LG BD 390 Network Blu-ray Disc Player Get it now!


Great player for Blu-Ray, DVD, and Netflix! The software could use some improvement, but I'm betting LG has learned a hard lesson and will avoid sending down a firmware update which breaks the player, as they did last year with the BD-300 (I may have stayed away from this one had I read the reviews for that player!).

I'll focus on the areas that need improvement:

1. YouTube feature is a time-waster unless you know words in the title of a specific clip (using the painful A-Z onscreen keyboard search interface) if you're not looking to watch the "most popular" content.

I hope a future software update introduces the ability to tag as favorite, access to subscriptions (with ability to subscribe), and "related" by specific author (e.g. when viewing a clip, selecting "more by the same author").

2. It would be nice to have access to other streaming video libraries such as Google video, Vimeo, etc. I'm hopeful that a future software update will bring additional sources.

3. The remote is poorly designed and the most commonly used buttons are small / not ergonomically placed.
