Needs search on Netflix
on January 4, 2011
Posted by: Andy
This is an awesome product. Great picture quality, wireless, etc. I bought it primarily for the WiFi and Netflix streaming capability. I would say that the ability to search Netflix for titles is needed here. This functionality exists on my Nintendo Wii, and is the only thing I would like to see updated through software/firmware, hopefully soon...
Pros: Performance, Features/Settings, Quality
I would recommend this to a friend!

Outstanding BD PLayer +
on January 4, 2011
Posted by: PJH
from Florida
This player did everything it was stated as being able to do. I picked it up specifically for the feature of reading content from a USB device. I have it connected to a 1.5 TB portable drive and just download torrent movie files. Then watch in Hi Def.. currently have over 100 movies and i can just delete the ones i no longer want.. Saves me storage space and money from buying a whole new collection of DVD-Roms. Had it for over 2 months now and it still works GREAT!! No hinges, hang-ups, or problems what so ever!!! I highly recommend this player!!!
Pros: Performance, easy to use, Features/Settings, Quality

easy to set up even for me. Works great. Love it but it needs more apps to be added in. Would very much like to be able to get more apps to pull in missed tv shows. Not just 5 minutes worth but the whole show. Still great value
Pros: Performance, easy to use, Quality

Very good product

This is probably one of the best value for money product.
Really easy to use & the wireless service is really cool. Decent apps that are available with the player.
If LG can add new apps when they update the software...it will be really helpful.
Pros: Performance, Style/Design, easy to use, Features/Settings, Quality

The BD570 series is an excellent product!
on October 4, 2011
Posted by: Momof6
I have the BD572. Excellent product. My first Blu-Ray disc player, for the price it delivers everything is promises. Set-up is easy and user-friendly, connects to my wireless network and streams Netflix and more with ease. Movies are crystal clear. It is like a mini computer that you can control from the ease of your living room with a remote control.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Not too bad!

Love that this unit has DLNA and plays nearly 99% of anything I throw at it. The only thing that would make this even better would be HULU PLUS support.

Excellent Media Player
on June 22, 2013
Posted by: cburgher
from Sandy, OR, USA
I purchased the BD570 to replace a BD390. Mostly, I use the device as a media player from drives on my home network. I use only rarely the Blu-Ray playback and/or the streaming features.
The native support of NTFS formatted USB drives was the main distinguishing feature between LG and other manufacturers. This allows for playback of large, high quality video files.
But, it is USB 2.0, not 3.0, so really high bit-rate videos become clunky.
There are a few drawbacks to this unit, and I think some of them are common amongst all brands. As I've experienced they are:
1# Support of 4TB USB drives. 2TB NTFS work great. In theory, this player should recognize 4TB NTFS drives, but I never had any success. I even tried limiting the number of files and folders to less than 2000 #see #2 below), but no success.
2) DNLA appears to be limited to 2000 files & folders, and doesn't appear to support embedded file tags. If you could sort by series name, or any of a number of tag fields, it would make the DNLA feature more useful.
3) HomeLink also appears to also be limited to 2000 files & folders. I had to partition the drive into 1.5TB chunks for TV series to make them usable. I haven't tested yet, but the same might be true for music files.
4) The 802.11n support is for 2.4GHz only. It would be really nice if it supported 5GHz. Also, I cannot tell if it allows for fat channels, which would improve streaming performance.
Pros: Features/Settings

Great Features/Easy Set Up
on February 28, 2010

from Sacramento, Ca.
I still can't believe how easy it was to hook this component up. I was watching streaming movies from Netflix 20 minutes after I opened the box. All you need is one (monster) cord from TV to Blueray, follow on screen instructions, and you're done! I love my LG products!!
