Blu Ray Player Date: 2009-01-08 Rating: 8 out of 10The player was a Christmas gift for my husband. He had it hooked up in about 1 hour out of the box to the flat screen on the bedroom wall. He seems to think the blu ray discs have a much superior picture quality. I also gave him a subsciption to Netflix because of the ability of this player to download movies and play instantly. We have not completed that part of the installation yet. The many buttons on the remote have some functions that we have yet to find or figure out. (Reading the manuals would probably help.) This player was a little more expensive than some of the other blu ray players, but I wanted the feature of downloading movies instantly. (Tired of the premium movie channels with nothing to watch.) I almost bought a PS3 instead of this player which may be a better choice for those who like games.

BewertungenSolid and DependableDatum 2009-01-06 Rang: 8 von 10I been using this unit for the past several months and would highly recommend it. While I've not owned other Blu-Ray players, I have been impressed with the solid build quality and fast start-up (comparied to a friends unit). I especially like the ability to stream NetFlix movies...and hope that more updates to the firmware reveil future integrations to other VOD services (i.e. Roku planning to integrate Amazon's HD VOD services) to this unit as well.
I didn't give it five stars because of the shortage of internal memory for BD-Live content, which is sometimes available for newer Blu-Ray disks. This unit requires you to put a flash USB drive (1 Gb -inexpensive) in the front - LG, next time put one in the back so you don't ruin your beautiful, sleek design. USB Functionality?Datum 2009-01-02 Rang: 10 von 10I would be interested to hear from any BD300 owners regarding the functionality of the USB port and Media files.
Some of the LG press releases I've seen clearly state that media files (d-pix, MP3/music, and VIDEO) can be played from an attached USB drive... though they state FLASH/thumb-drives.
I'd be interested in knowing if the VIDEO part is true, and (if anyone's willing to experiment) what common CODEC's and file types are supported... such as DVD "ISO" files, MPG2 video, VOB, DivX or XviD, MKV, etc.
I'd like to think the Engineers (or more likely, Marketing guys who drive the Engineering departments) were thinking at least a LITTLE bit when it was being designed. I have hoped to find a BD player that can play full resolution "rips" of my BD and DVD discs. I would use an external multi-TB USB drive array, sitting near the player. This way I can leave the original disc nearly "untouched" in my library (already have over 250 DVD's), needed only if/when the USB drive dies or if I want to use the movie off-site.
Comments?Good Player, But Need More Netflix ProgrammingDatum 2009-01-01 Rang: 8 von 10I had been tempted to order this player for quite a while, but the price and the limited availability of Netflix titles kept holding me back. Just in time for my birthday, however, the price dropped so I received the BD300 as a gift.
Overall, I like the simplicity of the unit. Pop in a DVD or CD and you are automatically taken to those features. If there's no disc in the player, the easy on-screen menu lands on the Netflix streaming option. Click on it and you are presented with a list of the Netflix programs that you dropped in your queue (through a web browser on your computer). Just click on one to start the program.
The blu-ray playback is very good, but I wanted this unit for the Netflix streaming. Quality on that feature is good, about what you'd get with a VHS tape. I see a lot of promise with this feature but am absolutely frustrated with the limited number of streaming programs available. For instance, I'm watching the first season of MacGyver through streaming, but as I write this, the other seasons are not available through the streaming option. I have to order the DVDs.
In fact, very little of the Netflix library is available for instant play. I'm guessing maybe about 1% is. Most annoying. And, I would hope in future versions (if there are any) that there is some feature that allows browsing available programs from the unit. Currently, you have to go to the Netflix web site on your computer to select programs.
So, it's a good blu-ray player for the money, but be prepared to be disappointed with Netflix as far as program availability for the streaming feature. Great for Blu-Ray but missing WiFi and Netflix is not greatDatum 2008-12-30 Rang: 8 von 10The quality of the Blu-Ray disks are great when played back and have played regular DVD's and they are much improved over our older player. As with most any Blu-Ray, you will notice not only the improvement in video but was not expecting such a dramtic increase in sound.
I wish we could be more flexible in placement of the unit, but are stuck getting it close to the router as it needs an ethernet connection.
Also the Netflix movies that stream are very poor in quality, they tend to stop and buffer and are not much better than analog TV. I would expect that this is all based on internet connection speed, but since there is no buffering and just live streaming slow downs are very annoying.
