LG BD670 Blu-Ray DVD Player
I replaced my LG BD390 with the BD670, for a couple reasons - mostly to improve netflix experience, to get wifi N over 5 ghz, and hopefully it would be faster..
Overall, it is slightly better than the BD390, but not much. My dad wanted a Blur ray player -but wasn't sure what to get, so I used that as an excuse to give him my BD390- - which had analog outputs compatible with his older reciever -- something which is hard to find on current BD players. Since I had an HDMI switching receiver, I could use the BD670 on my system.
Overally, it's a B+. The BD390 was an A+ when it came out, this is harder to use - i did not need all of the internet enabled apps, compared with the BD 390. I do not use all of the options on the BD670 - sure there are tonnes of options.. but I might as well get a real HTPC to use some of the features.
Overall, its a nice machine, and the only major fault is with netflix -- it does not smoothly degrade video quality - and sometimes the audio skips - at expense of keeping video perfect - the BD390 would degrade video a little to keep audio working perfectly. We have network stuttering between 6 and 9 pm at night on netflix.. and the BD670 is not as smooth as the BD390. Also, the BD670 sometimes stutters when playing back high bitrate MKV or MP4. --- this is over a 300 mbps Wifi N...
The BD390 would sometimes drop connection - but once connected it always worked. The BD670 drops less connections -but it stutters more. The 670 also supports more foremats than the BD390.
Slightly better than BD390.. slightly

Pros: excellent blu-ray player, good DLNA and wifi client, good all-in-one device
Cons: Slow UI, netflix does not gracefully degrade quality
The Bottom Line:
Overall it is excellent but the UI is unnecessarily complicated.
