In 2009, it can’t possibly be enough for a Blu- ray player to just play Blu- ray movies. Given the ubiquity of internet media streaming services, for example Netflix and Amazon Video On Demand, consumers already expect Blu- ray players to offer up an amazing array of standard- definition, instant- gratification media options to complement their high- definition Blu- ray experience. LG was the first company to realize this trend with the BD390- – the first Blu- ray player with Netflix streaming. The company’s flagship Blu- ray player, the BD390, stays a step ahead of your competitors with its exceptional feature set- – Netflix, YouTube, CinemaNow, built- in 802. 11n Wi- Fi(a first) , 7. 1 analog outputs, geek- friendly MKV- video file playback over USB, and 1GB of onboard memory. Even better, the BD390 is the best Blu- ray player, with top- notch image quality, lightning fast load times, and onboard decoding for all the high- resolution audio soundtracks.
The LG BD390 has a more regular and delicate look. The front faceplate is a glossy, reflective black accented by a strip of silver metal on the top and silver feet below. The LCD screen is just off center, and its large size and bright white color ensure it is easy to understand from across your home theater, despite the fact that some will be disappointed that it can’t be dimmed. You will find four playback controls across the front of the unit, along with a removable plastic cover that reveals a USB port. We had it sitting right next to the Samsung BD- P3600 in our lab and if we had to pick one, we’d give the nod to the BD390.
The incorporated remote control is one of the better ones we’ve seen on a Blu-ray player. LG keeps it simple, with a big direction pad toward the top, surrounded by key buttons like disc menu and home. Playback controls are right below and they’re sensibly separated, instead of being cluttered close to infrequently used buttons. You’ll find additional controls under a slide- down cover, which is surprisingly stiff and tough to open. Luckily we found ourselves rarely using those buttons, even though if you plan on using the BD390’s remote to control your TV too, you’ll be peeved that vital buttons like volume and channel controls are under the cover.
The interface on LG’s Blu- ray players and now we now have lots of additional streaming services, the simple menus are even nicer. The home menu presents your options in seven simple icons: Movie, Photo, Music, My Media, Netflix, YouTube, CinemaNow, and Setup. The colorful high- definition graphics can be a good touch. Every one of LG’s 2009 Blu- ray players consist of Netflix Instant streaming. The YouTube user interface is surprisingly responsive. The BD390 also offers streaming CinemaNow access, which gives pay- per- rental pricing, very much alike satellite and cable video on- demand services.
Like almost all 2009 Blu- ray players, the BD390 is Profile2. – compatible, which means it access playback BD- Live features available on some Blu- ray movies. It has 1GB of onboard storage, so you will not need to go through the trouble of plugging in a USB memory stick to download extra content. For anyone who is still not won over, you may take a look at what are the Top 10 Blu-ray players for a model that suits you best.
