The player was a bit finicky with some of my most well-worn discs I encountered some skipping issues that I don't experience with my Oppo players. You can enable 24p playback via the Settings menu if you want to output Blu-ray films at their native 1080p/24 resolution.

The Home page's Premium menu is where you'll find the streaming services: as of this writing, the list includes VUDU, Hulu Plus, Amazon Video, YouTube, Spotify, Netflix, CinemaNow, Pandora, MLB.TV, Rhapsody, vTuner, AP, Viewster, and spot for "coming soon." Apps like Netflix, VUDU, and YouTube were slower to load than they are through dedicated players like the Amazon Fire TV and NVidia Shield, but playback was generally smooth and glitch-freeĪs for disc playback, the BP550 loads DVD and Blu-ray discs very quickly. Via USB, playback started much more quickly, and everything played smoothly and reliably.įor music playback, the inclusion of a dedicated Repeat button on the remote makes it easy to control the repeat and shuffle functions and, through a press of the G (green) button, you can easily send your music to external LG Music Flow speakers, if you own them.

The same was true when I used PLEX to stream from my Mac many of my movies weren't available to play.

Via DLNA, longer movies were very slow to load (via a wired or wireless connection), and many of the movie files on my Seagate server just didn't appear in the LG menu, even though they were in compatible formats. Compatible formats include MPEG2, MPEG4 AVC, VC1, MKV, AVCHD, MOV, M4V, WMV, WMA, MP3, AAC, WAV, and AIFF. Again, the BP550's menu system is cleanly laid out and easy to navigate. I experimented with personal file playback using both DLNA and USB sources. The interface makes it easy to quickly navigate to any desired content. Ditto if you plug in a USB drive with media content. If you've set up the network connection and you've got a DLNA media server, it will show up down there, too. If a disc is inserted in the drive, for instance, you'll see a Blu-ray/DVD icon down there. Below that, you can see what sources are available within the Movie, Photo, and Music categories, as well as the most popular streaming apps listed under the Premium category. In the center of the screen are icons for Movie, Photo, Music, Premium, and Settings. It puts everything you need right there on one screen. I like the clean layout of the Home page. The BP550 is set to "quick start" by default, which allows the unit to power up and get you to the Home page in less than two seconds. The BP550 does not include Miracast or another technology for sharing content between your smartphone/tablet and the Blu-ray player.

The control app offers the full complement of remote buttons and a direct SmartShare screen to cue up personal media files. The remote lacks dedicated buttons to launch Netflix or other streaming services, but you can find those buttons in the LG AV Remote Control app for iOS and Android, which also includes a Private Sound mode that allows you to listen to the BP550's audio through your phone's headphone output. The Home button is easy to find, thanks to its bright blue color. The supplied remote lacks backlighting but has a clean, logical button arrangement, and it includes TV controls like power, input, and volume. Around back, you'll find one HDMI 1.4 output, a coaxial digital audio output, and an Ethernet port.

The front panel has a slide-out disc tray to the left to the right are eject and power buttons, plus a Type A USB port for media playback. The only unique element about its appearance are the small diamond-shaped etchings all over the black cabinet. The BP550 is a small, simple black box, measuring 10.6 inches wide by 7.7 deep by 1.7 high and weighing just 1.9 pounds. That's the model I recently picked up at my local Best Buy for $89.99. At a $99.99 MSRP, the top-of-the-line BP550 has everything found in the lower-tier models and adds 3D playback capability. The basic BP225 (MSRP $79.99) offers only a wired Internet connection, while the step-up BP350 ($84.99) adds built-in Wi-Fi. All three include a smart Web platform, giving you access to streaming services like Netflix, Amazon, Hulu Plus, YouTube, and Spotify, as well as the ability to stream personal media files over DLNA or USB. LG's 2015 Blu-ray lineup includes three models: the BP225, BP350, and BP550.
