LG Electronics BP550 Blu-Ray Player with Wi-Fi (2015 Model)

This DVD player is exactly what I expected and then some. Not only can you attach an external drive to play content, you can, also, stream from your PC. I've tested it on every format I could want and it plays them flawlessly. Excellent product, small footprint, worth every penny.

Good DVD player substitute for a smart TV.. I was able to connect it to my wireless internet to access my Amazon Prime as well as netflix. etc. My only complaint is that you have to download the manual from the internet and print it out yourself. Why not just give you a copy in the package? You definitely need to read the instructions before using this...there are not many instructions on screen. I couldn't figure out out to update the software, and then I read the instructions and it said you could push the unlabeled blue button on the remote. Also, I couldn't shut the thing off, and then read that you have to take the disc out first. You also can't have a disc in the machine when you update and you cannot touch any buttons on the remote or it cancels the update. Also you need the instructions to enable the remote to turn on the TV and adjust the volume. I might add that this player was not compatible with my old (very old) led TV, and I ended up having to buy a new TV as well. If I had it to do all over, I would have sent this back and just bought a smart TV to begin with, but I was determined to make this work!! the quality is very good and hopefully it will last me a while.

This is a awesome bluray player for the price it is easy to operate and it works on all the streaming apps like Hulu and Netflix. I have played several bluray disk and they play fantastic all the high End bluray audio sound fields work great like Dolby True HD Dts HD Master and pcm uncompressed the remote is very easy to use. I Like the pic modes this is a incredible bluray for the price it is worth the money.this is 3d also

It remembers where I left off watching a DVD and resumes at that point. The previous one I purchased didn't do that. The setup seems like it could use simpler defaults for internet connection, but after finding the manual online, I got it going. Picture quality good, remote is easier to deal with than many over featured ones.

The lg DP550 . Plugged it in , hooked it up ,turned it on and requested we do an update . Fine , had read another review that said they also had to .OK . Did up date . Played a disk , looked through every app it came with . Watched some Amazon Prime , great picture , great sound no problem . A couple of weeks later , turned it on , nothing but a white screen . Tried to turn it off , white screen . Tried to turn it off mannually . White screen . Unplugged it waited about 5 min . Plugged it back in , no problems until 10 days after 30 day return , white screen again . A replay like before . Froze up watching anything wifi . Then it just picked random times to freeze up , and the only way to shut it off was to unplug it . The last straw was when watching Sat. Tv ,, turns itself on , white screen , unplug . Left unplugged . Was going to call Lg and square trade protection plan the next day , since it was past the 30 day return . Couldn't sleep , it's after midnight . Amazon says 24/7 service . Called , got service person second ring . Told him what was going on with the unit , and told him it was past the 30 day window . He told me that they would issue me a refund , keep the old unit didn't want it back , and hoped I would still do business Amazon . ........ I asked ," I want to be sure I've got this straight . You know it's past the 30 days , your sending me a refund anyway , and you don't want the unit back ?" " Yes , he said , that's exactly right ! No stars if it were possible for the unit . 5 Stars for Amazon service and customer service personnel !

Nice basic Blu-Ray player. I bought it mainly because it was affordable, had Wifi and a smart phone app. The wifi is easy to set up, but the smart phone app is a little problematic. The app works fine most of the time, but occasionally you cannot wake the device up with it or shut it down. I like the player. My three star review is because it will not work with my new Samsung TV. The player works great on every TV that I own except my new SUHD Samsung TV (JS7000). Other brands of Blu-ray player work just fine on the TV but not this one. This player works on other brands of TV's and even older Samsung TV's. I have an older LG blu-ray that also would not work on the TV. On the new TV it does not put out any video signal. Tried calling LG and Samsung. Both said basically it was the other persons problem. LG customer service was horrible, Samsung at least tried to be helpful. The LG rep asked name, phone number, model number and if was connected to HDMI. Then put me on hold and unbeknownst to me, transferred me to Samsung support. That may have been fine if I was told they were going to transfer me to Samsung. Then I spent 15 frustrating min talking to someone from Samsung thinking I was talking to LG. Not surprisingly Samsung could not answer many questions about an LG player. They transferred me to the TV person who then tried to help, but ultimately said it was LG's problem. Called LG back, they said they had gone though all the trouble shooting steps with me and it was a problem with Samsung TV. I guess the level of support you should expect if there is a problem, is them getting your name and phone number and making sure you connected the device to the TV. If that does not fix it, it is not their fault. Maybe it is just my TV or that model but I suspect there could be a compatibility issue.

I like it. It does what I need it to. Plays all my DVD, CD, Blu-ray discs. I can also play my backups of my vacation slideshows from my NTFS-formatted hard drive. I also like that it is small and compact and not too expensive.

The box itself seems a bit cheap, but that's the norm these days. Overall, it plays well. I didn't have any issues connecting to the Internet. Note, however, that LG uses specific DNS settings so if you've set your household to only use DNS servers (like for OpenDNS content filter for kids), you'll have to open your firewall up for this device. The biggest gotcha is that as soon as you connect the Blu-ray to your network, it updates itself and removes the Amazon Instant Video player. If you, like me, were counting on this player to view your Amazon Prime videos, don't buy it. You can factory reset the device, enter in your network connections, and watch Amazon videos. However, when you exit the app, you'll notice that the Blu-ray player has updated its firmware in the background and your Amazon Instant Videos application has disappeared again. I hope they fix this in a future update, but since my Amazon Instant Videos app also disappeared from my LG TV, I suspect that something is up between those two.

I love it .

La compatibilidad con discos y dispositivos extraibles es muy buena, he conectado discos duros y los detecta sin problema, solo lo que no me gusta es el control pero en general todos los LG son iguales me gustaría un botón rápido para audio y subtitulos.

Nope, not pleased with this purchase. It constantly freezes, especially when using Netflix. It drives me crazy! I have to physically unplug it in order to reboot it. When it freezes, I can't even manually turn it off, let alone anything else. Odd though because I am generally a big fan of LG products. I absolutely would not recommend this product. Especially when there are other options out there that are more economical.

Excellent achat
