Super-quick boot and disc-load times, Uncluttered GUI, Rich assortment of Internet apps, Snappy response time
No Amazon Instant Video app, Remote not backlit, Case construction is flimsy, App interface is unintuitive at times
LG's BP620 may not ooze the high-end appeal of much more expensive Blu-ray players, but it delivers where it counts and does justice to LG's flagship Blu-ray player position. This machine's boot-up and disc-loading times are some of the best we've seen,...

The LG BP620 has built-in Wi-Fi, 3D compatibility, and LG's Smart TV suite of streaming-media services, which includes Netflix, Hulu Plus, Pandora, and Vudu. The user interface for the Smart TV services is the best on any Blu-ray player this year
The BP620 lacks Amazon Instant streaming, and several other services (MLB.TV, MOG) aren't available yet. The remote doesn't have dedicated buttons for Netflix or to jump right to the Smart TV services. And the step-down BP320 is a slightly better deal if
If you want 3D, the LG BP620 has most of the right features, but the absence of Amazon Instant and a dedicated Netflix button hurt its value a bit.
Quick to respond to inputs, Simple but attractive and intuitive interface, Excellent range of features and apps
No rear USB port, Some interface niggles
As 3D, Smart Blu-ray players go, the LG BP620 is one of the best. It's not especially expensive, it's got all the features we want, and it's generally easy to use and quick to operate. Apart from a few small issues with the interface, we found the BP620 t...

Great value for money (performance, hardware), Power use under 10 W, Rips audio CDs to MP3 files, Reproduces Bluray images accurately
LG's Smart TV portal is disappointing
There's no doubt that the LG BP620 is a top-value Blu-ray player. But is it worth the extra money compared with genuinely entry-level models? Not if you're looking for great-quality web-based services. However, images are reproduced accurately and DLNA co...
