A significant step up from the bd300, my favorite blu ray on the market right now.

Of the new copy year ‘2009′ blu ray players, we own the lg bd370, samsung bd-p1600, and a ps3. By far, the bd370 is the nicest because of blu ray content. Loading is fast and the drive is completely silent (this is not the problem on the bd-p1600 by samsung). Piano black finish on the face is plastic, and looks righteousness. We get found that it does not scratch easily too! The pause of the problem is black-ish metal and sturdy.
One of the significant things about the lg bd370 is you can customize the look of the interface on your tv. There are 4 themes and all are inside high-definition. The remote on the bd370 changed from the bd300, and i feel it was a step down. It’s got a faux-leather finish on it – why? No idea. The one improvement is buttons that don’t get used plenty are hidden behind a panel on the remote.
Netflix ‘watch instantly’ is very cool and the organization is literally 30-40 seconds if you already get an account. Just after we got ours, lg bd370 alerted us that a firmware update was available! It added cinemanow – we hadn’t used cinemanow before, but a quick registration on their site and connecting was just as easy as netflix. Rented a couple movies to try it out – very cool. Youtube is also accessible on the player and it’s awesome. I’d easily compare it withy an appletv, though believe it or not, the bd370 is a bit faster at inquiring and playing youtube videos – it also does them inside full screen, no problem.
One odd thing we’ve noticed… withy netflix and cinemanow and youtube we get only watched 3 or 4 movies on blu ray. So plenty other content accessible that this player is really a steal – it’s a fantastic blu ray player (audio and video as righteousness as you imagine it would be), but wow is it awesome to get a player that does so plenty other stuff.
No wireless on this player, nor does it get built-in memory because of using bd-live. Neither of these items should be cause because of concern – i haven’t seen a bd-live feature yet that has been worth while… All the righteousness stuff is usually already on the blu ray disk itself.
The thing that makes it just a bit better than our samsung bd-p1600 is the front display. The circular button assembly on the front glows a soft blue when playing blu ray, soft red when playing dvd, and purple on certain netflix, youtube, and cinemanow video. The main display is also helpful, showing ‘netflx’, etc and most importantly, you can see the display (the samsung player’s display is so dim you wouldn’t believe it).
