LG BPM55 3D-Capable BLU-RAY DISC Player with Streaming Services and WI-FI(Renewed)

Comment

I bought this to watch some blu rays and DVDs that I bought while living overseas in Germany a few years ago. I bought this player because it was cheap and advertised as region-free, which would allow me to watch both my region A and B movies/shows. I tried playing one of my region B blu rays and immediately got an error code, saying that the disc was not compatible with the player. In short, the player is NOT region-free. I had no problems at all with the construction nor quality of the player, but it couldnt do the one thing I originally bought it for, hence the low rating.

This LG item was lightly used. It was used infrequently every few weeks. The quirks were tolerable at first but became more bothersome as time progressed. If I had used it more frequently in the beginning its failure would have occurred before closure of the return window. The failure I speak of includes lock-ups, failure to read discs consistently and an eject mechanism that works on occasion.

Own another one of these that was bought new almost 2 years ago and love it, however this one does not work... Sent messages to the seller as no matter what tv try it on will not playback more than 10 seconds and then freezes, but have yet to receive and kind of a response back... Not sure I will ever buy refurbished again and should have spent the little extra and bought new...

This is a great player. It would be nice if there were more sound output options though. But, I guess the manufacturer figures that is someone elses problem. Getting sound from a TV nowdays to your old analog kickbutt stereo is not straight forward without some digital to analog conversion. I have an LG TV also and there is only a toslink for sound output. My stereo just stares at that socket.

Would not maintain wireless network connection with brand new Xfinity Gigabit modem/router less than 20 feet away with clear line of sight, nor would the unit power off with the remote OR the power button on the unit itself - it had to be unplugged from the wall to power down. LG has lost a customer for life, 2nd unit in a row Ive purchased with similar aggravating issues. Never again.

This is a nice compact Bluray player. The streaming app selection is very limited though. It has Netflix and Amazon streaming and those are the only two I really use. We used to have a regular DVD player and a Roku for this TV but the DVD player went and the Roku is pretty old so I got this to replace both and it does the trick. It doesnt really come close to replacing the Roku in functionality but it is good enough for us. Will update for reliability after we have had it a while.

Disc operation is good but Netflix and Amazon apps are laggy and freeze often. Unit is 15 feet from WIFI router and its still laggy. You need to unplug to unfreeze. Also Amazon app was hard to find. Only a couple of apps are visible on the quick launch menu. The others are buried in the menu with no easy instructions on how to find them.

It serves the purpose for which I bought it. I lost the remote for my other player and rendered it useless. This player replaced it and paired with my lg tv so I can use the remote to operate both. I am not impressed with the streaming capabilities but that is not what I bought it for. For the way I use it I am very pleased with this unit.
