This review is from: LG BD590 250GB HD Network Blu-Ray Disc Player (Electronics)
This blu ray player has given my ps3 the break it needs. Its hooked into a very high def audio system and television. The built in net flix has been more use to me than I thought it would ever be. The accu weather built into it actually sets the background based on time of day and weather outside so you dont actually need to open the weather application. I haven’t been able to access the youtube online though it keeps timing out. I use the pandora every time I clean and it works flawless. The netflix and vudu have ran flawless on the wireless n setting. Its not hooked into the network via wires and all online applications run extremely fast. The remote does basic tv functions really all you need to do. The music and video id feature lets you pull up information on the movie and/or tv series your playing without going on imdb from your laptop. I have this hooked into a 65 inch tv and a 7.1 channel hd surround sound network and it runs at amazing quality. I am more than satisfied with this purchase. Although for some the HD might be necessary our home actually has a network music server and the BD590 access it without issues so Ive never really had to install much on the HD.
