Great player

Easy to install and use. Had to buy the internet wireless modem to connect with my wireless hub instead of the player already having it as a feature.
Connects fine to my hub and internet features are easy to use. Would recommend to others as a lower cost unit but would buy the model that has wireless already built in the next time

This is my first Blue Ray player. Not only is it easy to setup, but the options are many. I love the Network access. Not only can you access these widgets, but the automatic firmware updates makes sure your unit stays right up to date. A nice touch.
Pros: Performance, Features/Settings, Quality, Style/Design

BD550 Review

Great Blu ray player for money. Very easy to use. I use the player mainly for steaming video via Netflix. Setup for this was a matter of minutes. Enjoy the fact that you can browse Netflix without using a PC.
Pros: Performance, Features/Settings, Quality, Style/Design, easy to use, netflix interface
I would recommend this to a friend!

I connected my blu ray player with an HDMI cable to my LG LCD TV, a very simple and easy set up. When the player turns on, my LG TV automically switches input to HDMI. The player automatically converts wide-screen video to full screen, a somewhat pleasant surprise. When watching standard definition dvd's, the picture looks better than it does on my other non-blu ray players. The only thing I don't like is when selecting chapters, while the dvd is already playing, I can't use the numerical buttons on the remote to select scenes. For example, if I want to watch the sixth clip on a video, I can't push the '6' button on the blu ray player remote. Instead, I have to use the skip functions on the remote. Other than that, I've been very impressed.
Pros: Style/Design, easy to use
I would recommend this to a friend!

all in all a solid player. some basic improvements that would be nice: backside usb connection or a mem card slot. that way you wouldn't have to leave the front panel down to use the bd live and other features that require additional memory.
Pros: Performance, Quality

Great, but needs a few minor tweaks!

Overall I'm pretty happy with this product. It's easy to use and setup. The following are some minor tweaks that would have made it perfect:
1) I have an LG 42" LCD TV; however the bluray remote only allows for channel up/down on the TV - why can't I use the keypad on the remote to navigate channels on the TV?
2) Having a network jack on the back, i kind of assumed this player would be able to receive a video signal over the network from a standard A/V server and/or be able to browse network file shares. For the price, this should be an included feature and should be made available via a software update!
3) In 1080p the bluray menu with it's cubes under water theme is a bit laggy (tolerable, but laggy).
4) Where is HULU support? Also, there should be more integration with other video sites (Fox/ABC/NBC/CBS/CNN/Metacafe, etc.)
5) It's price point should be under $200.
Pros: Performance, Features/Settings, easy to use, software is updated regularly
