Pros Stunning HD picture and sound.
Cons Long load times, won't accept wireless internet connections; Bluray will win war.
Recommended it? Yes

I have had this LG player for about 2.5 months hooked up to a new Samsung 63" plasma and a Yamaha 5.1 surround system. The picture is very sharp with both HD and regular DVDs.

Pros ?WiFi-N works great. Netflix is flawless. DLNA off of my DNS-323 works brilliant.  
Cons 480p output is quirky and  No streaming internet radio supported.

?We have owned this for two weeks, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Setup:The wifi setup took about as much time as it takes to boot up (aka, 45 seconds), the hardest part was using the on-screen keyboard to enter my 14 character password.  We let the firmware update, which took a few minutes,...
