        Comments about LG Network Black Blu-ray Disc Player:

        I only gave Overall 4 stars just because this is an older model that while wireless ready it needs to be plugged into the router. This has nice features and I appreciate the way this works. I never have a connectivity problem and rarely locks up. For the price it's a nice BD. Thanks LG you never let me down no matter what product it is.

            Comments about LG Network Black Blu-ray Disc Player:

            I received this as a gift. Ive used it for six months and the picture froze. Then it started kicking the dvd out and wouldnt play. I would unplug it and reset it and it would work for a few days. Then it just quit all together. I read reviews on other sites and everyone of them had the same problem I had.

                    Comments about LG Network Black Blu-ray Disc Player:

                    Over the past few years, I have had the pleasure of owning several Blue Ray DVD players. However, the LG BD550 has by far is the best the player have. Easy set up as well as easy functionality has made this device easy to use for my entire family. I also like how I can still receive software updates over the internet and it communicates with other LG products. For example: I currently have it hooked up to a LG TV, if the TV is off, this player will turn it on when i push the power button the player. Simply put, I am incredibly happy with this product.

                        I enjoy using the Blu-Ray drive, plus a few of the features I have accounts with like Netflix and Pandora. I've had no issues with it, regardless of the cable configurations. The updates are very quick too, given the FiOS speed internet I use.

                            Does everything as advertised. Can't beat the price for what you are getting. Netflix movies play perfectly. Had to do an update before it would play a blu ray disc which took about 15 minutes.

                                I was looking for a feature-rich but budget-friendly Blu-ray player a few months ago when I found this one. After checking reviews online and features in person, this turned out to be the clear winner. The only feature it doesn't have that I've come to want is an upgrade to NetCast that would add Amazon video; the only problem I've had is not being able to sign into Picasa (but I only have one photo posted there, so I don't really miss that!)

                                    Purchased this BD player because it was recommended by Consumer Reports. It’s easy to use and does a good job of upconverting SD DVDs. For less than $100, shipping included, you can’t go wrong, and it matches the style of my 50PK750!
