Newegg Product Review - LG BD390 Network Blu-Ray Disc Player

[GRiZLOC]

The best way to connect a Blu-ray Disc player with a 1080p Full HD TV is with high speed HDMI cable also known as HDMI 1.4 cable. You really don't need an expensive cable. Just buy a reasonably priced cable and your good to go. Also i really lobe Blu-ray Disc players. I own 2 PS3 Slim's 120GB HDD and Pioneer Blu ray Disc players model BDP 430 and BDP-LX55. I just LOVE BLU RAY !!!

Wow! you look like Curly from the 3 Stooges. I like the 3 Stooges. : )

[michaelofpetaluma]

I love the outtakes at the end ! Very clever !

[ryanonpiano]

I am wanting to buy this but I use a Panasonic camcorder which records in AVCHD and files are I.MTS and what I read is this machine will not play them, can anyone confirm this?

People keep saying just use VLC player but does this machine come with vlc player built in.

Thanks

[Robodino1]

How much better is this than the Playstation 3?

[1udacri5]

[FMH2011]

[TAkEdA31]

can the LG BD390 play standard dvds with the updates? ive heard of problems of not being able to play dvds.

[KrismanGoogle]

I thought this player could also stream video over a home network without having to use a USB drive plugged straight in?

[crycfos]

LG BD390 this Blu-ray player can NTFS, MKV files over USB port. Buy and have fun with them. Very Good Blu-ray player! 5 Stars

[jazzfan30329]

Nice review. Trying to make up my mind which blu-ray player to buy and this was very helpful.  I like how you opened the box for a thorough walk-thru. Thanks.

[paper000000]

Would like to have seen more of what the quality is like when streaming from Netflix.

[JerryKadavil]

2:01: bad cam focus bro!

[zorkpl]

can this play MKV files ??? from network ... ???

can read USB format NTFS ???

can open YouTube HD files from the site like &fmt=22 and &fmt=37 (1080p) ???

More details

[isasum]

did you say 4 gig internal memory? whats that for?

[amilldevil107]

just one gigabyte of system memory (i think RAM) helps with load times.

[JerryKadavil]

he said 1gb

[kcballroom]

No HDMI cable included? WTF LG?! Here is a suggestion LG: Pair with Monoprice they will supply you with cheap HDMI cable so we, consumers don't have to buy what had to be in a box in the first place.

[Dizzie71]

1. Can it stream mediafiles from a Nas e.g Netgear Readynas or Qnap 209?( In particular MKV-files)

2. Can it play ISO/IMG files?

[clith]

Excellent player. Plays video over your home network, can play HD MKV files and HD DivX.

Does not handle VOB directories, but can play individual VOB files.

[Sjrick]

First off, who shot this awful video ? The audio really sucks. Plus the shot of the player from behind is blurry and no attempts were made to fix it. Newegg is such a great company , i cant believe they would allow a piece of crap like this to represent them.

[pavXX]

any decent internet radio players yet? or are we stuck with the "squeeze-my-wallet box"?

[MGR1900]

If you are referring to the Logitech Squeezebox Boom, it's a very decent internet radio. If you're too cheap to shell out $250 bucks for a pretty impressive piece of technology, then that's your problem, not the Squeezebox Boom's.

[drakar7002]

could someone check and see if the player plays the Sita Sings the Blues AVCHD disk posted (as a torrent) on the film's official website? the PS3 and the Panasonic players can, i'd just like to have more players to add to the list.

[ManuelDr]

Great review looking forward to see more! SUBSCRIBED!!!! Newegg FTW!!!

[betocool]

OMG it plays MKV. files

So gonna get this

[hamdeer]

can it play off NAS or an external?

[wilmeriscool]

you should have used a capture card good video player btw

[obiewancoyote]

So how's the player handle encrypted wireless streams. Is 802.11G suitable?

[newegg]

The player can handle several different wireless encryption standards; we weren't able to test them all but the commonly-used WEP, WPA and WPA2 versions are supported with various configurations. 802.11G is suitable for most streaming, but if you're planning to do a lot of high-def (1080) content you'll probably want 802.11N.

[drubah33]

i want one!!

[xNEHALEMx]

o yea

[RDJim]

FOCUS!

[Lucario1211]

Another amazing feature is that it blends in with the green screen. I want it, my PS3 can't do that!

[newegg]

hehe

[marquesbrownlee]

Looks very nice!

[thatguysvlog]

Can it connect to your home network and play shared video files? That would be nice.

[danthman2000]

Focus much?

[newegg]

Unfortunately, close-ups and the ability to manually focus aren't the strong points of the Flip HD's that we're currently using to film. We're getting a better camera to film with soon that should let us do nice, crisp close-ups.

[danthman2000]

Good to know about the Flip. I was contemplating getting one, maybe I'll keep looking!

[newegg]

We've actually been really impressed with the image quality we've gotten from the Flips, and they're extremely portable -- ideal for run-n-gun shooting and taking on location. For the product reviews though, we'll be using a camera that can shoot more detailed close-ups.

[CargoVanMcGee]

should just get a PS3 its waaaayyy better than this sucka.

[hanzerdhotmailcom]

Yeah, or a nice ION HTPC.

[jl2un]

Can you stream movie from your computer to LG BD390 Network. like the ps3

[lordquasar]

I need to get this for my dad.

[czukoman202]

I missed the price.. you might have said it, but Idk

[NB5BHVL]

Not sure if you got it or not but it's $299.95 was $379.95.Just in case you missed it

[terryweb]

Nice review! I want one. =)
