So far, (day 4) super impressed with the image quality of the LG BD570. Standard DVD playback eliminates this weird digital blue haze in dark scenes that the old OPPO produces. So that's cool. Video quality of a Blu-ray disc is great, but I've only watched one movie so far. But the part about this player that I love is the wireless connection to the internet. Netflix HD movies stream perfectly and the image is amazing. Totally impressed that this is streamed content! And at no add'l cost to me...(already have a netflix account) Pandora quality is great as well. So thumbs up on DVD/Blu-ray playback and on streaming content wirelessly sans distortion or delay! Amazing Feature-Rich Player   March 12, 2010 mil_nj_24 (HOBOKEN, NJ USA) 15 out of 15 found this review helpful Pro: - High quality Blu-ray play - The best player you can get if you do not have Home Theater PC attached to your HDTV, because of the extra features - very easy Wi-Fi, Netflix, Pandora, Picasa, Youtube setup - very easy setup to connect to your home network. It finds right away the shared drives and then you can play everything from there - strait forward play of files on external drive (HDD or Flash) attached via the USB port. - plays everything, this is real DLNA. What is the point of having DLNA on Sony if it does not recognize 95% of all formats. - plays subtitles in different code pages (for foreign language subtitles; if you ever need this). - Firmware upgrade is as simple as possible - just confirm that you want the upgrade and that's it Cons: - Couldn't find any way to play Youtube videos in high definition. This is the major issue so far, hopefully this important feature will be added in future firmware release - While viewing and zooming pictures on Picasa or from an external drive, noticed that the quality is better when I view the same zoomed pictures on my PC (connected to the same HDTV). If you do not zoom the difference in quality is hardly visible. - While playing movies from the home network (in my case - High Def MPEG4 .mkv files) the controls (FF, stop, etc.) do not seem to work well. Update: Found the solution - I was using slow Wi-Fi connection, with wired connection the issue disappeared. If you have 802.11n router this shouldn't be an issue as well. the 1080P problem has been fixed.   March 22, 2010 J. Thoms 13 out of 13 found this review helpful This player comes with the resolution defaulted to 1080I instead of 1080P and has other problems in this area. Following is the text of a post I put on avforum in a thread on this issue. ###### Another update. LG BD570 will play PAL format DVDs ###### Below is a copy of a review I wrote for a Seekers DVD 9 of 9 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Warning - PAL format, October 26, 2009 Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: WORLD OF THE SEEKERS (PAL/REGION 0) (DVD Audio) This DVD is advertised as being in NTSC format but the copy I received is in PAL (European) format. Fortunately It will play on a PC using Windows Media Player. Since this was for my wife and she was content to watch it on the computer I didn't return it. I like the Seekers very much and Judith Durham has one of the all time great voices in POP music. The DVD once we were able to watch it is a loose reenactment of the groups career and all of their top songs are there in either studio or live performances and sometimes both. Audio and video are good. Other than format issues this DVD is well worth owning. I recently discovered that I can play PAL format DVDs on my new LG-BD570 Blue Ray Player. Works great. Yippee. ##### UPDATE ##### I was fiddling with the player a few minutes ago and discovered that the 1080P problem was fixed. I assume that this was done by a recent microcode update. I tested with all the scenarios listed below and it hung tight with a constant 1080P output through them all. Good job LG. It is nice to know that a company follows up on things. If I could I would now raise my rating to six. Regarding LG bd570 1080P/1080I issues. I Think LG support is blowing smoke on this problem. I hooked up my new LG BD570 to my Panasonic S2 series plasma with an HDMI connection. I was aware of the fact that the LG comes with the resolution set to 1080I so I reset it to 1080P. Here is what I found, 1. If nothing is changed, (no power off or HDMI port switch) both BDs and DVDs send a 1080P signal to the TV. 2 If I power either the TV or LG570 off the LG resolution switches to the "ANY setting and display of the input on the TV shows the signal being sent as 1080I. According to LG the "any" setting automatically adjusts output to the native resolution of the display as signaled to it by the TV through the HDMI port. As my TV is native 1080P I am not believing this unless there is a problem with the TV. I disabled the Viera Link settings on the TV as Viera link does a bunch of communication to attached devices. This didn't help. 3. If I switch the TV input to another HDMI port such as the DVR the LG switches back to the "any" setting and outputs a 1080I signal. Bottom Line: Although Having to cycle through to the setup menu and picture settings on the BD570 to get 1080P output is a pain (a total combination of nearly nearly a dozen key and arrow strokes) I am