This was my first Blu-ray player purchase, and I wish it had worked out well. My issue was that anything played over HDMI from this player (Blu-ray, Netflix, DVD) gets audio distortion after it’s been playing a while (anywhere from 20 to 40 mins). I tried multiple programs through Netflix, Defiance and New Moon Blu-rays, and The Hurt Locker on DVD that all had the same issue. Curiously enough The Dark Knight played fine, but 1 out of 3 Blu-rays playing correctly isn’t going to cut it.
I think I went above and beyond as a consumer to try to fix the issue. Keep in mind I’m no Blu-ray or audio home theatre expert, but I think I covered all the bases. I made sure the player’s firmware was up to date. I swapped out the HDMI cable, same issue. I went through all the audio and some of the display options one by one without any luck. I changed audio settings on my TV (a 1080p Vizio bought hardly a month ago), no dice. I hooked the player up to a significantly older 720p Vizio which seemed to work fine, weirdly enough, but I didn’t buy it to work with that TV. Also, it worked with the RCA cables (oh boy!). I hooked up a PS3 to the TV and the audio played flawlessly through an entire Blu-ray movie (one of the ones the LG had issues with), confirming my belief that the issue is not the HDMI cable or the TV. Thinking I had a bad unit, I returned it to Best Buy and exchanged it for another LG BD570 only to experience issue deja-vu. As a last ditch effort, I called LG customer support who, over the course of two different calls, had me fiddle some settings and then declared that they had no idea what the issue was and that I would need to send the unit in for service…right. So the LG BD570 is going to be returned again, and I’ll go with a Sony instead.
However, aside from the unsolvable audio issues, I enjoyed everything else about the player. It’s just too bad I like to hear my movies too.

I knew I’d get great quality video, audio and adaptability to other services (Netflix, etc;) but the interface with my main PC was an unexpected joy.
Thru the built in WiFi I can access my photos AND recorded videos.
TV I record on my PC plays great (using TV tuner card) Hauppauge 1213 WinTV-HVR-2250 Dual Hybrid PCI-E TV Tuner Board with Media Center Remote Control and Receiver and I wonder who really needs to pay for TiVo!
We waited for this one and it was worth it.

This device has great image quality and very good support for a variety of video/audio formats. But the interface feels kind of slow when moving around, and has some problems reading subtitles from specific MKV files. The good thing is that LG is always releasing software updates via internet, and may fix the problem eventually.
The Picture Quality for Blu-rays and for video files are Superb. It can read MKV, DivX HD, MP4 (not .mov though) and a lot more with ease, with its respective external subtitles with no problem most of the time.
The Wi-Fi atribute and extras in this Device are excellent add-ons, and it also supports Flash Drives and HDD Drives via USB 2.0 with no problems at all. It has no internal storage memory, instead you need to plug-in a USB Flash drive so the BD-Live features could be downloaded and played correctly.
This is overall a very good BD player, just with some issues that I hope LG could solve some day.
I would recommend it for most users.

I bought this as a replacement for a BD390 which I loved but, decided to stop reading discs.
The BD570 is an excellent replacement with one complaint. It seems to have trouble playing certain mkv files. When I play these files, the BD570 immediately freezes up and I have to pull the power cord to get it going again. This is strange as I was able to play these files on the BD390 with no problem. I am hoping that LG will fix this with a firmware update.
I really like the capability of playing media on the LG that I have shared on my PC. LG by far makes playing my files from the PC through my network as simple as possible.
Having access to you tube and Accuweather on my LG is a big bonus as well.
DVDs look and sound great.
