LG BP550

Pin-sharp pictures ; Attractive onscreen design & slick app ; Multiroom support

Lacks features found on similarly-priced players ; No optical audio output ; DVD upscaling artefacts

LG’s great-value Blu-ray deck is a no-brainer for Spotify and Now TV subscribers. It’s easy to use and delivers sizzling hi-definition pictures – but some similarly priced decks offer a bit more for the money.

It has several preinstalled apps.

It doesn’t have as many audio outputs as the best Blu-ray players.

With plenty of features like DLNA support, apps and 3D playback, the LG BP550 is a good midrange Blu-ray player, but it doesn’t play 4K content or have all the best audio outputs.

großes Webportal ; Mobil-App ; geringer Stromverbrauch ; Ladezeiten

wenige Anschlüsse ; kein Skalieren auf UltraHD

Der LG BP550 ist ein vorzüglicher Netzwerk-Player mit starkem Smart-TV-Portal, Steuerungs-App und breiter Unterstützung von Medienformaten. Für Spitzenbildqualität muss man jedoch etwas mehr Geld ausgeben.

Very easy to install and use, with very little fuss. The addition of being able to connect to the internet makes it a multi use platform, with DVD, Blueray and video streaming plus more

Not a great amount of online streaming content (where is Amazon Prime?)

It's small.

None.

Compact design, lots of features

Constantly freezes and has to be unplugged and rebooted. Went to the trouble of running an ethernet cable to it because I thought it might be a problem with the wireless connection but no better

A novice can use it first time with no problems

Totally perfect

none

Cracking picture quality and ease of use.

To much reliant on remote control if you cannot down load the app.
