Quick review

The good: MPEG4 and MKV playback, YouTube, design, price, plays Blu-ray too
The bad: Networking can be fiddle, potentially prone to crashes
Verdict: The compelling feature set sort of sweeps any shortcomings under the carpet. The LG BD370 is a very capable Blu-ray player, worthy of consideration for your home entertainment

Comments

Great player, great value, but be warned ... you'll be lucky to get the YouTube function to work. I get the same 'network congestion' error as most people, even after f/w updates, port forwarding, and good old-fashioned restarts. Hmmmmmm. Posted by Bluem000n, UK
Update - new firmware available yesterday. Downloaded and applied it, and hey presto - YouTube works! Cool. Posted by Bluem000n, UK
