Well, it's just great: sound, video and features are amazing! The usb connection works perfectly with my hdd and my usb pen as well; so I can watch & listen whatever I want! Besides it's fine with a small room but also with a big one! Highly recommended if you don't wanna spend much money and if u wanna have a great item =) p.s. just 7 days to ship to Italy! Thanks amazon ;)
I was initially disapointed with the picture quality as very grainy, i worked out the was over processing of the picture and turning the sharpness setting down on the blu-ray fixed that.
There is a built in fm radio, and two optical in ports on the back.
Picture quality on dvds is fantastic and upscales very well at 1080.
Media streaming is very good and a free copy of nero home media is supplied to help with transcoding on the fly of you home media.
The web services avalable are youtube, picassa, and acuweather. Picassa is especially impressive as it seems very fast with well aranged menus.
In conclusion, if you are looking for a surround settup then look elsewhere as this is really a replacement for your tv speakers with attitude. There is also no upgrade option to 5.1 sound so you are getting 2.1 sound
If you however want a great bluray player and want to see just how pathetic you tv speakers really are, and trust me there will be a gulf of quality ; then this is for you.
Audio wise the speakers sound great, despite being only 2.1, the system has a big expansive sound and the subwoofer bass is terrific as it really gets thumpingly loud when you need it, as I've tried quite a few Blu-ray discs such as The Matrix which sounds very impressive. I also tried the Lord of the Rings DVD trilogy and again the sound quality and bass is quite incredible.
The Blu-ray player itself is pretty neat and small and has a terrific picture as DVDs and Blu-ray discs look terrific and really sharp. The player can also play lots of different formats such as Divx, mkv, mp3, mpeg, etc.
The only snags I've found with the system are very occassionally you do get a little bit of distortion from the speakers with voices in movies with very loud scenes, but this is very slight and minimal. It might also have to do with the volume and placement of the speakers as I have them quite close either side of my TV, so probably a good idea to move them a bit further away. The other slight snag is the player's cooling unit kicks in for quite a while, its not that loud, but you can hear it if you are watching a quiet part of a movie or TV show. But again it is fairly quiet and after a while you probably won't notice it.
Apart from that the LG HB44S is a really good buy for the money and if you want a home cinema system and aren't too fussed about 5.1 surround, then this is for you.
When I play movies and there's alot of bass happening, whether it be from explosions or whatever, the Subwoofer will make a... Read more
