Christmas Electronics - LG BD 390 Network Blu-ray Disc Player Review

The way that you will watch TV and movies in the future is not how you watch them right now. Several devices have come out that are redefining the way we receive our in-house entertainment. The LG BD 390 Network Blu-ray Disc Player is one of these devices.

What is a network Blu-ray disc player anyway?

I will tell you a funny story. My friend Shirley wanted to get a Blu-ray disc player because she had seen the improved video quality at her friends house. She visited Amazon.com and simply bought the best selling Blu-ray disc player, the LG BD 390.

I asked her, "Have you been downloading movies from Netflix?"

She looked at me oddly and said: "Richard, this is a Blu-ray player. I can't watch movies from the Internet!"

We had a good laugh as I said, "Shirley, this is a networked Blu-ray disc that you have. Not only can you download movies from Netflix and many other sources, you can also view the media from your computer!"

Shirley was dumbfounded as she did not realize the capabilities that her LG BD 390 Blu-ray disc offered.

If you are looking to buy a Blu-ray disc player this holiday season, you definitely want to consider this model. Why? Because it is much more that just a Blu-ray disc player.

The LG BD 390 Blu-ray disc player is a networked device. This means that the player can connect wirelessly to both the Internet and your home network. What does this offer you? Much more than a traditional Blu-ray player at about the same price.

Let's have a quick look at the features of this LG device. If you have ever wondered how to watch downloaded movies on your top rated LCD TV, this is the way to go. Of course, you could learn how to connect your computer to your TV, but this involves a bunch of wires and moving your computer. This player connects directly to several movie download sources including Netflix, Vudu, and Netcast to let you watch virtually anything instantly on your TV without the computer as a middle man.

Additionally, this device allows you to connect to your computer wirelessly and display all of your computer media files including videos, photos, and music on your television.

On top of all of these features, it is also an outstanding Blu-ray player. So, if you are thinking of getting Blu-ray this Christmas, get the one Blu-ray player that does much more, the LG BD 390 Network Blu-ray Disc Player.
