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

This is a fantastic, no frills, Blu-ray player. I was very happy to find a "dumb" Blu-ray player since I already have a Smart TV and a Roku player. As has been mentioned, the menu screen looks like something out of the 90s, but that doesnt bother me one bit. Disc loading time is lighting fast. Picture and sound are much improved over my old Panasonic player. Overall, if you already have a Smart TV or other means to stream content (Fire Stick, Roku, Apple TV, etc.) then this is the player is hard to beat for the price.

So I have a 4K tv and a PS4 pro with 4K capabilities but could not play 4K discs. I went ahead and bought this 4K Blu-ray player. What I love the most about this is that it does not try to be a "Smart" device, it does not have YouTube or Netflix or anything like that, what it does have is a good picture quality. The player does its job and does it well. The ease of use its very good, just put a disc in and hit play. Alternatively there are other items that the player can play, you can use a usb drive to playback music, view pictures or simply play a disc. This player does connect to the internet via ethernet, I believe this is mainly to update and use BD-live. Overall I am very impressed with this player and would recommend it only if you just need a 4K player, if you want a "Smart" device this item is not for you.

I got this unit as my LG TV has streaming apps. I did not need streaming on the Blu Ray. I needed a basic Blu Ray. I wanted a Blu Ray capable of playing 4K since me TV does. It plays DVDs quite well. It upgrades DVD to higher version quite well. Overall, I am pleased with my purchase.

We really love LG and this is a very nice little blu-ray player. We have another one very similar and it sort of stopped working. I called LG and no questions asked, they sent us the reimbursement for the one that stopped working, so we bought another one. You just cannot argue with that kind of customer service and we love the player.

Ok! It arrived as promised and was so easy to set up! So far, so good. I will use mostly to watch my DVDs and BR-discs for movies at home. It is very compact and lightweight, which made it easy to hook-up the power cord and HDMI cable. It took less than 10 minutes. I tested a DVD and am amazed at how much better it looks using this Blu-Ray player. Very pleased with the price, design, and intuitive hook-up! If I need the other features this player offers, it will good to know they are there to implement. Love LG products, so I am very happy with this item.

4K ROCKS! I really love the blu-rays that are upscaled to 4K. I thought Avatar was really good, now with this player - it is AMAZING! If you have a 4K tv, a 4K player is a must! This player is really nice and easy to use. This model was reasonably priced and I am more than happy with it! The 4K movies are almost to 3D quality clarity (not sure how else to describe it) with this player. I purchased a new high speed HDMI cable with it ($6), so not sure if regular HDMI cable matters or not.
