Design
The new LG line is designed to balance the look of LG’s latest generation of HDTVs. The BD 550 Blu-ray player sports an ultra slim look and compact design allowing you to easily blend it into your existing home decor.
The front panel is a simple affair with the disc tray on the left and control buttons on the right. A USB 2.0 port on the front allows playback of media like music MP3s and digital photos directly. The USB is also needed if you want to download BD-Live bonus content like movie trailers. The USB storage must have at least 1GB free space.
Being an entry level player, connectivity options have been reduced to the basics. You get a HDMI output, component video out, composite video out, digital audio out, analog stereo outputs and a LAN port.
