LG Electronics has announced a new PC that will come equipped with an optical drive to read from both optical disc formats competing to become the standard for high definition video, HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc. The groups backing both formats, the HD DVD Promotions Group and the Blu-ray Disc Association, have declared victory already based on sales statistics for hardware or discs, but recent studies have shown victory is nowhere near.

The new LX97WH PC will allow the user to enjoy high definition experiences from both the formats and of course, will also play the standard DVD format. It is powered by an Intel Core 2 Duo processor and Nvidia Geforce 8 series video card. All of the technology comes packed into a 8.9cm-slim PC case.



Nod details were offered on when the new PC will be available, what other hardware it will boast or how much it will cost the consumer.
