More current technology gabs at the cost of never - unfortunately extreme batch variations in this series!

Update: 16/09/2013:
Meanwhile, I was able to find that there are considerable variations in the batch BP730 series. There are actually devices,
the work perfectly and the owners should consider themselves lucky,
but in several cases known to me, there are also devices that happy times at various functions "freeze" and only helps the power plug.
Therefore, a point deduction in the overall standings.

It is now quite amazing what you can buy for 200 years of features and technology in Bluray players, not least because of the price pressure from Sony with the PS3.

LG have long been mixed success in the top league with Bluray
and tried with a new and clever concept the PS3 in many things
outdo, the long time is a Bluray player not just a disc leno.

The device makes the TV at the same time 'smart', with an integrated Web browser or free installable Smart TV apps. Controlled the whole noticeably faster than earlier on a dual-core chip. WiFi, DLNA, NFC and Miracast (Near Field Communication), are also on board, the latter allows a direct transfer via smartphone. This is the system with the latest level of development, is apparent in the modern remote control Magic Remote, over which one like, the machine controls with a laser pointer. A "classic" remote control, there is no more now!

Needless almost to note that the player can play 3D discs. It should be stressed that the player "normal" HD Blurays can upscale to Ultra HD standard. (2160 p mode!)

Of course, you also need an Ultra HD Flat TV. In "normal" full HD devices the function brings So, at first nothing and is intended for the future.
Future-proof the device is so also.

The build quality is adequate for the price, that is, one must wonder not expect. The drive is one of the fastest stand-alone drives, which are currently on the market. 8 seconds boot time must first be undercut. Reliable plays the player actually everything from what 'some' is, in other words except DVD-RAM he plays everything! Operation of the drive is perceptible, but not annoying.
For the price you can not expect a better design of the player, however,
disappointed the display. Normally you would have to deduct a star here, but
the player makes up for it with the extremely deliberate embellishment.

The picture and sound quality is in DVD and Bluray always pleasing quality depending on the medium and output source. The film detection works reliably. Even a completely effective working Video Equalizer is on board.
Whether CD / DVD or Bluray 'the inserted media can be identified by Gracenote. 'Focal specialists' will enjoy the fact that this material is played just as reliable and no dropouts as the 'squeezed' media.

In Tonauswahlmenü you can choose between 'Primary Pass-Thru' or 'DTS re-encode'. Just Dolby Digital material benefits from the DTS re-encode the device. An exciting feature!

A purchase criterion for me was the flawless playback of HD Satstreams that can Vedas burned to 'normal' DVDs in the AVCHD standard, but the full Full HD
Have functionality! Previously, I had a lot (even much) more expensive Blurayplayer that do not play these special AVCHD discs or only with sound without a picture! This LG model can flawlessly!

3D Blurays be detected perfectly and the player passes the 3DSignale incl. 3DKennung to the appropriate 3DFlat TV on. Particularly pleasing is that the players even in normal discs the right format recognition 4: 3/16: 9 passes correctly. I recommend the 'Automatic' to keep on as far as the choice of the resolution. In Blurays the 1080p / 24fps mode is selected with the appropriate material automatically, at 'interlaced' material, the machine selects enstprechend 1080i / 50Hz. Even exotic resolutions such as 1080i / 30fps are issued.
(As z.Bsp. In AVCHD disc test of the trade magazine HDTV PRAXIS)

Caution: In order to have a perfect 3D transmission, you should a HDMI cable
have at least equivalent to the standard 1.4a!

LG was diverse codecs already always very open-minded, what
Functionality of the device is significantly increased. It's actually a matter of course that even DivX HD discs can be played without problems.

This model also offers the possibility to the network (also available via wifi)
to be involved. To integrate the device into the network you need with XP only the sections freigegben the network which you want to share.
For me it is a MP3, photo and video folders. These are found by the device itself. Clamping Eder way are in the video folder .ts Satreceiverfiles, mp4 and other abstract video formats. Even these are streamed without error, which is very surprised!
The Plan of the photo sections or the photos themselves are very fast
built. MP3 Files (with 320kbit) streamed without error. The network connection appears to have been converted stable. There was no crash at me!

The layout of the apps was compared to previous models
a little changed. Firmware update still other services could be added.

In the face of the price it already is almost a miracle to create a device with this wealth of equipment, which is also confirmed by the trade press.

Incidentally, not only I have done most positive experience that this BD Player BP730 currently the best device on the market is (as of August 2013), but also a very interesting comparison test various current brands of Reszendent Roede Baer. This review You should also read times!
