LGBP175 Blu-Ray DVD Player, with HDMI Port Bundle (Comes with a 6 Foot HDMI Cable)

I recently took possession of a new 5th wheel. It came with a beautiful 4K TV but the player was not Blu-ray. I didn't need or desire any extra features. All I want is something insanely simple to play my disks when being outside just isn't practical.I am in heaven! I removed the unit from the box and it had everything I needed. I hooked it up, turned it on, and inserted a disk. I sat down, turned on the TV, and selected the correct HDMI port, and the unit was already ready for me to hit play.I was very pleased, and it got much better.The quality was great. The screen looked fantastic and have had no issues.I will soon be buying more. My Front 5th wheel bedroom also could use this, and it's very compact. My semi can also use one, and it will be a great addition. My home bedroom also could use one. While I have a full feature Blu-Ray there, my wife is in the beginning stages of dementia, and this unit is very simple to use. If I had younger kids, I could see them benefit from the simplicity of this unit.I plan to buy more, and if you are looking for a unit to use in your RV, you should really look at this one.

I bought this blu-ray player largely for playing discs, when my old DVD player died. (I have a pretty good library of DVDs accumulated over the years and wanted to be able to continue watching them.) I have a smart TV and didn't need the player for its internet features, so I can't comment on those. I will say that it is not wireless and requires an ethernet cable to connect to the internet, which could be inconvenient.This player works wonderfully for everything from brand new blu-ray discs to DVDs I have had for close to 15 years. I can even play DVDs I recorded myself on an old VHS/DVD recorder. I'm pleased with the picture quality -- it's better with the DVDs than the old player was. On a few of the oldest DVDs, the menu feature doesn't work so well (I sometimes have to re-insert the disc to get to the main menu), but on the newer ones it's fine, as it it with all the blu-ray discs I have tried.I also like that it is quite small, and actually fits under my TV. Overall, a nice product at a very reasonable price.

This is a low-cost Area A/Region 1 player, though I have seen "hacked" versions that will do discs from other regions, for nearly double the price. However, many US-market players will not work with region/area free discs made for European television standards which use a 50 Hz frame rate. The Greed of George Westinghouse extends into the 21st century -- he was responsible for 60 Hz power being the US standard to lock out European competition for his power equipment, and the video industry has long taken advantage of the frame-rate difference for similar purposes -- though it shouldn't happen where the discs are "Region/Area Free." This player also works with "region free" DVDs from the land of PAL, though it "properly" rejects Region 2 discs.I strongly recommend downloading the 62-page Owner's Manual from LG's website, since the supplied "Simple Manual" covers only the basic connections, and these players have a lot of features that may not work as expected. There have been a few comments about trouble with the sound, so I've added a picture showing where the settings can be found. While monaural is just fine for most things I watch, the manual notes that if "Audio Guidance" (whatever that is) is set to "on" the digital audio output will be PCM, regardless of other settings, preventing DTS audio from being sent, and you will be stuck with just primitive 2-channel stereo.I have not tried the "streaming" features, which need a wired internet connection (no Wi-Fi) and my main interest was in playing the BBC's area-free discs.Physically, the player reflects its low cost, but seems adequate for most purposes, unless you want to play 3D or 4K discs. There is a light indicating the machine is turned on, but it is quite dim. No other illumination comes from the front panel, so checking how much time remains on a program requires bringing up an on-screen display. Also, the only output is HDMI, making it a little difficult to connect to many audio systems. The remote is small and cheaply made, but it works well. It needs to be pointed with some accuracy at the player, which I prefer since I also have an older LG model and don't want both players to operate at the same time.While I'm not enthusiastic about having another "wall-wart" power supply to fit into the tangle of extension cords, this one is at least fairly small. The supplied adapter is 120V only.Amazon seems to ship these from a variety of dealers; as noted in other reviews, accessories may not always be exactly as shown. I don't know how long it will last, but for well-under $100, this seems to be a fine Blu-ray player.

This was a excellent choice. So far every time I’ve bought a dvd player it seems to only last about 5 years and then I have to replace it. Don’t know why they don’t make them to last longer than that. I read a lot of reviews before making this purchase. I’m not a super expert on technical things but this dvd player was super easy to connect and ready to play movies on within minutes. One of the reasons I chose this one was because I already had the connection cord for the internet. Can’t remember what it’s called. I also already had the HDMI cord so now I have a backup if needed. This dvd player isn’t very big either so it doesn’t take up much space at all. It does come with a remote control and the buttons take a bit to get used to but that’s to be expected. So far we love it. I think you will too if you’re looking for a new one. And it is blu-ray.

Arrived on time and undamaged, remote works great, plugged into ethernet and can also stream prime video, youtube and netflix from this (I have a roku TV so no real need but would be awesome for non smart or older TV's and if you don't have HDMI there are converters from HDMI to Composite. Would definitely be a great way to modernize older TV's , the playback is sharp and crisp and controls are great for DVD/Blu Ray playback
