Nice clean interface, good Blu-ray and DVD quality,
Poor responsiveness, Blu-ray playback freezes
LG does a nice job with the interface and playback quality on the BP530, but slow overall performance and firmware issues hold it back...

The LG BP530 offers a fine selection of streaming services, built-in Wi-Fi, and decent disc playback. It also features subtle styling and a well-laid-out remote and is easy to use, despite some user interface clutter
Netflix loads particularly slowly. The neat Private Listening feature only works with discs, not apps, and isn't reliable. And there are minor image quality issues for picky viewers
The LG BP530 has built-in Wi-Fi and a good selection of apps, but there are just enough quirks to keep it from being a top Blu-ray player pick.
