BD550

I purchased this BD player for my bedroom and have since moved it into my media room. It is extremely easy to use and has great picture quality. Unlike one of my other BD players it has never locked up or made any unusual noises. I would highly recommend this play for its exceptional quality and very reasonable price.
Pros: Performance, Style/Design, easy to use, Features/Settings, Quality
I would recommend this to a friend!

It took a while to figure out how to connect the Blu Ray player to my Network. But once connected, the speed and picture quality has been outstanding. Great player!
Pros: Style/Design, easy to use, Features/Settings, Quality
Cons: finding a nearby lan connection

Excellent Usability

I purchased an LD550 HDTV and said to myself my cable couldn't do it justice. So i purchased the BD550 Blu-Ray player by LG. I hooked up the network cable and HDMI cables, with the Blu-ray Avatar, and was like; omg. I was stunned at the performance of the TV and Blu-ray. The clarity was amazing. The ease of use was what caught my attention. With the Simplink, the TV recognized the Blu-ray right away and changed to the HDMI port without me even touching the TV remote. Yes, I love that. I become even lazier, hehe. At any extent the networking capability was great. The other draw back was the usb being in the front of the player. I would perfer the key to be in the a hidden compartment. It doesn't look good having the front bay open down. And it provides opportunity for breaking it if someone bumps into it. Also they should expand the onboard memory so that you can use the BD-Live features out of the box instead of having to use a usb flash drive. But overall this is still a great buy and deal.
Pros: Performance, Style/Design, easy to use, Features/Settings, Quality
Cons: usb port location
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great entry level player
on June 15, 2010

I have had this player for about 3 months now and am very satisfied with it. I purchased it mainly to instant view from Netflix, and am very happy with my purchase so far. I got this player instead of the next one up because I don't need wireless. It works just fine with my older TV, although it took a while to get the picture corrected (I'm stuck at the very lowest resolution the player can display; anything else results in a double picture). No problems, loads and plays quickly. I only wish that more network content was available, such as Hulu. I have two minor complaints: the Netflix interface doesn't allow you to search for a title directly, rather you can just look thru various lists. The other services have an alpha search option, but not the one I use most. The other irritation I have is that when starting up the picture looks wonky until the player fully loads all setup settings -- shaky, double picture -- but then it's fine once fully on. Style is good, and remote easy to use.
Pros: Performance, Style/Design, easy to use, Features/Settings

Great Blu-Ray player

I purchased this Blu-Ray player to replace an older Blu-Ray player that I owned. I picked this model because of its features and price and I have not been disappointed.
This player loads much faster than my previous model and I enjoy how easy it is to use. I purchased two more of these after using this model for a couple of weeks. The main thing my family and I use it for is to stream Netflix movies.
Pros: Performance, easy to use, Features/Settings, Quality

This product is loaded with tons of features, my favorite is Pandora and Netflix (really the only ones I use) and the connection is easy and I have had nothing but great experiences with LG. I did have an issue with a TV that was completely replaced without hassle ... Every TV and Disc player I buy from now on will be LG !!!
Pros: Performance, Style/Design, easy to use, Features/Settings, Quality
Cons: need to add an internet connection

This is my first Bluray player and now I see what the fuss is all about. Beautiful video, dvd upscaling is better than any dvd player or Xbox I have tried, crystal clear picture!!! Very easy to set up box and Netflix. Only wish would be having a different queue view. If you have a lot of movies in your queue it requires a lot of scrolling.
Great player and I love the simplink to my TV.

Excellent Value

This is an excellent entry level BD player as it has a lot of features for the low price. I used a CAT6 cable to connect to the network, took about 10 minutes to update a new firmware and everything works great so far including Netflix, Pandora. The BD disk loads much quicker than the Panasonic BD player which I returned after I purchased this LG player. The remote is very easy to use, never even used the manual as I was able to get everything to work within the first 15 minutes.
Pros: Performance, easy to use, Features/Settings, Quality
