Blu Ray & HD-DVD Players > LG Blu Ray & HD-DVD Players

Advantages: Get all the quality of HD without the pricey cost of most others
Disadvantages: Takes quite a bit of time to boot up

I received a gift card to Sears and bought this blu ray player while it was on sale so ended up getting it for really cheap. It was on sale for $300 and after my gift card I paid under $200. I wanted to take the next step in DVD technology but without paying the hefty price so I decided to go with this cheaper model...that is the only reason I went with this one. The quality of video is amazing. I thought I wouldn't notice the difference between ...
...I was dead wrong. I will say that the bigger the TV you have to watch this on the better it will look. You do not lose resolution with the larger TV sets so you don't get that boxy break up thing you get on your computer sometimes when watching video (pixilation for you techy people). The only downside to this player is that it takes quite a long time to boot up. You literally have to turn it on and then walk away for a minute or two and then come ... Read review

Advantages: Exceptional picture, works with non blu-ray dvds,
Disadvantages: Pricy, slow processing time

We LOVE our Blu-ray disc player. You don't even need to buy the expensive blu-ray dvd's to get a great movie experience! We get amazing picture and sound, the best I've ever seen with both types of dvds. It's almost sureal how good the picture is. The only problem we've had is that it is sensitive to any small defects in the dvd. The player takes a long time to turn on, warm up, and read a dvd, which is a little annoying. It is also a bit difficult ...
...the player doesn't respond right away or register the signal, and if trying to go 3x fast you have to perfectly time how you hit the forward button. We have gotten the hang of it now, but it took some getting used to. Overall we love it, so if you're a movie fanatic this is for you! ... Read review

Advantages: great picture, easy to use
Disadvantages: may be a bit pricey

Having this amazing device in my home feels like an honour. I can't believe the incredible graphics this thing is capable of! I own many blu-ray movies, namely spiderman 3, dragon wars, irobot and black hawk down and, seriousely, I can't stop showing them off to my mates on this player! On a HD TV with full 1080p the picture is sublime. The picture is amazingly sharp, and so detailed. You can now see the spots Will Smith has that you never knew ... Read review

Advantages: Sound & Vision Quality amazing
Disadvantages: XBox fans noisy

This is a great unit now that the price has dropped so much. It was €200 and is Now approx €60. The movies are also dropping in price rapidly and I just bought 16 titles for €160. The quality cannot be compared to DVD it's completely on another level and with 5.1 surround sound you really get a cinematic experience. The only flaw I find is that the Xbox fans whirling in the background can be distracting at quiet parts of movies but you learn to ... Read review

Advantages: Easy to use and cheaper movies
Disadvantages: There not making movies or players any longer.

I personally have now come to love the HD DVD player thats for the x-box. After my boyfriend bought it I was a little apprehensive about it seeing as Blue Ray was about to win the race but I have to say I have love watching movies on it. The picture quality is amazing and the movies seem so real and like your actually in the theater. When I got the device it came with a free movie and then we also go 6 other free movies after we sent in the paperwork. ...
...is going to buy this or the movies which makes the DVDs and player cheaper right now and I assume the prices will just keep going down. I really the HD DVD better then the Blue Ray because I think they have a better picture and the sound is great as well. From the movies I've seen on both players I was glad that I have the HD DVD player. ... Read review
