It was easy to set up and and get started. It has a nice slim profile without a bunch of glaring lights. So far it's working fine. All-in-all a good purchase.

Was easy to install and the picture quality is awesome! We appreciae how thin the design is for our cabinet space. Some DVD's that had problems playing in my older player have no problem playing in this player. Greaqt buy for the money and satisfied that a 2 year warranty was offered with the product.
What's great about it: Great Picture Quality

For the price it can't be beat! It took 6 minutes to go from in the box to playing a DVD in 1080P. Powers up fast draw opens quick, Loads te DVD fast. lots of outputs including HDMI. I have not had a DVD it won't play and a couple of them are pretty scratched up. They wouldn't play on my Sony.
What's great about it: Very Slim, Fast loading times, Super fast forward and rewind. I love HDMI
What's not so great: No pause on the front with the other buttons you have to use the remote
I would recommend this to a friend!

Recently I purchased a Yamaha HDMI reciever, thinking that's what I needed to keep up with the latest A/V advances. Then I discovered this little DVD player with digital optical audio out. This works perfectly with my older HK receiver, so,needless to say, I took the 500$ receiver back, invested 92 bucks in this player, and I now have great audio (with the optical out going through the HK) and video (through upconversion straight to the tv)! Also, as someone noted, you can connect an external hard drive to the USB port and play movies that way, I haven't tried yet, but you can bet I will! (I've only owned it a week so please keep that in mind).
What's great about it: Easy setup, digital optical audio out!
I would recommend this to a friend!

this dvd player replaced an Emerson DVD/VCR combo that is over 6 years old and still works. I can't believe that an Emerson can last over 6 years and an LG is only good for 8 months. i will be taking the Emerson out of the garage and hooking it back up.
What's great about it: when it works everything
What's not so great: crapped out in 8 months
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I am very disappointed in this product, i play 2 or so dvd in a week, very few at that. i never left it on and turned it off when i was finished, and less than a year later the dvd player which was keep in excellent conditon decided to not play dvds or anything for that matter, tried cleaning it and not worked, it wasnt dirty, it just has some mechanical issues. Stay away and spend you money on another product.
What's great about it: NOTHING
What's not so great: I had this dvd player for less than a year and it died on me..wasted 88 dollars on a this and wont last more than a year

I watch a dvd about every week or so. I purchased this player 13 months ago. Safe to say I watched 25-30 movies. It no longer works. It isn't dirty, not kept in the open dusty area, and it has never been mistreated. I did not buy extended warranty because I thought it's a LG........
What's great about it: Worked well with my Plasma
What's not so great: Stopped working in month 13 of owning. Only used for 1 movie every week or so.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I love this player, I also hooked an external hard drive to mine via the USB port.
now I have tons of movies on it available with a push of a button.
only problem doing this, if your thinking about doing it, make sure you format your HD to Fat32 as it will not work with NTFS file system.
would be nice if the usb port was on the back though, but I guess it's on the front because most people use flash drives with it.
What's not so great: Sweet and easy setup
I would recommend this to a friend!

This DVD player is one of the most easiest to set up you can do it the old way with the cable with the 3 plugs or the easy way with the newer TV's with the HDMI cable. The picture quality is great. this DVD also plays the ones that are made on computers! Get this DVD player while it last and before they finally force everyone to go to blue ray. I own this DVD player and the LG name is of great quality, I own allot of older LG products and they have lasted allot longer then other brands. This if you want to pay more for another brand go ahead and pay for their name, if you want the same quality then this is the brand player to get and LG products last longer and work longer.
What's great about it: So simple to set up even a caveman can do it!
What's not so great: There is nothing that bad
I would recommend this to a friend!

This LG DVD player is outstanding. I wanted a good, cheap device for playing DVDs. This fits the bill and has the bonus of playing from usb connected mass storage. That feature makes this worth buying 2 more for my other TVs. I have a friend on his way after work to pick one up as well.
What's great about it: USB Port
What's not so great: Directions for using remote to move between file types on SUB drive

This DVD player does the trick. Nice upconversion for a good picture. Optical output is a huge bonus. Plays almost any type of format or disk you throw at it. The player itself is a good size...not too bulky.
What's great about it: Nice picture, large variety of playback

This DVD player is awesome. It recognizes most file types via data CD/DVD or USB stick interface. Picture is great, sound is great. Buy it. Buy two of them. It seems at least as good as the OPPO that I paid double what this LG cost. The tray is a little flimsy, so just be careful with it and you should be fine.
