LG BD390 standalone Blu-Ray player

Posted by John on 9th September 2009

Stumbled across a standalone Blu-Ray player from LG called the BD390.  LG BD 390 Network Blu-ray Disc Player

This looks to be a forward-thinking product, since it includes both wireless 802.11n capability, and an RJ-45 ethernet jack. I realize that wireless and ethernet are not new in this application, but I’m hoping the ethernet is gigabit to go with the current fastest consumer wireless speed.

The full array of features listed at http://www.lge.com/us/products/documents/h_lg_he_dav_ss_bd390.pdf sure sound good; it’s certainly not the least expensive of players, but if I want to be able to push .iso DVD images and HD .mkv files at it, I’d expect it to have some horses. Sometimes, having one of the home NAS’s at 6T capacity is nice ;)

Haven’t found any good independent reviews for it yet but haven’t looked further than LG’s recommended review list either. Was a good morning stumble, tech wise.
