I've tried the BD 370 and two Samsung players which are similarly priced to this unit, and this is definitely the best choice. It works remarkably fast and is very responsive. I have seen people complain about networking issues but I had none, even though I use Apple Airport Express to create my wireless network. The only trouble I had with set up is that I could not find a way to use capital letters when entering my network passcode. Once I changed my code to just lowercase and numbers, there wasn't a problem.
Streaming quality for Netflix is a little hit or miss. Generally, if it says the network connection is too slow I tell it to ignore that, and the network quality suddenly jumps to good. Don't know why that happens, but I haven't yet had any trouble watching a Netflix stream.
I use Playback as a third-party UPnP on my Mac to connect wierlessly to the BD player and have not had any trouble. It can play my home movies, show photos from iPhoto and play all of my mp3 music from iTunes. It has worked flawlessly, though the menu system and the playback options mean that I'm more likely to just play music over Airtunes directly from my computer since the workflow is much easier. Perhaps Apple should start creating BD player menus. . .
I have had one fairly major complaint which has so far applied to all Blu Ray players. I cannot get the sound to synchronize with the video. I use the digital output to go to my HT and HDMI to my Sanyo projector (video looks great at 103"). The video is consistently faster than than the audio, whether I'm playing SD DVDs, BDs or even Netflix. This appears to be a very common complaint in all of the forums I've visited trying to find a solution, but have yet to come up with one - Anyone with an idea I'd love to hear it!
Overall a great player - fast and easy to set up, works great with my Apple network and computers. Just need to sync audio and video.Get more detail about LG BD 390 Network Blu-ray Disc Player.
