Marie Mills from Radcliff has sent in review of LG BH200 Blu-ray player.

September 30, 2008

The front of the unit is all glossy black with a thin strip of silver along the bottom. To the far left is the Power button surrounded by a blue light. To the far right is the LED display which is a little small when viewed from a standard seating distance.

The included remote is average and it gets the job done. The area surrounding the buttons is glossy black--a poor choice since the material proved a magnet for fingerprints. There's a nice centrally located directional pad surrounded by important buttons such as Setup and Menu. Playback controls are located underneath and they are reasonably well-placed excluding the ever-important pause button hidden in the corner.

While all Blu-ray players released in 2008 have to conform to the new Blu-ray Profile 1.1 this player was released before the deadline and it only conforms to the older Profile 1.0. What this means is this player won't be able to play some picture-in-picture commentary tracks on newer discs. it's annoying to buy a Blu-ray player that doesn't give you access to all of the next-generation features.

If you've already purchased a new receiver with "DolbyTrueHD" and "DTSHS Master Audio" decoding and you don't care about "Profile 2.0" support than this player will be perfect. This is a second generation player and minor issues do exist. But you won't have to live with them forever. Firmware fixes all.
