CES 07: LG to launch hybrid Blu-ray and HD DVD PC drive

The dual standard high definition player announced by LG at CES has had a lot of attention, but it does have a smaller brother also due out soon – the Super Multi Blue internal Blu-ray Disc Rewriter and HD DVD Rom drive.

Ces_07_lg_bd_pc_drive_cropped Like the BH100 Super Multi Blue Player, the GGW-H10N can also read both Blu-ray and HD DVD discs, as well as standard DVDs and CDs. It also, as the name suggests, writes to Blu-ray discs, although not to HD DVD discs.

It can write to a disc up to 50GB in size – holding nine hours of HD content or 23 hours at standard definition. LG claims its 4x write speed for Blu-ray discs is the fastest around.

Due out around March in the US – and shortly after that in the UK, it will cost around $1,199.
