Buying LG BD 390 Network Blu-ray Disc Player


I started off researching at Amazon, buy.com and CNET. CNET's review was highly influential. I bought it because in addition to blu-ray and having built in wireless it replaces two other devices I had in my stereo cabinet, a Roku player and a D-link media streamer. My only concern buying it was that I would have to install the Nero software on my PC. I like using windows media server which the D-link could use so I can use my playlists. After the initial setup I went into My Media it found my windows server and it works great - no nero! The only slight issue I had was that it didn't play well with my Trendnet wireless-g router. It connected fine, but had a bottle neck and the Netflix quality wasn't as good as it should have been. Fixed that with a Belkin Wireless N+ 802.11n Router (Black). Last minor complaint is the remote does have to be pointed directly at the unit. I do need to try using a quality battery instead of the cheap one that ships with it, but so far no complaints about the range.

The boot time is fine and is a lot faster than my brother's old sony. I really like the up conversion on regular DVDs; didn't think it would make that much of a difference, but it does. It closing it is a great looking unit, very user friendly, intuitive and worth every penny. [...]Get more detail about LG BD 390 Network Blu-ray Disc Player.
