LG370 and390 bluray players.. Just what is the difference in these two blu-ray players?

The 390 has wi-fi while the 370 has ethernet, the 390 has 1GB built in hard drive for your Profile 2.0 download material (for the 370 you would have to use a separate USB thumdrive), and can read .mkv and divx files. It also has analogue audio out if your receiver doesn't get audio from HDMI, so you can get the HD audio formats with older recievers. If that is worth $100 for you, then go for the 390.

Laurence, I've been doing a lot of research on these various Sony models (S,V,W, etc) and it appears that the S models do not have 120 hz refresh - only 60 hz - may be reason why they are the least expensive of all the models. Also, this 24p compatibility apparently only functions with Blu Ray players! Interesting. jm

My player doesn't upscale very well at all. And, I am hooked up using HDMI. No way does Blu-ray Disc compare to HD DVD. I used to have an HD-XA2 and an HD A35 and those players were amazing at upscaling. Sometimes you couldn't tell the difference between high-def and standard def.

Where are you from Scott Meek? From what I've read, the BD-P1500 only has a divx firmware update for players in the UK. That kinda screws everyone else. And if you want to use blu ray 2.0, you need to update the firmware and have at least a 1 gig flash drive attached in the back. I hope Samsung will eventually release firmware to make all the Bd-P1500's divx capable.

Hi! I purchased the BPD-BX39 only because it came with the HDMI Cable already. I believe they are the same model DVD/Blu-Ray players, and the other didn't come with the HDMI Cable. I hope that helps!

Dear Peter, Thanks for your inquiry. Since there are no 4K or UHD discs available, the Blu-ray player itself does not upscale. There are however, many audio receivers that do upscaling and perhaps that is what you are asking. Hope that makes things clearer for you. Regards, Eric Cohen World Wide Stereo

James, do you have an HDMI connection on your cable box and or other peripherals (DVD, bluray etc)? Optical is a good solution for component or analog video connections with digital audio (surround sound) decoders. If you have HDMI then your best possible video and audio solution is to go directly from your cable box and DVD/bluray with HDMI cables which would carry 1080p (high definition) video as well as 7.1 surround sound on a single cable. If this option is out of the question then you could go the lesser quality route of using optical connection into 2 inputs on the rear of the v375. This unit would replace your current surround processor. Any further questions feel free to reply!

The 6700 has 2 HDMI outputs, HDMI2 outputs audio to a sound system; there also is a size difference. For detailed comparison, go to Samsung website at this address {http://www.samsung.com/us/video/bluray-players} where you can select the two models to compare features side by side. Here are two reviews: Samsung BD-F5900: http://reviews.cnet.com/blu-ray-players/samsung-bd-f5900/4505-9991_7-35669759.html Samsung BD-F6700: http://www.crutchfield.com/p_305BDF6700/Samsung-BD-F6700.html?tp=171

No, it's not a BluRay player, but it is 'multi-region'. Search Amazon for BluRay players if that'swhat you need.

Update: PROBLEM RESOLVED! Do you ever have those moments where you need to shove your shoe in your mouth? Well...I just did. I figured this out on my own. So glad I refused to send the BD390 in to LG for repair. Anyways, if you have this problem with any Blue Ray, try going to your home page > Setup > Network > BD-LIVE Connection, select "Prohibited." NOW try playing the Blu-ray.Band of Brothers has internet interaction. If you do not have a good internet connection, especially if you're wireless, then your Blu-ray will not play until it connects. Hope this helps! Update: PROBLEM RESOLVED! Do you ever have those moments where you need to shove your shoe in your mouth? Well...I just did. I figured this out on my own.

Unfortunately Panasonic does not make this very clear on the BluRay box. The player, depending on model is "wireless ready" but requires the LAN adapter to connect to your wi-fi as it does not have the required circuitry internally to receive and process the wi-fi signal. My Blu Ray was network ready - if I used an ethernet cable, but required the adapter for wifi. I guess it is way to sell an accessory. This is a throwback to early laptops that required a wifi usb adapter to connect.

Yeah, I'm late.....But if any new buyers are juggling this topic, I've discovered some information from researching Blu-Ray HTiB's for well over a year. In regards to the differences in the two models, the 570 can produce a stronger, crisper sound than the 370. The 570 also has built-in WiFi, you have to purchase a separate component to stream content, wireless, to the 370. The DLNA support for the 370 had been of and on, so its caused confusion. It currently supports it with the latest update.

I have only played original Bluray DVDs thru the BlueRay DVD player, not thing else, so it is unknown to me.

I'm probably going to cancel my order and go with a Blu-Ray player... also can then try to find a model that will meet 2.0 profile (as it appears this unit will clearly not) from the specs that have now been made available

The players are identical. The BX39 is a kit containing both a player and a free HDMI cable.

Did you go with the TX-SR606? I got it a few months ago and love it. It's a bit large but it handles all audio formats, so I'm happy with it. With HDMI cables (as with speaker cables) name brand means nothing. You will save a bundle if you just go with the cheapest ones you can find. Best Buy tries to sell the Monster brand HDMI cables for a hundred bucks or more. That is robbery. I got my three Belkin HDMI cables at Target for $40 each and I paid too much. Just get anything you see that is version 1.3 or better. As far as Blu-Ray goes, the PS3 is the best thing out there. It's a bit expensive though. So if you're trying to save some money, I have seen some good reviews for the Sony BD-S350. The DMP-BD55K looks nice too, as does the Samsung P2500. When it comes to deciding which one to buy, it all boils down to cost vs. benefit.
