Samsung BD-UP5000 Duo HD Blu-ray / HD DVD HD Player

Here is a player that supports both HD formats. After Warner's
decision to release titles exclusively in Blu-ray starting June 2008,
the market shifts toward Blu-ray as a standard, and only two major
studios are exclusively supporting HD-DVD: Universal and Paramount.

The price for this machine is around the $1,000 but can be found for
less. Still, there are plenty of machines that supports one of the
formats in half the price or less. This player is for people with a
large library of BD/HD-DVD titles who doesn't want to buy two players
or want to save space for other devices.

Specs:
Plays Blu-ray, HD DVDs, DVDs, and CDs.

The player's 7.1-channel analog audio outputs fixed 100Hz crossover.
But there are no level or delay adjustments for the individual
channels—a serious limitation.

The Dual player can output 1080p/24 or 1080p/60 over HDMI, and 1080i
over component.

The Duo HD player has a (LAN) Ethernet port.

Audio codecs the player supports include standard Dolby Digital and
standard DTS. Bitstream converts all source audio to standard DTS. No
multichannel Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD Master Audio

The player delivers superb picture quality, even in lower resolutions
- thanks to the HQV REON video processor from Silicon Optix, which
up-converts lower formats from 480i and higher.
