Finally, a single machine that plays everything: HD DVDs, Blu-ray Discs, standard DVDs, and even CDs. Much better than its precursor, the BH100’s, and most of the initial player’s shortcomings were addressed in the company’s second, more successful stab at a dual-format player, the BH200 Super Blu. Picture quality is excellent with all compatible formats, and the BH200 can also hook up to a home network to let you take advantage of interactive features found on both HD DVD and Blu-ray. The major area where this second-gen Super Blu machine comes up short is audio performance, where it’s still limited in its support of the new high resolution formats

Besides the above mentioned it supports DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R and DVD+RW formatted discs as well as audio CDs

The LG BH200 has excellent image quality on Blu-ray Discs and HD DVDs. It has full support for HD DVD interactive features, slick high-definition menu system and it supports Blu-ray Profile 1.1 (with firmware to be released).

Even though this is a better player than the BH100, it does have shortcomings. It is more expensive than two standalone players; high-resolution audio support is not up to par. It has a irritating bug on DVD playback. It doesn’t output at 24 frames per second; it has some disc compatibility issues on Blu-ray. It lacks analog multichannel outputs and it cannot upgrade firmware over Ethernet.
