Fantastic for the price but, a little room for improvement
So, I was researching all these different Blu Ray players under the $300 mark and discovered most ALL of them have some problems of one kind or another. This model is outdated now that 4k is such a big deal. But, for those of us who don't own 4k TV's and just need a good Blu Ray player that can connect to sites like Netflix and Hulu, this was my selected choice.
It has great picture quality, runs my Netflix service just great and has played any dvd/blu ray I've thrown in it so far. Has LAN and WiFi hookup so, if you can't get a LAN cable to your placement of it.... there's still WiFi option.
The only downside to the BP550 is maybe (for some people) there could be more premium services added (which are in newer generation LG models.) And, as many people have stated, sometimes you get a frozen screen which requires you to unplug the machine and then plug back in. I knew this potential problem before buying it and figured it is the least bothersome problem of all the choices out there.
In fact, it's only happened to me once while watching a Netflix show.... and I've watched hours upon hours of Netflix shows since then without an issue. So, a little room for improvement but, a great choice... especially at this price point. I picked up a store return/open box (still new) for $67--which is freakin awesome for this generation/model of Blu Ray player.
