LG BD630 Network Blu-ray Disc Player: It May Very Well Be The Right One For You

By Shai Warne


The LG BD630 Network Blu-ray Disc Player will not give you that high-quality when you see it, since it is very basic on the outside. The player's interface is basic with play/pause, stop and eject buttons as well as the on/off button. A USB slot is on the right side, and in the center is the disc drawer. Its sparse design and little package offers a great deal inside.

This small player features a remote with batteries included, a standard cable to connect plus a pretty good manual. The cable for power is connected, and it features a composite video out, stereo RCA audio out, Component Video and HDMI out, a Coax Digital Audio out, and you're able to connect your home network to a LAN port. Since this is a low-priced model, you can't play your video files because it's not DLNA enabled. If you want to stream videos, you will need to have an external hard disk or thumb drive. You can't enable this by way of ethernet connection but this option is available on more costly models.

You'll be able to hook up this player to a typical analogue TV or to a 1080p HDTV. You will be able to view video clips clearly as the output can match the TV's native resolution. It is possible to link an external hard drive with the USB port, or even a USB thumb drive. It could support as many as 4 drive partitions and isn't very picky about the formatting of the hard drive. It should take you just a couple of minutes to set the device up to the TV. It does not take very long for the disc player to load and present the Blu Ray disc. In general the up-conversion of DVDs is average at best but nonetheless better in comparison with older Blu-ray players. It features a solid disc tray that goes in and out easily, without any worrisome noises.

The device has the ability to update the firmware. Make use of the Lan port or get it from the LG website, and create a disc and then play it on a USB drive. It'll be interesting to watch if LG will continue to support this player when further firmware updates are needed. It is quite impressive that it can play local media files since it is a budget model. Especially when you add in Blu Ray playback that is great, quick loading times, decent up-conversions for DVDs, and a lot more, this is worth the price.

The boasts of the LG BD630 Network Blu-ray Disc Player are rather legitimate. Before you rush out to buy it, you ought to decide on a budget and calmly have a look at the other consumer reviews.
