Pros

Cons
No Upconversion
Poor Connections

Comment:
I experienced the same problems another reviewer had, i.e., the remote would not always function or the machine would not always respond. I replaced the batteries with no improvements. It would freeze, or lock-up, with no way to exit the dvd, except by pulling the power plug. And then, we could NOT return or speed ahead in the movie -- had to apologize to guests for not being able to have a positive 3D movie experience -- only a huge headache & disappointment
How long have you owned it:
One-to-three months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

WiFi Reception Very Poor

Comment:
The WiFi reception is so poor that it does not connect to our router that is only 15 feet away in the next room. My connected 55LM760 LG Smart TV has the features needed to receive signals effectively from our router and works well, so I didn't return this player after purchase. Is was so cheap, I felt it wasn't worth a ten mile trip back to the retailer to exchange it for another brand. It works fine as a 3D player.
