LG BD 570 (BD570)

A solid dvd/bluray player with wifi

I bought this specific model after much research into the Bluray players with built in network access. I specifically wanted to use this in order to stream Netflix to our TV in the living room without running any cables. I was skeptical about using the Wifi to stream movies but after months of use I have never once seen any loss of picture quality and the movies never have to stop to buffer or load the next scenes. I have also used this device with regular DVD movies as well as bluray disks and have had no issues. All in all a great device that fills a specific need very well.

Outstanding Product and a great buying experience

6 months ago I bought my LG BD 570 player from Sonic after doing some pricing research and product reviews online. I had not originally heard of Sonic Electronix, but after reading a number of reviews about it I decided to give it a try. I was very impressed. Price was outstanding. Shipping was VERY fast. And I have absolutely loved my new LG Blu-ray. I'm happy to come back here for any of my electronic needs now and I have already recommended the site to some friends who were shopping for new blu-ray players.

The LG BD 570 itself is a very solid player. It is now about 6 months old and there may be newer models but I have not had a single playback issue with it. My picture is clean, and the playback is seemless. I have had some issues with some scratched DVD discs from Netflix, however cleaning them off usually fixed the issue. The load time for a new disc is acceptable and the software update feature, while slow to load if the patch is big, has worked each time without a hiccup.

Strongly recommend this player.

Great price performance, simple and versatile

I have enjoyed this product from day one (I have had it for 6 months). The product has performed as advertised, and performed well. The Bluray/DVD disc performance, has played everything. The NetFlix streaming, flawless (standard definition only). PC streaming/DLNA has been outstanding. I have connected both wired and wirelessly. I maintain a wired connection due to the bitrate associated with some of the bluray content being streamed to maintain a constant, smooth picture quality. Also, it is rare that a video/audio format is not recognized and played (.avi, .mkv, AC3, DTS, etc.). LG continues to do a nice job in sending out regular updates to the firmware and or software. However, customer support at LG needs to come along in the area of networking.
What I like most about the BD570 is that it is simple to use, all aspects, and for the entire family. You can have the power of an HTPC behind the scenes, but with a user-friendly remote control that everyone will appreciate for DVD, Bluray, NetFlix and PC streaming playback.
Compared to the BD390 (its predecessor), the controls are better positioned (disc tray open/close on the side it should be), although I'm not a big fan of the full frontal door( I liked the BD390 design better). Also, the chassis of the BD570 vs. the BD390 is smaller and appears more flimsy than the BD390. Repair history on the BD570 much better though. I have not had any problems!

Satisfaction

Works well and provides the internet connections desired.

Love it!

I have really enjoyed having one player for my dvds, blue ray and netflix online. I also access the movies on my computer as easily as this makes it.

Great Deal!

This unit has functioned flawlessly and I couldn't find a better deal anywhere. THX

Good Addition to Home Theater

This Blu-Ray player does everything I wanted it to do. It playes my older DVDs and is very good playing Blu-Rays. I don't use the apps that much but they are easy to access and the wreless connection was very easy to set up.

Great value

I would recommend this Blu-Ray player to anyone. The Internet connection has been most enjoyable. The only negative so far has nothing to do with the product. The Netcast sometimes will not open; however that does not happen often. Sometimes just giving it a few minutes and trying again is all that it takes. Overall, no complaints.

Good Product

No issue with the player. Software update was smooth.

Performs as Expected

Used primarily for internet movie downloads. Basically has performed as expected. Some delays for buffering of movies, but this is probably due to internet issues, not the BD570. Generally pleased
