LG BD370

By (cnet.com)

Streams Netflix and YouTube ; Profile 2.0 compatible ; onboard decoding for Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio Essential ; relatively quick load times

Competitors offer better image quality on Blu-ray and DVD ; no Wi-Fi option

LG's entry-level Blu-ray player packs Netflix and YouTube at a reasonable price, but the BD370's image quality is a step below the best.

LG BD370

By Robert Heron (pcmag.com)

LG earned our admiration when it introduced the BD300, the fastest-loading Blu-ray disc player we'd ever seen. Now the new LG BD370 Network Blu-ray Disc Player ($299 list) features the speedy disc-handling of its predecessor at an initial price that's ...

Stylish, clean design. Fast start-up and disc-loading speeds. Streams Netflix and YouTube video

Below-average DVD upconversion. Poor image quality with 1080i video sources. Optional memory required for BD-Live support

The LG BD370 Network Blu-ray Disc Player's fast disc-handling speed and slick styling are tempered by subpar DVD upconversion performance.

The BD370's new remote control isn't as fancy as those included with past LG...

LG BD370

By Ian Morris (cnet.co.uk)

The reasonably priced BD370 is one of the best-looking and best-specified Blu-ray players on the market, offering excellent media-playback capability and great image quality. It lacks analogue 7.1 audio outputs but, apart from that, we love every ...

MKV-playback support ; full audio-codec support ; appealing design ; good menus

USB socket is front-mounted ; no analogue 7.1 audio outputs

The LG BD370 is a terrific Blu-ray player. Support for both YouTube and media files like DivX and MPEG-4 plays a huge part in our love for this machine. MKV playback is really the icing on the cake, taking the BD370 from being a good Blu-ray player to ...

To that end, the LG BD370 is one of the best-specified Blu-ray players on the...

"Excellent value for the money...$149 at Fry's"

By bkester47 (cnet.com)

This is a great Blu-Ray player for the money ... 

Excellent HD for blu-ray and up-converting for SD DVDs/ Networked offerings were good for the price and time of its manufacture...standards have moved on. Excellent HD for Netflix that are in HD....SD is acceptable

BD370 is not DNLA endowed, has limited memory, and will never be VUDU capable. Don't expect much from CinemaNow. YouTube is cumbersome to navigate

"Good player,Marker does not save your movie position!"

This product is great interfacing with Netflix online, does a pretty good job at up converting DVDs

Slow load times on blue rays. And worst of all the "marker" button does not save your position on Blue Ray Discs.
