LG BP556

Smart functionality ; Decent amount of picture detail ; Private mode feature ; Nicely judged skin tones

Colours aren’t convincing ; Could be more insightful ; Disappointing sound quality

A feature-packed Blu-ray player, but doesn’t have the visual or sonic talent to back them up

Great Blu-ray disc performance ; Netflix and Amazon onboard ; Connects to MusicFlow speakers

Built to a (low) price ; Needs tinkering for optimum performance ; Rubbish video file playback

This compact and affordable Blu-ray player not only spins discs, it also supports multiroom audio and has OTT streaming on tap.
