John, Edinburgh , “Home cinema enthusiast” More like this »

+ great picture and sound. Looks fantastic, very minimalistic. Plays most internet formats such as DiVX, MKV, etc. SimpLink to other LG products. Good upscaling. Choice of themes and screensaver. Easy to use (my 2 yo can use it). Good coice of outputs - component and HDMI plus co-ax and optical for sound. Regular firmware/driver updates - 3 since I bought it. YouTube works well.

- Remote slightly odd layout but does the job. Not multi-region for standard DVDs but may be a code to enable this. Would be nice if remote allowed texting style input e.g. press the numbers to choose letter like on a phone for YouTube rather than using an onscreen keyboard but this is a minor gripe.

- Had a bit of trouble setting it up as we have an LG tv too which was connecting via the simplink facility. Once this was disabled it all worked perfectly.

+ Simple and cheap, when it works. YouTube connectivity might be a gimic but it can still be handy to watch trailer etc.

- Seems to be very sensitive to any problem with the disks, to a fault. I have an LG dvd player and this bluray and a number of disks work on the old player but not on the new one (obviously talking about DVDs here but a couple of bluray have also jumped for now clear reason)

Robert, Lancaster

+ Picture quality, design and features

- Buttons on the machine need to be pressed firmly but, only on some occasions (a very minor issue, and not an issue at all if using the remote all the time). Also, I am connected via HDMI and if the machine is playing a Blu-ray or DVD, and the tv is turned off, the machine seems to detect that no display is present and turns itself off after 5-10 minutes. I do like to drift off to sleep at night listening to a movie so this probably only affects me (who would sit and just listen to a movie ordinarily!!). My workaround - leave the tv on with its sleep timer on (waste of electricity), or i just use my HD-DVD player instead.
