BD370 Review

Average User Rating 5starrating

The LG BD370 reviews should be a key factor influencing your buying decision. I always want to know what other users have to say about any product that I buy. I am not the type of person that has to be the first one to buy something.  I patiently wait until the reviews are posted. More importantly, I wait until the price drops.  After reviewing the top Blu-ray players for 2009, this is my top choice for an entry level Blu-ray player.  For less than $199, you can get online and watch more content than you ever dreamed of.  Most of time you will never be loading a disc into the system.   Don’t get me wrong, watching a Blu-ray disc is going to up grade your movie watching tastes.  But if you can get the same quality streamed live to your player from Netflix, why bother?  The only discs that you will be loading are your old DVD.  If an exceptionally great movie hits the market, you will probably end up purchasing that too.  This makes economic sense.

LG also makes a wireless adapter so you can connect to your home network.  This is a great option if you want your BD370 located away from your pc.  Most people are tired of the spaghetti junction wire mess behind their pc.  Wireless is way cool and this sytems offers that capability too.

Whether you are getting the BD370 for yourself or family, it’s going to be the box office hit in your house.  It’s the ultimate family entertainment machine!

Here are the top BD370 reviews from Amazon.  This is one great player is why I give it 5 stars!

A great step up from the BD300, my favorite Blu Ray on the market right now.

Of the new model year '2009' Blu Ray players, we own the LG BD370, Samsung BD-P1600, and a PS3. By far, the BD370 is the nicest for Blu Ray content. Loading is FAST and the drive is completely silent (this is not the case on the BD-P1600 by Samsung). Piano Black finish on the face is plastic, and looks good. We have found that it does not scratch easily too! The rest of the case is black-ish metal and sturdy.

One of the great things about the LG BD370 is you can customize the look of the interface on your TV. There are 4 themes and all are in high-definition. The remote on the BD370 changed from the BD300, and I feel it was a step down. It's got a faux-leather finish on it - why? No idea. The one improvement is buttons that don't get used much are hidden behind a panel on the remote.

Netflix 'Watch Instantly' is very cool and the setup is literally 30-40 seconds if you already have an account. Just after we got ours, it alerted us that a firmware update was available! It added CinemaNow - we hadn't used CinemaNow before, but a quick registration on their site and connecting was just as easy as Netflix. Rented a couple movies to try it out - VERY cool. YouTube is also available on the player and it's AWESOME. I'd easily compare it with an AppleTV, though believe it or not, the BD370 is a bit faster at searching and playing YouTube videos - it also does them in Full Screen, no problem.

One odd thing we've noticed... with Netflix and CinemaNow and YouTube we have only watched 3 or 4 movies on Blu Ray. So much other content available that this player is really a STEAL - it's a fantastic Blu Ray player (audio and video as good as you imagine it would be), but WOW is it awesome to have a player that does so much other stuff.

No wireless on this player, nor does it have built-in memory for using BD-Live. Neither of these items should be cause for concern - I haven't seen a BD-Live feature YET that has been worth while... all the good stuff is usually already on the Blu Ray disk itself.

The thing that makes it just a bit better than our Samsung BD-P1600 is the front display. The circular button assembly on the front glows a soft blue when playing Blu Ray, soft red when playing DVD, and purple on certain Netflix, YouTube, and CinemaNow video. The main display is also helpful, showing 'NETFLX', etc and most importantly, you can SEE the display (the Samsung player's display is so dim you wouldn't believe it).

For the price and feature set, I don't think there's another player I'd even consider after having used them all!
Best new 6th gen Bluray player so far!

Reviewer: T. Seymour,
After doing a very thorough round of research on the new 6th gen Bluray players (Samsung BDP1600&BDP3600,Panasonic DMPBD-60K&dmpbd80K,and LGBD370)i picked up the LG BD370 and am blown away by it so far.It was the fastest of the new players listed above as well as having the best picture(equal with the Panasonic DMPBD60 which also offers and outstanding picture and is quite fast but missing ALL of the new addons the other players are offering)The BD370 has TrueHD and DTS Master audio decoding on board as well as being BDLive 2.0 ready, and having out of the box Youtube connectivity(free) and Netflix streaming(you need to have a Netflix sub).I got mine for $259 from my local BB(which has all the new models in stock as of last weekend)with an area price match and find for the price/performance/feature set the LG BD370 offers, that it is easily the top new BR player in it's price/class range this year.
