This is much more than just a Blu-ray player, stepping into the domain of the media bridge too and that's no bad thing for your average consumer. It delivers all this goodness at an attractive price, and you can currently pick up the BD370 for around £150 online, which is something of a steal for this range of functions.
Sure, some might want something to collect media on their network and deliver it to their TV, but for those who are actually looking to play Blu-ray discs, then the BD370 achieves that capably and has a few tricks up its sleeves too.
These annoying quirks aside, a great picture and a truckload of multimedia goodies make the LG Electronics BD370 one of the best Blu-ray players available at its price.
The BD370 is one of the most exciting Blu-ray players to emerge in quite some time. We love the fact that LG is keen to push the technology forward, and the inclusion of YouTube access is no mere gimmick - it provides a worthwhile way of expanding the available content beyond the realms of physical media, and also gives us a tantalising taste of what the future holds for the Blu-ray format. It's a lot of fun to use and the user interface works brilliantly, although it's a shame that you can't watch HD content in its proper form.
But there are many more strings to the BD370's bow, including terrific Blu-ray picture quality, a superb operating system, BD Live access, terrific multimedia support, zippy loading times and most remarkably, an affordable price tag. We imagine it might be usurped by other players with bigger and better online capabilities later this year, but for now it's the most advanced Blu-ray deck on the market and we love it.
