![]() LG have kindly added on a USB input so I can view home videos, my albums or even anything my friends decide to bring round and make me sit through. Incidentally these features make a “non-smart” TV, smart. ![]() This means I can catch up on the new series of “ Orange Is The New Black” or play my gym playlist while doing the housework. With smart streaming services and built-in Wi-Fi, I can watch Netflix or Amazon Instant video along with YouTube and I can even have music streaming through Spotify or Rhapsody. The decision was made and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. As someone with a vast DVD collection, I was worried that I’d want to replace many of my favourite films with Blu-ray version, so thought it best to avoid temptation! Those thoughts were blown away, however, when I discovered that a Blu-ray player can not only play Blu-ray discs, but can upscale any DVD to 1080p quality. What had slightly put me off buying a Blu-ray player previously was that I thought you could only play Blu-ray discs. I was filled with a sense of excitement as the opening scene of Avatar took me back to the night in the cinema in 2009 who knew nostalgia was a feature of a Blu-ray? I wasn’t let down at all by the picture quality, in fact I could see far more detail than I thought was possible – a true revelation. I had seen it once in the cinema and wanted to see if it lived up to my expectation. I had chosen Avatar to be my first 1080p full HD experience, having only ever seen this in a shop, I wondered what awaited. Upon startup the unit was surprisingly quick to get going (one thing I had read about Blu-ray players prior to my purchase was that they were notoriously slow to startup) so this was a refreshing find. With its sleek design and few buttons on the front it certainly looked like it would be really easy to use… and I’m pleased to say I wasn’t wrong. I was amazed to find that the only thing I needed to do was plug it into in a mains socket and then just connect an HDMI to get this to work. Having used a standard DVD player for years I decided to try my hand at a new LG Blu-ray player, the LG BP350.
