Expert review by (bluray-players.net)
The LG BD630 is the entry level model in its immensely popular blu-ray player lineup for 2011. While it does not boast of cutting edge features such as 3D playback or built-In Wi-Fi, the BD630 is nonetheless refined and well built. Complete with vivid...
The LG BD630 may not be revolutionary, but is a consummate blu-ray player with simple yet practical features. Furthermore, its outstanding and smooth performance is not undermined by its relatively affordable price. If you are looking for a basic entry...
Expert review by (whathifi.com)
It looks nice and has good features, but sound and picture disappoint
Smart interface has a decent selection of apps ; Good looks
Picture lacks vibrancy ; Sound needs better organisation and timing
The LG BP630 is a mixed bag. Its smart offering is impressive for the money, but the picture is merely decent and the sound is disappointing.
Consumer review (newegg.com)
Slim device with usable remote. Happy with the purchase.
Can use your Netflix, YouTube, etc. accounts. The Netflix account isn't crippled, like on some DVRs, but lets you search for titles, see categories, etc ; Has a USB port for a flash drive or external HD, to view photos, etc
Not wireless and no way to upgrade to use wifi. (Tried using a USB-wifi AP, and player displays message "ERROR" and auto-shuts off.)
Consumer review (newegg.com)
Plays everything including MP4 (H264), AVI (VXID, DIVX), MPEG 1,2, and 3 ts, m2ts, mkv, wmv
None really other than price is high here. Available elsewhere for $85. I own 3
Consumer review (shopnbc.com)
I hate the fact it's not wifi, therefore I have to have this cord running across my floor to the back of the player to access Netflix. Beyond that it's a pretty good buy.
Consumer review (blu-ray.com)
I just bought this machine recently and have been putting it to the test. DVD's play very well and the menus are easy to navigate. I chose this over another brand because it had Component video which was missing on the other unit. Not everyone wants to...
Quality construction, plays most formats
Doesn't play Divix or VCDsDoesn't play Divix or VCDs
Consumer review (blu-ray.com)
I just got this player a few weeks back and so far it has worked like a dream for me. I am not hooked to the internet with it, but it serves the purpose I bought it for very well, and that is of course to watch movies in High Definition. I reccomend it...
Works well, Easy to follow controls
None to my knowledge so far
Consumer review (blu-ray.com)
The BD630 is an entry level player from LG. The player is quite easy to use for BluRay, DVD and online services. Included with this player are Netflix, Vudu, CinemaNow and YouTube online services. Netflix and Vudu seem to work great playing back with...
Ease of use, user interface
Lack of applications
Consumer review (rakuten.com)
Not only is this a real fine Blu-Ray player, it plays more compressed formats than any other player I've seen. It plays .avi, mpg, mp4, and probably more with the latest firmware update. It plays off home-burned CDs and DVDs. It plays great off a USB...
Consumer review (rakuten.com)
This player was super easy to set up - out of the box, installed, firmware updated and working in about 25 minutes. I don't currently have a HD TV, just ED, but the picture is better than my former DVD. Can't wait to upgrade my TV!
