Consumer review (newegg.com)

Great while it lasted, lol!

When I bought it, it was on a deep discount. Whatever it actually was it was WAY cheaper at the time like almost half off so I bought it on impulse. To be honest I would recommend it IF it is on sale, otherwise you might end up with just a streaming...

Worked fantastically for the first 4-6 months ; Netflix and other apps worked perfectly ; Easy to setup ; Really slim, fits easily just about anywhere

Stopped playing blu-ray discs but would still play DVD's after about 6 months into owning it, however it still streams to this day like a champ

Excellent, with some little issues

I haven't used any of the wireless features aside from the Firmware Update tool, but that was smooth and easy to do for the one update that's been available so far. Unfortunately, you can't remove items from the initial menu, so I always get those...

It plays Blu-Rays, it plays DVDs, it plays AVIs, it plays MKVs. It's pretty sleek, pretty small, and pretty cheap. All in all, a good buy for home entertainment

The USB input CAN NOT HANDLE MORE THAN 1 TB. Even if you partition a 2 TB drive down to 1, it won't handle it. It will, on the other hand, function perfectly with flash drives, external hard drives, and internal hard drives with a USB adapter ; It...

Great Bluray player for the money!

This is a much better quality player than my Sony BD player. My Sony BD player is a pain to turn off, I either have to turn off the TV first and then shut off the BD player or switch activity on my TV and turn it off, but this BD player has no issues.

Everything

No Hulu plus or Pandora app

DO NOT BUY THIS PLAYER!!

Newegg shouldn't sell it. I bought two of them for my family as Christmas presents around thanksgiving and due to the holidays being a month a part Newegg will not take them back.

It plays Blu-Ray Discs

This player is a train-wreck if you try to hook it up to Netflix. You will only get the error message "We're having problems playing this title" tvp-805. And if you call LG tech support you may as well ask Forrest Gump to explain Quantum Physics. They...

Horrible Netflix support!!!

Don't buy LG products! Go with another manufacture. They have horrible tech support and the products do not perform as advertised.

Built in WIFI. Netflix capable

Netflix wont play shows. LG Tech support is horrible and have absolutely no technical knowledge about the products they are providing support for. They asked me if the Ethernet cable was plugged in.(this product is WIFI Only!) I had to return it for a...

Cannot stream Netflix.

Fortunately, I do not plan to use the alleged 'streaming' features of this device; if I did need them, I would be sending this thing back to Newegg today. This player was able to find and connect to our wireless network with no problems, and I was even...

As far as I can tell, it seems to be able to play blu-ray discs and DVDs ok

I can't get it to stream Netflix

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Very Basic

I would only buy this for connection straight to the TV. If you want to run this through a home theater receiver with 5.1 or 7.1 get a different unit.

I bought this as a gift for my sister that wanted a SMALL Blu-ray player to hook directly to her TV. This unit will work fine for her application ; I tried it out to make sure it works and it plays regular DVD's and Blu-ray's fine ; I did not try the...

No multichannel output, only two channel ; Only output is one HDMI ; Limited streaming options

PASS ON THESE

Thought I would get the kids and parents a cheap simple player, this turned into a nightmare, LONG load times when they did play, will NOT play any backups of our movies. I was super happy to RETURN THEM.

Came in a pretty box? holds down paper? it's black? the best PRO? able to RETURN THEM

TERRIBLE player takes forever to even load a movie when it will play one and will NOT play backup DVD's using netflix was a complete joke, the networking on these is total garbage ( not the word I wanted to use but if I did use it my review would be...
