>> David Cassadine [assumed spelling]: Hi. I'm David Cassadine from CNET from the LG booth at CES2009, and this is the LG BD 390. This is one of two Blu-ray players LG announced at the show. This is the higher-end model, and it's got a lot of improvements over the previous model, which was the first-stream Netflix. One of the biggest improvements is that LG has added the ability to go out, and you can get access to Cinema Now and YouTube content right from the player in addition to screening the 12,000 Netflix titles so that's pretty cool. Apparently, the bigger thing, though, is the ability to actually use a wireless connection this time so you don't need to run an Ethernet cable from your living room into the back of this thing. You can actually go out and use your own wireless connections so makes it a lot easier to stream those titles. This Blu-ray player also features 7.1 analog output, DVD upscaling, and a host of other features so all in all, it's a pretty well-outfitted player. Look for this player in the spring time frame for around $400, and that's a quick look at the LG BD 390, and I'm David Cassadine. [ Music ]

LG BD390 Review
The good: Excellent image quality on Blu-ray movies; integrated 802.11n Wi-Fi; Netflix, YouTube, and CinemaNow streaming; superfast disc loading; plays music, videos, and pictures off a connected USB drive or over network; Profile 2.0 compatible; onboard decoding for Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio; 7.1 analog outputs; 1GB onboard memory.
The bad: Costs as much as a PS3; CinemaNow doesn't stack up to Amazon Video On Demand.
The bottom line: The LG BD390's combination of excellent image quality, superfast loading times, and its currently unbeatable feature set make it our top choice among premium standalone Blu-ray players.
