After Toshiba announced that it will no longer develop, manufacture and market HD DVD players and recorders, now LG comes with other news. LG will continue to back, develop and offer HD DVD players to the existing HD DVD customer.
LG is currently offering a dual machine capable of both playing HD DVD and Blu-ray discs, and the company isn’t planning to make any changes with this. ‘LG believes that at this present moment in time, it is necessary to provide a player which supports both formats and therefore create simplicity and convenience for the existing HD DVD consumer,’ says a LG spokesman.
With announcing their continuing support for HD DVD they show some humanity. By offering duo-players they make sure that everybody can continue to enjoy their created HD DVD collection. Others might be dropping the format, but LG seems to be a firm believer.
