My original intention for buying the LG BD 390 Arrangement Blu-ray Disc Player was to finally get blu-ray capability. After getting the unit, I rented a blu-ray movie and fiddled around including the special effects and loved the the high definition video…but my main focus was to delight in the movie, not spend time playing including blu-ray extras like making my own mashups, playing sports meeting, or being interrupted by the director throughout the movie. So oddly, the thing that really appeals to me about the LG BD390 is not blu-ray anymore, but its accessibility to media via the arrangement. I can stream Netflix, YouTube, and MP3 and video records/movies from myPC (via the built-in DLNA server software). I wish it could also do Internet radio and play Quicktime video; otherwise, nearly all my media is currently unfilled through this single device, and via my single complete remote. Pretty soon the Vudu service will be unfilled through this device via a firmware upgrade over the Internet, and I won’t even reckon it over myself having to buy or rent blu-ray discs anymore! By the road, it was also very simple and straightforward to setup. It took me about 30 minutes to setup including my A/V receiver, secured home WiFi, plus go and dust some shelves in my A/V cabinet.
