Consumer Electronics Reviews - Replace Your DVD Player With the LG BD570 Blu Ray Player
Parimal
,
I recently decided to replace my old Insignia Blu-Ray player with a more up to date model. After doing some research and comparing prices I decided on the LG BD570. I will admit that the main reason I chose it was because I was able to get a great deal on a used player where I can access my Netflix subscription. Overall I don't regret my decision.
Setup was very easy. I have a wireless setup in my home and was able to flawlessly use the one touch option on my router to connect. If you have this on your home router than you can rest assured it will work without any issues. If you have no other option than the manual setup shouldn't be a problem.
It's hard to say whether everyone will have the same result when they set everything up. All of the stars have to align and all the services have to be up and running at peak performance. I have a broadband connection so speed, clarity and accuracy is never an issue for me. For CinemaNow and Vudu they test your connection speed to determine what resolution is best to view a movie at. The test determined I could view a film at the highest resolution.
With regards to the ease of use it might take a little time for someone who isn't familiar with Blu-Ray to get use to. That isn't much of a complaint either because an advancement in technology requires a learning period. Navigation is easy but you should definitely read the manual and get familiar with the set up. I can picture everyone clicking on the "Movies" link hoping to find Netflix when they should be clicking NetCast.
As far as the look and design, it consists of a mostly black design. The glossy front panel flips down when you open the drive. The player is also very compact so it will not be taking up a lot of space. It fits perfectly with my home entertainment system and should be just fine when it comes to yours as well. There is also a USB port underneath the front panel. This would allow you to plug in a flash drive or external hard drive. All in all I'm very happy that the BD570 is a space saver.
My final verdict is that the BD570 is a strong Blu-Ray player with many options that suits the needs of many people. It is also very user-friendly. If you know how to hook up a DVD player and know how to hook up a wireless router than you should have zero problems.
