Customer Review

All pluses of BP420 were mentioned, which I share all.
We have in the family, both models, the LG BP420, and the Sony BDP S490.

The LG is, despite recommendation to buy, a direct comparison is not without blemish:

- The LG can be determined by Act. Stand not turn Codefree. Only via Chipmod (impossible for laymen soldering work on motherboards). As a result, then, however Bluray + DVD Code Free. When Sony may (read .. like the Internet) at least the DVD-Partenkirchen are unlocked via special All4One remote control. Complicated, but it works!

- The LG does not have a web browser on board - the Sony, albeit without flash, already. Youtube, as with Sony, goes through the app.

- Not affiliated with our Panasonic TV via "VIERA Link" for LG. So keinerle control the device with the TV remote control. The Sony can, however rudimentary drive with Panasonic TV remote with his "SmartLink". So here there is a sufficient compatibility.

- The Sony has 2 USB ports. A forward for USB sticks and a back connected to the hard disk. Thus, the Sony no cable clutter. The LG only one forward.

- The Sony interface is designed intuitively for my taste. Content on the connected removable media can be daduruch scour easier.

- With the Sony allows Amazon's LOVEFiLM-stream content directly. LG knows z.Zt. only max cathedrals.

+ The Sony, however, is in fact (now and then) extremely loud! When inserting a CD (DVD, Bluray ..) always shakes the whole body, which is a slight to properly loud (well audible) hum result has (now and then)! The many vibrations are to me given the life (even if he is not buzzing) not safe.
I would therefore advise in any case to the LG! The LG runs calmly.

+ HD videos via Youtube run smoothly on the LG and without loading times. At Sony they falter more.

+ The LG plays together with AVIs of various persuasions (DIVX) and MPEG2 and MPEG1 (ancient SVCD and VCDs to disk copy) from. This makes the Sony no longer with.

+ High resolution images (JPEGs) can be zoom back happily at LG. If Sony has the feature unfortunately forgotten.

+ Modern file formats (HD-content from the Internet) or from Panasonic Camcorder (1080p mkv, directly from the camera or already processed, 2D or 3D) play both players without snags. However, at very close inspection seems to me the images on the LG va a little liquid and generally to be (most visible in 3D Inhaten) reproduced a bit sharper when network streaming.
