Top Tips When Buying the wonderful Lg Blu Ray

By Sheila Kim


LG Electronics, located in South Korea, is one of the largest manufacturers of consumer electronics. They have rolled out a very impressive line of blu-ray players. Here are some of the major features offered in various models of LG bluray player.

Blu-rays are optical discs that look like the DVDs that took the home video world by storm a few years ago. They can store much more than DVDs, and can provide video with a much higher resolution. The DVD videos have 480 lines, but the blu-rays have 1080. This higher resolution makes a big difference in image quality on a good television.

All of the LG players support the blu-ray standard, including high resolution video and enhanced digital sound. They all support older media including DVDs, audio CDs, and many other formats. DVD video is upscaled to 1080P for superior video quality. They all have the ability to play content from USB storage devices. They support BD-Live, which provides Internet access to extra content related to a specific blu-ray disc

All of the players can retrieve content from the Internet using an Ethernet link. Accuweather, YouTube, and Picasa are available on all of them. Some models expand this to also include Vudu, Netflix, Pandora, and Roxio CinemaNow. This feature is probably redundant for people who connect a computer to their television. For the large numbers for whom this is not practical, it opens the door to a new way of enjoying these sources. Enabling groups to watch them together on a large screen is a big plus.

The BD570 has Wi-Fi connectivity built in. This can be very helpful for installations that don't easily support running a cable from the player to a router. It also has Home Link. This feature enables the player to fetch and play content that is on networked computers in the home. It supports the expanded set of Internet content providers.

The BD590 has a 250GB hard drive. It can use this to store content such as videos, music, and photos. It has the potential to be the family archive for this material. Its built in Wi-Fi makes it very location flexible.

The BX580 has 3d capability. There is not a lot of 3d material available yet, but there are some 3d blu-ray discs now. Those who have been exposed to 3d movies in theaters may find the draw of this capability hard to resist. This should be an area for great expansion in the near future.

LG provides good choices for people who are interested in joining the blu-ray game. As a leader in electronics for the home, they provide a range of choices to support different interests and budgets. Checking out the LG bluray player family should be part of the shopping for those in the market.
