Akin to the BD370, the BD390 has
increased Internet content in the shape of LG's own NetCast
Entertainment Access, this not only provides admission to the NetFlix
Hi-def streaming functionality initially present in their BD300, but
provides access to YouTube and PPV High definition movies via an
alliance with CinemaNow. LG electronics states that feature presents
users with access to over 13,000 titles from the major film studios,
broadcast and cable small screen shows, over 200 separate big screen
titles and music videos from all major labels plus the many free to
stream videos offered from YouTube. The inclusion of a USB 2.0 port, as
well, ensures that viewing content stored on a USB stick won't be a
problem.Having access to all that content causes you to question whether you will ever need to put a real Blu-ray DVD inside the machine. But if you do, you will realize the many devices will be BD Live capable and include BonusView features for picture-in-picture access to individual features. This enables consumers to concurrently watch motion picture scenes and extra bonus features on suitable disks. Typical DVDs are upscaled to 1080p through HDMI, whereas Blu-ray disks are able to be enjoyed at twenty four or sixty frames per second by Cinema style. Audio credentials consist of Dolby True HD/Digital + and DTS-High definition decoding features with surround sound backing for up to 7.1 channels.
The foremost difference regarding the BD370 and BD390 relates to the addition of integral Wi-Fi for wi-fi connectability to your home network that makes the most of all that internet based content, as well as inclusion of 1GB of built-in memory so Bd live content should be accessed without the need for a USB stick.
This BD390 is on the market along side all LG's further award winning systems and the same as with many other Blu-ray players, these are now falling quite rapidly in affordability.
