LG BD550 Blu-Ray Player

The good: Excellent Blu-ray image quality; Netflix, Vudu, YouTube, Pandora, and CinemaNow streaming; plays music, videos, and pictures off a connected USB drive; relatively quick load times compared with other entry-level Blu-ray players.
The bad: No DLNA compatibility, so you can't stream digital media from a networked computer; user interface is overdesigned; no onboard storage; must manually change the output mode to 1080p.
The bottom line: Quick load times, excellent Blu-ray image quality, and a generous suite of streaming services make the LG BD550 a solid entry-level Blu-ray player.

Dead easy to use.
Mine was modded for region free Blu-ray and DVD and it works perfectly.
I have had it spit the dummy and crash with 2 .mkv files so far but that is, by far, the minority of the time.
I have tried Blu-rays, DVDs, .wmv, .mt2s, .avi and .mkv files on my 50 inch Panasonic 1080p plasma and they all look great.
The big plus for me here with this player is it plays .mkvs etc etc burned to disc as well as from a flash drive or hard drive through the USB port.
The player is small, light and quiet.
I am very happy with my purchase.

Does the job and at a very good price. A, bit tricky getting the HDMI to work with our HD ready LG TV which is a bit annoying - poor instructions and if you can't see the picture it is tricky to change the picture input! Am using the component to SCART until I find the time to work it out!

brilliant bit of kit usb function is priceless well worth the money.........only one complain is some mkv files wont play off usb but do on a disk

we bought this product because obviously we wanted to watch blu-ray films. it is very good value for the money we paid for it. so far we have had no problems with it.it is very easy to use cannot compare it as we have not had another one. we would definately recommend it to anyone.
