Review on πŸ“€ LG BP175 Blu-Ray DVD Player with HDMI Port Bundle - Includes 6 Foot HDMI Cable by KWALICABLE by David Epps

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good no-frills Blu-ray player

It works, and that's pretty much everything you'd want in a $60 Blu-ray player. Assuming you're using an LG TV, Simplink works well, meaning you can use the TV remote to control the player. There's a slightly confusing frame rate setting that lets you choose between 24Hz or 60Hz. I recommend choosing 24 as this is the natural frame rate for most BD movies and the player will still output a higher frame rate when the original content is encoded in it. beam player. That means the maximum resolution is 1080p. Even upconverted 4K TVs cannot change the original resolution. Also, it doesn't support wireless internet, which means you'll need a wired ethernet connection if you want to use (limited) smart features like Netflix. Again, these aren't flaws: just what you'd expect from a $60 Blu-ray player. LG sells a more expensive model (UBK90) that converts to 2160p UHD and offers wireless internet connectivity.
