Reviews: Blu-ray Players

The LG BD550 is an entry-level Blu-ray player. It also features a media player and support for Blu-ray Live features if you connect a USB key, while an Ethernet port gives you access to DLNA networks. All of this is available for a very attractive price. LG has completely revised the design of its earlier DVD and Blu-ray players. The new BD550 has a slim, compact black frame in glossy plastic, and will look perfectly at home next to your other Home Cinema equipment. Nothing could be simpler than what you find on the the front: the Blu-ray drive is in the middle, with buttons on the right hand side. The USB port is further over, and you can connect either a flash memory stick or an external hard drive to store data from BD-Live features (1 GB minimum), or use it to access your own videos, music and photos via the media player. The media player supports NTFS, and once you've connected an external device, it can access all sorts of file formats. During our tests, almost all of the HD video formats we tried worked without a problem. Things are nice and simple at the back too, with a basic range of inputs and outputs: HDMI, composite and component for video, an Ethernet port, and coaxial and stereo for audio.

LG BD550

If you have Ethernet connectivity in your living room, the smart move is to go with an entry-level Blu-ray player. Most such players available in 2010 offer much of the functionality of step-up models, minus built-in Wi-Fi. That's the case with the LG BD550 ($150 street), which is nearly identical to the step-up BD570, except it lacks Wi-Fi and DLNA compatibility and costs about $100 less. If you can live without those features, the BD550 still delivers excellent image quality, relatively speedy load times, and a generous suite of streaming-media services, including Netflix, Vudu, Pandora, and YouTube. It's missing the expandable Apps platform of the competing Samsung BD-C5500, but if you mostly care about core streaming services, the BD550 is a solid entry-level choice. Design At first glance, the exterior design of the BD550 looks almost identical to the step-up BD570, but we actually liked it a little better. The main difference is that the BD570 has one long flip-down panel that covered the entire front panel, whereas the BD550 is broken up into three sections: disc tray on the left, power and eject buttons in the middle, and a flip-down panel on the right.
