Summary: This is truly awesome
Comment: If you have NetFlix and you want a blue-ray player, then you don't need to look any further. This thing is truly awesome. SO EASY to setup and get the Netflix running. It's a freaking snap. Just go for it!!

The blue-ray movies load MUCH faster compared to other blue-ray players I've seen (15-30 seconds instead of 1-2 minutes)

Summary: Good for Blue Ray Discs, not so good for Netflix
Comment: This product plays DVD's and Blue Ray Discs very well. When streaming movies from Netflix, however, the playback is not good enough. It stops many times when playing back. Just plugging my laptop to my TV does a better job than this product.

Summary: Good product, but should come with latest firmware
Comment: I would have given it 5 stars if the player would have come with the latest firmware. Updating via the network connection did not work, so I tried to update via the USB port which did not work either. Eventually I was able to get the firmware updated via CD. After that, updating via the network still did not work, nor did Netflix.

Product support was nice, but could not help. 'must be a security setting'. They promised to call me back in a few days.

One hour later, I found out that for some reason the DNS server in my network could not handle LG (it handles all other internet connections fine). After that I changed the DNS server, all worked fine and as expected.

Great picture and sound quality as well as intuitive menus. Some more network debugging information in the network settings would be useful and would have saved me (and LG) a lot of time.

Overall: nice product, would buy again.

Summary: Great combo
Comment: This LG unit is awesome. It is a terrific DVD and Blu-Ray player with all of the specs you could want including Profile 2.0 (BD-Live) at a reasonable price on Amazon. I am thrilled with the Netflix performance picture looks great, the controls a snap to use and I am saving a ton of money by renting DVDsand Blu-ray titles.

The player has a USB slot for loading photos or songs as well as BD-Live content. You need to have at least a 1 GB USB stick. You should also plan on buying an HDMI cable since the unit only comes with component cables.

My experience with LG has been so positive I plan to consider LG for future purchases along their entire product line.
