LG BX580 3D Network Blu-ray Disc Player Review by Greg Robinson on BigPictureBigSound
2D and 3D BD from LG
Remember when a new Blu-ray Disc player was a newsworthy event in and of itself? It’s hard to believe that a mere two years ago, Blu-ray Disc player reviews concerned themselves solely with picture quality, sound quality, and disc loading speed. They had no reason to talk about much else; high definition video, lossless audio and innovative special features were still a novelty, so what more could you ask for? these days consumers are asking for a whole lot more. does the player have Netflix? what about YouTube? can it play Blu-ray 3D? will it work with wireless? does it need a Wi-Fi adapter? any Blu-ray Disc player making its debut these days can expect to be assaulted with these questions and more. Luckily, the BX580 3D Network Blu-ray Disc player with WiFi from LG seems to have all the answers.Sporting LG’s ever-evolving NetCast suite of internet apps, integrated 802.11n wireless capability, DLNA certification for home network media sharing, and Blu-ray 3D support, there’s little the BX580 can’t handle. Factor in the machine’s List Price of less than $300 – with a street price well below that – and it’s clear that LG has assembled a formidable, feature-laden player to mark its entry into the Blu-ray 3D sandbox.
