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.
Pros: Performance, easy to use, Features/Settings, Quality
This blue ray player works great. The only down side, was that it needs to be hooked into an ethernet cable for all the updates, it does not have wifi. So we had to put this one down stairs in our basement where our router is and buy another one for upstairs. I guess that was my fault for not reading all the specs. Anyway, my kids stream netflix through it with ease.....great buy.
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.
Blue-Ray DVD device didn't have subtitle English from disk with CC. No matter device has setting for it but it was not working. I was very disappointed with it. I notice device is discontinued. It is not fair for me not able to view movie or film without closed captioning. Waste my money and angry.
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.
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.
