LG Electronics BD390 Network Blu-ray Disc™ Player Review

Most of the other reviews here are focused on the price a certain business was charging for the player. I thought this review process was to inform others of the qualities or lack thereof of the product. One reviewer, So-Glad had a hard time with the BD390 and suggested that no one else purchase one based on his experience. If you check the Audio-Video forums you will find many people that are extremely happy with their BD390. You will also find information to resolve the types of problems So-Glad was experiencing.
I had a Panasonic BD30 connected to my 58" Samsung plasma for about 2 years and was very happy with it. I also have a PS3 on a 26" LCD that is used almost exclusively for gaming. I always felt I was missing something because I wasn't getting the hi-def audio from my Blu-Ray movies. My Yamaha RX-V1400 receiver is great but it does not have HDMI connections. So I decided to get a Blu-Ray player with 7.1 analog outputs. After a long search, reading many reviews and from suggestions on some forums, I decided on the BD390. Wow, what a difference I thought the Blu-Ray quality was great on my Panasonic but the LG is another whole level. I didn't know my Plasma was capable of such sharp Blu-Ray quality. That is a big bonus I wasn't expecting.
The Blu-Ray audio with the The 7.1 analog is out of this world. I can use my receiver's remote to switch between digital optical and 7.1 analog inputs to compare the difference. It's better than I expected.
Wireless streaming is also a feature I was looking for. I was a little disappointed in the Netfix streaming. I get the Netflix movies OK without any problems but the resolution is maybe a little better than VHS quality and only has stereo sound. But Vudu is a whole different story. The Vudu movies are almost Blu-Ray quality and with surround sound. I can also stream video, pictures and music from my computer but with Windows 7 I had to install the included Nero program. Streaming stuff from my computer is not one of the reason I bought the BD390 and is a feature that I will rarely ever use but it's nice to know I can if I want to.
Overall this is a great Blu-Ray player that does a lot for the 9.00 I paid for it. Rumor has it that this player is no longer being produced because a new model is coming out early next year so the price will probably continue to drop.
