What's the difference between the LG BD570, BD580 and BD590? We are finally upgrading to a BluRay player and from reading reviews on several brands, it sounds like LG has the navigation and performance down best... but now how do I decide?

The only difference between the BD570 and the BD590 is that the BD590 has a built in 250GB hard drive in it. Other then that, the BD590 has a bigger foot print than the BD570. I own both the 570 and the 590. I haven't used the hard drive yet but you can store music, pictures, videos and movies on it. For a few dollars more it is worth it (for me) to get the BD590.

I pre-ordered when it became available again. Everything I read regarding the BD-UP5000 has been very favorable. A user review on the AVS forum for the new LG combo has pointed out some flaws, especially with SD DVD playback. I only have room for one machine and the Samsung looks to be worth the wait. I hope it is not delayed further.

I got an extremely good deal on the 550, I paid for the 550 brand new ($319; amazon/free 2 day shipping) and it only cost me $20 more than the 350 ($299 at wal-mart). I have no problems with the 550 at all. It's played every blu ray I've put in it.

I have been happy with my LG. I think Samsung is a great option when on sale. The Sony's have seem to have lost their technology edge and are a little overpriced, but worth it if you find them on sale.

I believe the BDPS6200 is the newest 4k Sony player out. Not sure on the other brands.

Peter, can you share names / websites of these independent sellers of blu-ray disc players? I'd like a blu-ray disc player that plays PAL and NTSC blu-ray and DVD discs from all regions (if such players are available). Thank you.

What if I have an old Naiamichi analog receiver (pre-surround sound). Is it worth it to go for the BD80, over the BD60, because of the "high clarity audio" feature? I do have an HDTV. In theory, with the BD80, you can connect HDMI to the HDTV and then audio to the analog receiver and have better sound quality, but I don't know if the difference is noticeable. What do you think?

i understand but that isn't an issues while i got a DLNA Sony TV, so it seems BDV-S370 is the best option unless BDV-S570 would be able to increase the quality from my downloaded movies, then it would be a great investment.HOWEVER, SONY web says clearly that BDV-S370 does have DNLA support, so i demand to AMAZON.COM to confirm this information in order to give the best customer services.

I pre-ordered this model as opposed to the LG combo. The reason is because the Samsung upscales DVDs to 1080p, while the LG upscales them to only 1080i. While this certainly is not a deal breaker to most, it is to me. Also the LG is $200 more.

What about the L-Max graphics when attached to the tv? I'm looking for a back-up for the time when my L-Max goes again (already did once, and they did refurb it for $50, but for $15, this would be a much better option for all the cartridges we already have...we rarely play this on the road). Can anyone compare the graphics from the L-Max on the tv set to this on the same tv? I would think they'd be the same, since the cartridges are the same, but I'd love to know for sure...

LG BD270 Blu-ray Disc PlayerI experience picture freezing after 17 minutes on the LG. Perform a skip back and the picture would freeze again, etc. Tried powering off and playing again, still the same problem. Any one else have this or is it unique to this unit?

Did you go with the TX-SR606? I got it a few months ago and love it. It's a bit large but it handles all audio formats, so I'm happy with it. With HDMI cables (as with speaker cables) name brand means nothing. You will save a bundle if you just go with the cheapest ones you can find. Best Buy tries to sell the Monster brand HDMI cables for a hundred bucks or more. That is robbery. I got my three Belkin HDMI cables at Target for $40 each and I paid too much. Just get anything you see that is version 1.3 or better. As far as Blu-Ray goes, the PS3 is the best thing out there. It's a bit expensive though. So if you're trying to save some money, I have seen some good reviews for the Sony BD-S350. The DMP-BD55K looks nice too, as does the Samsung P2500. When it comes to deciding which one to buy, it all boils down to cost vs. benefit.

Well it looks like the 47LW6500 is a Black Friday deal per http://bfads.net. My question though is will this TV decrease in price for Friday? Currently bfads says TBD for the price, so it seems that it will drop in price tomorrow. Anyone have any ideas if that is true?

to try and offer some advice: i just upgraded from the BDP83 to the BDP93, i have only watched 1 Blu on the new one (BDP93) but was amazed at the pic quality i had the BDP83 for almost a year before upgrading and the only issue i had was watching LOTR extended versions on DVD and would see a 'hiccup" every so often - i believe this was where they added the extended footage in - otherwise i NEVER had a single issue with my player with an Oppo or PS3 OR whatever bluray player you have or decide to buy i always make sure the firmware is updated to resolve any 'issues" you may have best of luck to you

Does anyone know if there is a patch for multi-region viewing on the BD570 yet? It's been a great machine, but we watch international DVDs and it's a pain to have two machines for this purpose only!Thanks for any help I can get on this.Tim

Amazon emailed me to answer this question. I was very dissapointed in the LG BP06LU10. I cannot answer the question. I returned the LG BP06LU10 since it would not playback BluRay discs even though it would burn them. LG tech support was useless to resolve the issue and their solution was to spend another $100 for additional software from Cyberlink, and they couldn't tell me if it would then playback BluRay. The vendor just refered me to LG support so I returned the drive and got a refund. You might find support at Lightscribe.com, the inventors of the technology. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I literally just ordered a KDL-W3000 52 inch television 1 hour ago. I did 3 months of research and although I am not sure how I'll fell when I get the television, I can say that I went for the w3000. I looked at some seocnd tier brands first, but quickly moved on to the main brands.... settling in on the Sharp D64 or a Toshiba 167 or the Sony W3000. Of course the Sony was the most expensive of the brands I was looking at. As far as picture and blur: I can not even tell you if I could see any difference between the w3000 and the XBR, so I went for the XBR. I did see one scene in a movie where I saw a slight amount of motion blur, so I am sure it exists.. the quesiton is, "how bad does the blur appear to you and what is it worth for you to minimize the blur" ? For me... the answer was in my order.. I went with the W3000. The price was $2309 no tax, no delivery fee.