not going to pursue it any further. The picture from both blu ray and regular DVDs is terrific and in the limited comparisons I have done my non expert eyes can't detect any differences between 1080I and 1080P outputs. Other than the above issue I am very happy with the BD570 and the wireless streaming from Netflix has worked very well. These are problems that LG should be aware of by now and hopefully they will fix it. My preference would be an option to force whatever output you desire that can only be manually changed. **** UPDATE *** After having a few more days to play with this player I am raising my rating from 4 stars to 5 stars. The 1080P thing is still annoying but I have been able to halve the number of keystrokes to change it. Everything else about this player is really first rate. The Netflix streaming has worked flawlessly so far and the onscreen movie selection feature is real nice. Best of all the up conversion of regular DVDs is terrific. In the early part of "The Mission" movie the scenes with the waterfalls are amazing. The Pink Floyd "Pulse" DVD also looks great and of course sounds terrific. LG BD 570 compared to Sony BDP-S570   June 10, 2010 Peter W. Broido (Chicago, IL USA) 11 out of 11 found this review helpful Having been bitten by the blu ray bug, I initially purchased a LG BD370. I liked the machine a great deal, had several questions and called LG technical support which at best was indifferent. I decided I wanted a second blu ray player and would not reward LG, so I purchased a Sony BDP-S570. It came, set up was arduous as I didn't realize at first that you can scroll both up and down but eventually I got the machine working. I did however have compatibility problems. The Sony using HDMI tried to take over my Samsung LCD TV. The two fought a great deal and I ended up calling Sony support. The support person, unlike the one I spoke to at LG was very helpful, caring etc. We spent about an hour trying to make the two products compatible without success and I returned the Sony. As the older LG had worked well with my Samsung, I purchased the BD 570. The following are my observations on my system. From the time I took the LG out of the box to connecting it wirelessly to my WiFi router, setting up Netflix and Pandora took less than 15 minutes. After I set up the LG and turned it off and then on, it asked me if I wanted to upgrade the software which it did in less than 10 minutes. This entire process was much easier on the LG than the Sony. The Sony promises to be upgradeable to 3 D, the LG is not upgradeable to 3 D. The Sony offers connections to more movie and internet programs than one can imagine. The LG offers many less but has the only two I care about Netflix and Pandora. Start up( from the time the player is turned on until you can use it) was well over 2 minutes for the Sony and well under a minute for the LG; note other reviewers have said boot time for the Sony was quick but that was not the case in my system. I think the quality of a blu ray movie is slightly better with the LG - give the Sony a 94 and LG a 98 - not much but enough so I could see a difference. The Netflix menu is much nicer and more user friendly with the LG. In both players you see a list of your instant movies but if you want to go to a description it requires more steps in the Sony - not that it is bad, the LG is easier and nicer. With regards to upscaling conventional DVDs, both players do a very good job. I did not play any old DVDs which were formatted for older cathode ray TVs on the Sony. They present in the 4:3 format on the LG and you can manually make them full screen. This is not an automatic process on the LG. I did not play an older DVD on the Sony so I don't know how it handles older DVDs formatted for a cathode ray TV. The instruction book for the Sony is useless. It refers you to the Sony website for virtually all answers. I might add, I didn't care for the web site either; this begs the question why do they have an instruction book? The LG instruction book does actually have instructions in it and seemed fairly complete. Had I not had compatibility issues, I probably would have kept the Sony although I found the long time to boot up very annoying. I'm glad I got the LG, I think it has a better blu ray picture. Expectations Exceeded!   March 5, 2010 Scott A. Benner (Charlotte, NC USA) 11 out of 12 found this review helpful I got this player last evening, and am very pleased with it, so far. The first thing I liked was its small size -- just 1.7" tall and 8" deep. It's also simple and understated in appearance; I like the flip-down front panel. I was able to connect to my wireless router very quickly with no problems whatsoever. I was slightly worried about how stable the connection would be, since my router is upstairs and on the other side of the house, but I watched an entire Netflix movie with no hitches or hesitation whatsoever, and with excellent image and audio quality. I also listened to Pandora, watched a YouTube video and played a portion of a DVD (non-Blu-Ray), and all worked beautifully. I haven't yet watched a Blu-Ray DVD with this player, but I expect that to work fine, as well. I'm very happy with this player, its features and price. No complaints so far!
