Customer Review: Excellent Bare Bones Blu-ray Player
Summary: 5 Stars
As the title implies, this is an excellent entry level Blu-ray player*; however, this is my first experience with a Blu-ray player, and as a college student, I wanted a brand name with a digestible price, and as for functionality, this player has thus far been up to the task.
Set-up was a breeze. Plug it in and enjoy. That's all there is to it.
As far as Blu-ray discs I've had the pleasure of viewing, I've seen Planet Earth, Hellboy 2 (boo!), Slumdog Millionaire, and Watchmen. And I must say that they all are fantastic, picture-wise, that is. But the one that takes the cake is Planet Earth - absolutely gorgeous. As for DVD upconversion with this player it has been solid. The DVD's that I have watched (too many to list) have had a noticeable facelift, albeit nothing in the realm of Blu-ray.
Sound, too, has been superb. Listening to the movies has been just as enjoyable as watching them. For someone that lacks the resources and space to acquire a proper sound system, this is important, but I suspect that that has more to do with the television rather than the player itself. Nonetheless, the sound has been fantastic.
With that said, some things do need to be pointed out for anyone considering this player. The first is that this player lacks any support for a component connection, so that leaves the user with two options: composite** input and HDMI input, and really, that is no option at all (watching Blu-ray with composite is like driving a car with square wheels, but I digress). I knew this beforehand so I knew what I was expecting going into the purchase and promptly ordered an HDMI cable along with the product at the date of purchase, but for anyone who is planning to use component with this player, note that it will essentially be worthless.
Another is that it does not include BD-Live or any other 'important' extraneous feature for that matter. As was the case in the preceding paragraph, this certainly was not a deal breaker, and in fact, it wasn't a consideration. For me, I just want a decent, reasonably-priced piece of technology that does what it was intended to do and to do it well. For some that want some bells and whistles attached to their BD-player, you may want to look elsewhere.
And lastly, the remote has a cheap feel to it. Certainly not a remote you want to step on or drop too many times (not that any of you would plan on doing so), but I can most certainly deal with it. One surprising thing with this remote was that it was able to control my TV (Vizio) without any configuration beforehand - not anything important but merely interesting.
For anyone who is looking for a reasonably priced Blu-ray player, one couldn't go wrong with this piece of equipment. Nice job, LG.
* - Setup is a VIZIO 26" 1080p Class LCD HDTV - Java (VL260M) (however, I'm in the process of acquiring an LG 32LH30 32-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV, Gloss Black and ridding myself of the Vizio) and a HDMI (2 meter) 6 foot cable HQ 1080P 1.3b.
** EDITED: Sorry, I had put s-video when I meant composite.
