LG BD390 = THE NEW GEN BLU-RAY DVD MEDIA PLAYERS

I am very impressed with the ease of use. The on screen menu is excellent. Updates to the OS are easy to do. The YouTube experience is nice on the big home theater screen, but not as fast to navigate, load and view as compared to a modern computer. The USB interface is easy to use for playing photos and videos from your computer or camera (tennis shoe network), but some video formats may not play (ymmv). There are a number of features that I have not tried since they are subscription based, but the bottom line is that the BD390 is made for interfacing with your home network and the internet so I think this is a big plus-plus.
One drawback that I have is that I have another LG brand DVD/VCR combo player in the same area so when I use the remote to turn on or turn off the BD390, the other LG device will also respond... on a side note, the LG BD390 has options onscreen to play the DVD from a particular time (Hours/Minutes/Seconds), but the remote supplied does not have any numbers! Funny huh? Well the other LG remote for my older DVD/VCR does have numbers on it so I can do a switch if need be. A universal remote may be a solution if it can differentiate between the two.
I also like the HDMI interface to the TV. If you are shopping for an audio amp, be sure to get one with HDMI so it can work with both devices at the same level of quality signal. For me it may be time to upgrade my amp, but the BD390 offers digital audio so most people will be happy.
Check your specs!
