  • Fantastic but a bit pricey should be price at $300, March 13, 2010

    LG has made a great product and it has slow mo for blu-ray disc. To many that may not see like anything special but my other 2 (Sony BDP-BX1 and Samsung BDP-1590) blu-ray players do not have this feature for any type of disc being played. Overall the unit does everything very well to excellent. The speed loading of blu-ray is not more impressive than that of my almsot 2 year old sony blu-ray but still fast enough for me.

    Internet connections were a breeze via wired or wireless though I wished it would retain the wireless setting (SSID and passwords)when you switch to a wired setting. The online offerings are very impressive and all work: Google’s Picasa; YouTube; AccuWeather; Netflix with a free trial offer; CinemaNow; VUDU with one free rental; and PANDORA. I hope they add more apps with software/firmware updates.

    The remote is large, easy to hold and has all the buttons needed to use all the features of the unit and also will in my case control the most basic of functions of my TV: power and volume.

    Having the large 250GB HD is a luxury but not a necessity as the front USB port can be used to access an external HD at a excellent speed. So you could really save about a $100 by buying the identical BD570 less the HD. I like the luxury, lol.

    I do not like the front panel having a flip down panel that always drops down to insert/eject a disc but not too much of an issue. The flip door becomes an issue when you need to insert a USB stick or cable then the door has to remain down. In addition when they designed these new LG units they should have added an additional USB port in the rear.

    But that is all I can find fault with the unit. They are not too small but small enough and very light even with the HD and the remote and internet access are all great. Picture quality is fantastic with blu-ray and same for non-blu ray disc. The fact that you can actually insert a CD and rip it to your HD is nothing short of omg what a nice feature.

    I have placed my entire music and picture collection onto the HD and it is sweet to be able to get such easy access to these files. The link to my Laptop PC files works even without having to use the LG software for sharing files bewteen PC/Laptop and the player and that too is a nice feature to have available.

    The unit works and works great! I would recommend it highly to any or to save money the BD570 and then hook up an external HD. Love the unit. My biggest knock is the price given that 3D Blu-ray players are just around the corner it seems this unit would be better priced at or below $300.

  • Excellent Blu-Ray Player with a wide array of internet entertainment options, February 27, 2010

    • By Peter Singh (New York, NY)

    I purchased the BD590 from Best Buy a couple of days after it first appeared in stock. I have had some experience with LG Bluray before since I own the also excellent BD390 so when I needed another one for a different room in the house the newer model LG was at the top of my list.

    Having owned it for a few weeks I have the following to note.

    Pros

    1. Fast Blu-Ray loading times. Very crisp clear image and fortunately since I own a receiver capable of decoding Lossless HD formats I really like the sound as well. Does the Blu ray format justice
    2, My favorite aspect of this and the BD 390 by far is the VUDU functionality. I think Vudu is a tremendous service (perhaps will get even better now that’s its been purchased by Wal-Mart). To have a large library of 1080p HD available at your fingertips is fantastic and the LG does a nice job displaying very pleasing audio and video off Vudu. I would buy this for this feature alone.
    3, Although no shortage of Netflix ready devices in my HT lineup having this and other internet sources such as Pandora are nice options.
    4. I read some complaints about the new interface compared to the older LGs but to my eyes its nicer looking and just as easy to navigate
    5. I used Ethernet to connect this player but did test out the 802.11n and was able to connect to my Airport Extreme powered network with no problems
    6. CD ripping is a great feature and I was able to archive a library of 200 CDs or so with little trouble. Gracenote does a nice job tagging the tracks.

    Cons
    I really didn’t find much not to like about this player. Mostly just nice to haves. I would have liked if it supported Amazon VOD since that’s my other source for video and I did think that the footprint was still a little large although sleeker and lighter that my older model.

    I first lucked into the BD390 when it was highly recommended by a HT installer. I am pleased to note that the 590 is a nice upgrade with newer functionality on an old favorite. Highly recommended.
