This is certainly a strong argument for getting a stand alone BluRay player in place of something like the PS3. You mention "The juddery camera pans" as being an minor issue. Is this due to the player, the TV it was connected to or simply a limitation of the 24fps format?

I notice these camera pan issues quite a lot and can't seem to reduce them regardless of the settings on my Pioneer KURO and PS3.

As a relative newcomer to the site having read the recent reviews on both the LG BD390 and Oppo 831, features aside, both models received 9/10 in terms of performance. But in terms of picture and audio quality surely they can't be on a par with a difference of £200+ in price. I'm looking to purchase my first blu ray since growing out of my ps3 and want a noticeable upgrade on these two fronts, will welcome any advice.

Thanks for the review. Have you any feedback on the DLNA performance, e.g., streaming HD content (hardwired, rather than over WiFi)?

Personally, I couldn't care less about YouTube access. Whereas support for BBC iPlayer would be very useful. Does anyone know if any of this new crop of internet enabled players have this? I've certainly not seen it mentioned in any of the reviews on here.

I want to buy a blue ray player but i'm having trouble choosing between the Samsung BD-P3600, and the LG BD 370 and 390.

Biggest issue is not the blue ray playback quality (which i think will be comparable) but the DVD upscaled playback. I seem to read in the reviews that the Samsung could be better in this respect then the LG's. It this true ?

Quite simply, the BD390 is the deck that does it all, boasting a ludicrously lengthy list of features that beggars belief at this price. We thought the OPPO BDP-831 was generous but the LG makes its spec sheet seem positively miserly. Built-in Wi-Fi is the obvious star attraction, but DLNA-certified networking, YouTube access, built-in memory, extensive format support and versatile USB playback seal the deal. And that's before we've even mentioned the ultra-speedy disc loading, brilliant operating system and impressive picture quality - all of which makes this without doubt the best value Blu-ray player on the market.
