LG BD 390 Network Blu-ray Disc Player Review


I purchased the BD-390 after a failed foray into the world of the Samsung BD-P3600. Following several attempts to watch the Watchmen (sorry, I couldn't resist) and many phone calls to Samsung support met with ambivalent promises of a firmware upgrade once the Samsung gods decided to bequeath it unto us, I had had enough.

That established, I wish I had gotten the LG BD-390 to begin with. I feel like the girl who lost her virginity to the tuba player in the band one night and scored with the captain of the football team the next. You never forget your first Blu-Ray experience, either.

This player is everything it promises to be. With great load times (my wife didn't know load times with Blu-Rays had ever been an issue until I commented on it) and extremely low noise levels, the Blu-Ray experience leaves nothing to be desired.

The obvious comparison point for every stand-alone Blu-Ray is the PS3, and for me the streaming Netflix movies offer an incomparable advantage over that gaming system. Going through the BUILT-IN WiFi connection, I have had absolutely no issue with streaming HD content from Netflix over my cable broadband. To be honest, I never really expected this to work as advertised -- so imagine my elation when I flipped on 30 Rock only to find every wrinkle in Alec Baldwin's face smiling back at me.

Best of all, LG is really on top of their stuff, and the firmware upgrades seem to be flowing very smoothly down the pipeline. Blu-Ray is obviously a continuously-advancing technology, so I am happy to be on board with a company dedicated to staying up to speed.
