LG BP620
The basics
The LG BP620 is a 3D-capable Blu-ray player withSmart TV compatibility to work with apps offering on-demand television content and DLNA support for media streaming from a PC. The LG BP620 has built-in Wi-Fi one HDMI port, composite, Ethernet, and a USB port to let owners plug in a memory stick for sharing photos and videos.
The good
The LG BP620 is a decently-priced Blu-ray player that doesn’t skimp on the build quality. Construction all round is solid, giving the LG BP620 a good quality feel should the need to tap at it arise.
Working the main features of the LG BP620 is easy. Its user interface is dead-simple to get to grips with. A main homepage displays large icons, which mean the screen isn’t cluttered with confusion. Buttons for movies, photos and music are neatly displayed, and it’s easy to get access to apps that are handily accessed by shortcuts.
Movie playback is very good, as is file support for DivX, Xvid, MKV. MP4 and WMV all supported. Operation is delightfully nimble, too. Some Blu-ray players can take an age to boot up and load discs, but not the LG BP620 - discs start-up from being inserted in the disc tray in around one minute. When they do, colours are rich, without any real sign of wash-out or greying in darker scenes.
The bad
Although the LG BP620 lets you playback files from a memory stick, doing so can be slow and cumbersome, with the LG BP620 taking a little than it should to open each folder. It may not sound much, but it makes navigating each one feel like a chore.
Some apps can also take a little longer to download than they should, and it’s not possible to shortcut some of the more premium apps such as Youtube and Netflix.
The bottom line
The LG BP620 is a handy all-rounder with all the necessary Smart TV features to put this LG Blu-ray player up there with the best of ‘em, and reliable performance to make it well worth considering.
