just ok September 3, 2010 D. Schmedlin (Monroe, CT United States) I purchased this player a year ago price was good, plays dvd's but not blu-ray discs. I'm not hooked up to internet. I'm sure a need a firmware update, I called LG for help, guess what, no help at all, asked to send a disc, no disc, it has been 2 months now so I'm in the market for a new player, I have a Samsung LN46B650, any suggestions for a new BD player will be helpful, not into netflix just want something that will play blu-ray discs. Bottom line buy another BD player. Don't waste your money.
great christmas gift September 1, 2010 Benjones Great gift for my dad for Christmas. It is a little light on the features, but it is still good.
Piece of junk; Blu-ray technology is flawed August 26, 2010 Mathias S. It's incredible the amount of aggravation I get from being all excited when a new movie comes out, bringing it home, unwrapping the plastic, and putting it in my blu ray player, so I can watch it recognize the disc, start to load, and then just sit there. And not play the movie. I would give it more stars for picture and sound quality, but it would have to play the discs first. I have the most current firmware, and even if a movie plays, it loses audio sync partway through the movie, and it's like I'm watching a 70's kung fu movie. Not exactly the high definition experience they advertise.
Part of this is LG's fault, for making a crappy player, and some of it is blu ray for crippling the discs with copyright protection that make all the firmware updates a necessity. They need to have the firmware roll out to the players first, then the movies. This is BS that I have to wait until LG gets around to writing the new firmware, so that I can watch the movies I've already purchased.
I'm just going to start pirating the movies and streaming them from my HTPC.
worked great....at first August 25, 2010 Christine Barclay (trenton, nj United States) I bought this player in nov 09 and it worked great at first. about 8 months after purchase the unit began over heating and freezing alot. progressively it stopped working all together. I downloaded the updates and installed them . Unfortunately this did not help. LG offers a one year warranty on parts alone. the labor warranty is only 90 days. When I called them about the repairs i was told i would be charged 70 dollars to repair the unit. at that point i figured what is the point of the warranty then?! I did nothing to make this unit malfunction. the rep said she would try to get the labor fee waived but could not guarantee anything. At this point I would rather buy another unit that wont die after 8 months than pay more money for something that may break again in 8 months .
Worked great for 6 months... August 15, 2010 Coyote We were very pleased with this player until it stopped reading blu-ray discs. If you're super lucky you can get it to read one, but mostly it just makes a funny noise and says "disc error".
