I love the netcast features of this player. There are two things that I think could be improved. The Netflix interface could use a search feature. It would be great to be able to search and add movies to the instant queue. Also, The Pandora player really needs a screen saver. Please, screen saver in the next update.
I had a BD-300 model that I loved but it didn't have all the features a lot of the newer players have. I love this Blue Ray player even more!! Funny thing is it was only about 1/3 the price of the BD-300 model. I Love all the new features this player has and I am very happy with my purchase.
Pros: Performance, Style/Design, easy to use, Features/Settings, Quality
Nice quality overall just as I expect from LG. Only complaints are with the disc tray. It is rather flimsy and I have difficulty removing a disc from it.
This was purchased just to see what was the difference between regular DVD and B-R. Although it was on a clearance sale, I was surprised at the realism of the B-R movies as compared to DVDs. At first I thought it was due to the new TV that was also purchased, but when I tried it on my older Sony Bravia, the difference was there for all to see. The LG player DID show a significant difference in the quality of the video both with B-R discs and with dvd's.
It was extremely easy to setup (I did use an HDMI cord). Only a few button pushes was needed to setup. And suddenly I was emerged into the world of Blueray.
My BD550 is connected to my network and has performed flawlessly since its installation. Highs: low cost, quality Blue Ray performance, quick start-up, Netflix, Pandora, YouTube, and user interface. Lows: dim display with small letters and hard to find front panel On/Off and dvd tray open switches.
