I'd buy a second generation Universal player and I don't mind the idea of a hybrid HDDVD/BD disc. ]]>Jan 4th 2007 1:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/04/surprise-lg-to-debut-dual-format-blu-ray-and-hd-dvd-player-at-ces/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/04/surprise-lg-to-debut-dual-format-blu-ray-and-hd-dvd-player-at-ces/Jan 5th 2007 12:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/04/surprise-lg-to-debut-dual-format-blu-ray-and-hd-dvd-player-at-ces/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/04/surprise-lg-to-debut-dual-format-blu-ray-and-hd-dvd-player-at-ces/Jan 5th 2007 2:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/04/surprise-lg-to-debut-dual-format-blu-ray-and-hd-dvd-player-at-ces/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/04/surprise-lg-to-debut-dual-format-blu-ray-and-hd-dvd-player-at-ces/
Looks like HD DVD stand-alone units will still be the most popular. The WSJournal article stated that to date, only 15,000 Blu-ray stand-alone players have been sold, vs. around 80,000 HD-DVD stand-alone players (includes XBox 360 $199 add-on drive).

PS3 units (over 200,000 sold to date) are primarily used for game software (not Blu-ray movies), although Sony hopes this will change, looking to see more Blu-ray movie discs being purchased in '07.]]>Jan 5th 2007 1:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/04/surprise-lg-to-debut-dual-format-blu-ray-and-hd-dvd-player-at-ces/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/04/surprise-lg-to-debut-dual-format-blu-ray-and-hd-dvd-player-at-ces/
I personally think this should have read
"Mainly due to Blue-Ray licensing costs"

IMO, Sony's BR has more to lose than the HD-DVD camp with the arrival of a combo player (most corporate/media interest), so why not 'stick it' to anyone supporting a combo player in the form of mandating the highest licensing costs possible. Just my theory.]]>Jan 6th 2007 1:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/04/surprise-lg-to-debut-dual-format-blu-ray-and-hd-dvd-player-at-ces/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/04/surprise-lg-to-debut-dual-format-blu-ray-and-hd-dvd-player-at-ces/
The operating manual for the LG advises that the resolution of the pc should be set to 1024 x 768 60Hz, but when I do that, no picture is displayed. The only resolution that displays on the plasma is 640 x 480. Any other resolution results in a blank screen.

How can I overcome this?

The video card in the HP is an ATI RADEON XPRESS 200M Series.
