I bought LG BD390 over Samsung 3600 seeing the reviews here. So far, I have only used Youtube/Netflix streaming and DVD/CD playing (no blu-ray). Wireless connected without a problem and the interface is intuitive (though many times its confusing why certain things in remote dont work in streaming modes).
The biggest problem I am having right now is with the player cropping top and bottom parts of a movie when streamed through netflix. I have connected my Panasonic 720p plasma to the bluray using component cables and setup the player accordingly. The only way to get the complete picture after lot of trial and error seems to be (1) set the resolution to Auto instead of 720p; (2) set the aspect ratio to 4:3 letterbox (even though I have a 16:9 HDTV!). This is strange and it seems it will be a trial and error for every video source.
I called up LG support and the guy was just plain incompetent. He did not have much clue about 4:3 or 16:9 or my problem. He just kept saying that something must be wrong with the player and take it to the repair shop.
I will try the HDMI cable soon and if the problem persists, I would rather return the player, given the horrendous experience with their technical support. Get more detail about LG BD 390 Network Blu-ray Disc Player.
