My DVD collection just got a new lease of life: I bought a LG BD360 Blu-Ray disc player from Amazon. I fancy my Grandchildren would describe this as AWESOME and coupled with my LG37LH3000 telly(also from Amazon)it has changed my viewing life,as they say,forever.Setting up was easy and once installed all I had to do was switch on and sit back and let it get on with the preliminaries all automatically. I used to go to the cinema and wish I could have that sort of experience at home. Now at last I have,and I think I’ll be enjoying it for a long time. In addition to films, holiday videos and family photos can be played either from disc or USB storage devices, as also can Audio CD’s and MP3 music files. Blu-Ray discs give full 1080p output(try “Planet Earth” on this machine and you’ll be taking cover from the Lions) DVD upscaling means I get better viewing from my standard DVD’s. In addition to all this there is a direct link to YouTube. I don’t think I shall bother if 3D arrives. I’m happy with my BD360

As a Blu-ray player this is excellent, and it works well with my Panasonic Viera LCD TV in 1080i mode.
The YouTube option adds another dimension. I connected the Network connection to my BT Home Hub using an Ethernet cable and it worked immediately – no configuration was needed at all. Take a look at Pamplamoose on YouTube – they make great music videos!

Good quality player.
I bought for the ability to play MKV files in HD which it does from DVD and Dual layer disks.
The only problem with this player is that it can only see files on the USB input that are on a device (USB Drive/HD)that are formatted in FAT 32.This makes the player flawed as FAT 32 has the 4Gb file size limit. Wish LG would to a Firmware upgrade to correct this and then I’d give it five stars.

I picked up one of these from my local ASDA after they knocked a chunk off the price due to someone opening the box. I did some research before I bought it and overall the reviews were good so I pulled the trigger on it. I’m very glad I did! Even if I think there’s a few areas they could improve it’s still great for the price.
I was very interested in the Youtube feature as I enjoy quite a lot of online content and I would have to say that I’m fairly happy with it, but it’s a shame the quality isn’t as good as it can be when using youtube on your PC. You don’t get an option to play videos in 480p or 720p when it’s available so you just have to make do with the standard def, which can look a bit rubbish when viewing full screen on a HD TV. I guess they might provide an firmware update to improve on this so we’ll have to see. This is only a minor gripe as the feature works well and I will happily sit and watch various youtube videos for hours.
BluRay playback is brilliant. You can’t really knock it at all. The load times are quick enough, picture is crispy and the sound is flawless. It should be noted that I’m not an audiophile and I’m just using a 32″ Samsung LCD TV with no home theater set up so if you’ve got a serious sound system you may have a different experience. If you’re just using the speakers from your TV then you’ll be more than happy with the sound quality, I’m sure.
Another feature was the ability to playback a wide range of video file formats from USB/burnt discs. I haven’t had a chance to try out any MKV high def files yet so I can’t comment on that. AVI playback is as good as you’d expect and if you have a few avi’s in one folder it’ll play one after the other without you having to select the next file/episode, which is nice.
It’s been mentioned before, but it’ll only recognise USB devices formatted with the FAT32 file system which means that your USB flash drives will work (for files under 4gb), but you can forget about plugging in your large external hard drive as this will probably be formatted with NTFS. This is a bit of a pain for me because I would have wanted to plug in my hard drive so I could easily flick through all my videos, photos and music without having to choose a few videos that’ll fit on a flash USB stick.
I also, probably quite stupidly, assumed that because it had network capabilities that I could buy a network attached storage device and stream media from that straight to the BD360, but alas I cannot. It’s just lucky I have my Xbox 360 for this, even if the Xbox won’t play MKV’s. Once again, this isn’t a problem with the device but rather a problem with my ability to research the players functionalities.
All I’m saying is don’t fall into the same trap I did of assuming it’ll be an all singing all dancing media device just because it can hook into your network. I guess LG may release firmware to include this ability, but I doubt it.
If they did, this would be a perfect player for me!
Still, I’m very happy with this machine for the low price that it is.
You don’t have to break the bank to get a more than adequate BluRay player.
