Excellent quality, East Setup

By Early Tech Adopter from Chicago, IL on 08/25/2009.

Describe Yourself:	Enthusiast
Cons:	Forgets Wifi, Forgets STOP
Best Uses:	Home Theater
Pros:	Netflix, Easy To Use, Consistent Performance, Youtube, High Quality Picture, Easy To Set Up

My first Blu Ray. Tried the Samsung but that one did not have a Co-Ax. I got this one which had the additional advantage of streaming Youtube which is simply fantastic 1) Setup was a breeze 2) Netflix was equally easy to setup - although I am surprised that it occassionally forgets the WEP code. Not everytime only sometime. 3) Netflix quality probably DVD like - but very acceptable 4) Unit a bit flimsy but given the remote you hardly ever touch the unit except to load discs. 5) Blu Ray quality is simply awesome - picture and sound. I am re-watching all old movies in Bluray after renting them from Netflix 6) Even with the Co-Ax I am having issues with true 5.1. I need to figure out why.

great wireless unit

Great full function player

By greggmck from Chapel Hill on 07/10/2009.

Cons:	Difficult To Use, Difficult To Set Up
Pros:	High Quality Picture, Attractive Design, Consistent Performance
Best Uses:	Home Theater
Describe Yourself:	Power User

Great DVD player at least the features are great if not easy to set up. The wireless networking was constantly complaining about congestion. I tracked this down to a problem in my router (Dlink D-655). Updated firmware of router to 1.31 and moved to a wired configuration. It now works great. Remote is garbage. Very poor design, not backlit or very usable. Recommend a universal remote as using the one that came with the player is a sure path to frustration. Looking forward to getting file streaming working....

Great blu-ray player!!!

By Don the Movie Fan from Los Angeles, CA on 06/22/2009.

Pros:	Consistent Performance, High Quality Picture, Attractive Design, Easy To Use, Easy To Set Up
Describe Yourself:	Enthusiast
Cons:	Inconsistent

Everything related to blu-ray is SUPERB! The only problem is with the highly inconsistent wifi connection (I haven't tried attaching via ethernet cable yet). In trying to test the connection, access YouTube, etc, I consistently get a "Network Congestion" error on the first or second try. Subsequent tries usually, work. This occurs regardless of the time of time, day of the week, etc. I'm waiting for a software update to patch this problem. Otherwise, this is a terrific, high quality player! They jsu tneed to work out the wifi issue.

Great product for the price, but it controls a limited number of TV brands. Great picture and features.

Great device for networked home theater

By Tomek from New York, NY on 05/26/2009.

Pros:	DLNA, Easy To Set Up
Best Uses:	Home Theater
Cons:	Poor Wifi Performance
Describe Yourself:	Power User

The device works well out of the box. It has relatively compact size, but is slightly larger that manufacturer lists. It works amazingly with playback of BluRay movies but also supports DivX/Xvid and other popular internet formats rather well. The problem comes with other "features." Wifi loves to forget WPA key upon restart so needs to be reentered everytime device is used. Also while it is working, it gets poor signal. My laptop at same location gets full signal. The solution was to run wires from router, now network capabilities are usable. Also youtube suffers from "network congestion" and can be rarely used. Last good note was DLNA client. I have a file server at home and LG streams movies and songs from that server. Very convenient.

What a Machine...well worth the money!

By JSK from Alexandria VA on 05/25/2009.

Pros:	Easy To Set Up, Consistent Performance, Easy To Use, High Quality Picture
Describe Yourself:	Enthusiast
Best Uses:	Home Theater

I watch Blu-Ray discs on it and its picture quality is superb. I also download Netflix films which I can watch immediately or watch YouTube streamed wirelessly over my home network. I also watch movies, listen to music and look at my digital pictures stored on my computer which serves as a server on the wireless network. Simply amazing!

Great features for the price.

By Herushan from USA on 05/25/2009.

Pros:	Easy To Set Up, Wireless N, Fast load times, Easy To Use, Attractive Design
Describe Yourself:	Enthusiast
Best Uses:	Home Theater, Home
Cons:	Low Codec support, Youtube not like PC

Built in wireless N works great and fast Blu-Ray load times are very nice.

Seems to be a nice product

By alo008 from Renton, Wa. on 05/24/2009.

Cons:	Couldn't get WiFi to work
Pros:	Easy To Set Up, High Quality Picture
Describe Yourself:	Enthusiast
Best Uses:	Home

In general, the picture and audio seems to be very nice. Although, some of my older dvd's, the picture was pixellated and the audio had some intermitten blank spots. I bought the LG BD390 because it was advertised as being able to watch YouTube and Netflix from your network connection. I can log in to my YouTube account but it is not possible to log in to my Netflix account. That option is not offered. I hope that it is remedied soon. I'm not interested in the CinemaNow option that is being offered instead of Netflix. I can't recommend this product yet because I'm still evaluating it. It depends on whether LG lives up to what is advertised for this product.

Great Blu-ray

By Fritz from San Francisco on 05/22/2009.

Describe Yourself:	Casual User
Pros:	Easy To Use, Easy To Set Up, Consistent Performance, Durable, High Quality Picture
Best Uses:	Home, Dorm Room, Home Theater

It plays every blu-ray I have tried from Netflix(rented) and purchased. All of them look great.... I was absolutely amazed at the quality of the Netflix picture I received thru my wireless Linksys system. The TV is at least 30 feet from the wireless signal and shows only two bars but the Netflix transmission never falters and is readily available for viewing. The picture quality from Netflix HD is equivalent to playing a Blu-ray disk on my 32 inch Samsung HDTV. I am no tech geek and am slightly fearful of my wireless and yet I was able to set up the internet connection and the Netflix connection by simply following the directions provided in the booklet that came with the player. It was very straightforward and the booklet gives you the information needed to do it, even if you are not a tech geek..... While this may cost a little more than some of the other Blu-rays out there, I think it is worth the money, especially if you already have a netflix account.....this is a 5 star product...

1st Blu Ray

By Phil from Nashville, TN on 05/9/2009.

Pros:	Easy To Set Up, Easy To Use, High Quality Picture, Consistent Performance
Describe Yourself:	Enthusiast
Best Uses:	Home Theater

This is my first Blu Ray player and I love it with one big disappointment though. When you stop a disc and then play it again without turning the power off or removing the disc it doesn't remember where you left off! The set up was a breeze, I use NetFlix and the quality is excellent.
