LG BD370
This player has to be the best entry level player available. I can remember VCR’s selling for more money than this 10 years ago. The BD370 is a power house that offers incredible resolution.
The online deals are incredible. With Amazon offering this player for under $180 delivered with free shipping and no sales tax, you cannot loose.

 A great step up from the BD300, my favorite Blu Ray on the market right now. |
| Review Date: May 23, 2009 |
| Reviewer: J. Riga, Columbus, Ohio United States |
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!

| 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. |
