From a Techno-dummy for setting up netflix, you-tube interface, etc. July 30, 2010 L. Gies (Green Bay Wisconsin USA) Very easy to set up, paired with a Toshiba 47" HD flat screen TV also purchased at Amazon earlier this spring. Picture quality very good,
like the features of count time, pausing , still, etc. Even with older movies, shows converted to HD, the quality is great. I would recommend
this product to the consumer who wants ease of operation, but that even tech challenged older people c an use.
LG BD570 is awesome!! July 28, 2010 John J. Bruggemann (New York City) I did a lot of research on Blu-ray players, and narrowed my search down to Sony, Samsung and LG. The LG BD570 was a great value, plus no tax and free shipping made it that much more appealing.
Let me start by saying I am not very advanced when it comes to technology. I can get by, but I read a lot and ask those who know more than me a lot of questions.
My player arrived today and I set up the wireless connection in less than 10 minutes, and that includes opening the NetFlix account. The wireless feature was a must- I would not consider a player without this feature. I had read some reviews that complained about complications setting up the wireless connection. I had no such problems. I plugged in the player, attached the HDMI wires to my receiver and followed the SIMPLE onscreen instructions. If I can do it, anyone can. I also tested my Pandora account, and the music came through my speakers quickly and clearly. Watching YouTube videos on my TV is amazing.
I immediately streamed several movies and TV shows. The unit uploaded them quickly and the quality of both the sound and picture is excellent.
I inserted a DVD (Springsteen Live in London). It seemed to look and sound a bit better than my DVD player did. In any event, it worked perfectly.
I do not have a Blu-ray disk- that will be my final test.
Bottom line, the LG offers a full range of features- wireless being the most important- and excellent quality, all for a very reasonable price.
I will update my review in a few weeks and hopefully my comments will be as positive as they are today.
Stellar performer July 27, 2010 whitetiger The no 1 feature of the player is its homelink thingy. It recognized all the drives connected to the seagate network adapter. and played all the various video formats.
Bru Ray looks very stunning, this is my first Blue Ray player, so cannot compare, but am really impressed with the upgrade.
The regular DVDs looks a little bit better, so the upconvert is just OK.
The Netcast feature is OK, am not able to successfully run the Vudu or the raxio streamnow services, however the Netflix movies played very nice.
Just have had the player for a week now, will update the review after a few more weeks.
Very Pleased July 25, 2010 T. Fisher I'm very happy with everything about this player. I connected it with a cat6 cable directly to my home internet, so I haven't used the wifi. We love to watch the streaming movies and TV from Netflix. The extra feature of looking at our photo libraries on Picasa is cool too. Blu ray movies look beautiful.
A snap to set up and great pic quality July 23, 2010 Dr. Chamberlain (Newtown, PA USA) I have been putting off buying until now - should have done it before. Streaming netflix and pandora 10 minutes after opening box. pic quality is great!
