LG Black 3D Blu-Ray Disc Player - BX580

Comments about LG Black 3D Blu-Ray Disc Player:

I purchased this on recommendation of a friend. Both of us have been disappointed by the lack of support and programming updates. In the long-term competition for internet & video streaming, manufacturers need to shift their model from "sell it and forget it (or just do auto upgrades)" to one where (possibly for a small fee) firmware/software is upgraded and added to regularly. The failure to upgrade Netcast applications is a real negative for this product.

The connection to the internet makes this product worth having ever.

Great! Only issue would be size of remote control. It was different than either of my LG TVs. I would think all would use the same for consistency.

I'm very happy with the quality and features for the price I paid. Entering data/passwords for WiFi and Netflix is a bit tedious but you only have to do it once or twice until your up and running. Picture quality is great except for Netflix streaming. But that is a Netflix issue, not LG. Once WiFi is up the LG firmware can be updated through it. That is a very nice feature because it keeps your machine up to date on DVD formats and encryption, which should keep the BX580 from going obsolete quickly. The unit boots up much faster than my prior player. One minor gripe - A power switch on the front would be nice for when the unit is stacked in a cabinet. Also, I have never had a cell phone other than LG and never had a problem with them.

Beware!!!! This player does not play any DVD outside Region Code "ALL". Although the settings allows you to choose region code though a drop-down, it has absolutely no effect.

Came as part of a TV package. Like the home networking capabilities. Integrates well with the 3D TV.

Never understood all the hype over blu ray. I was given the bx580 as a present and I am amazed at the difference. I have several LG products from mobile phones to microwave and am very impressed with the quality. On the blu ray player if you have the accu-weather feature enabled when you go to the Netcast function the background mimics the actual conditions outside. Like if its cloudy the background is cloudy, At night the lights come on in the buildings. Is this required, Probably not but shows the level of detail put into these products!

The quality for the price is excellent with this handsome unit. I have no immediate need for 3D, but the price allowed me to purchase a player with this feature so I'll be ready for a future 3D TV upgrade. I have a secure wireless network in my home and Wifi was the main attraction of this unit. Blu-Ray disks look fabulous. Netflix and other online video works smoothly. I have had some problems with the unit connecting consistently with my wireless network. It will connect flawlessly for days and then not connect, requiring me to retype my rather lengthy WEP password. Then it will connect well for several more days. Online software update of the new unit took quite a while and took a couple of tries to get the download to complete. This may be more the fault of my network All said I would definitely buy it again. As a matter of fact I bought the non -3D version of this player, the BX570, for the bedroom TV.
