LG Electronics, South Korea’s largest home appliance maker, said Thursday that it would launch the world’s first DVD player capable of playing both Blu-ray Disc and HD-DVD content in a move that could end the latest movie format war.
LG said the new high-definition disc player will be unveiled in the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas next week. LG, which was a strong supporter of Sony’s Blu-ray format, declined to comment on details but said the new development would end the brewing controversy over rival technolgies.
