy mind like a dual role player hitting the mart , making consumers ’ live easier . Apparently all is forgive . [ No , the original LG player did n’t do true HD DVD because it could n’t handle interactive menus . -B.Lam ]
