LG BD370 vs. Panasonic BD80, which is better? - Blu-ray Forum

dagvc37 · 10-03-2009, 05:33 PM

Just wondering which one you guys would recommend.

It seems like the BD370 has better features but the Panasonic BD80 has better picture quality. Does this mean the picture is REALLY THAT much better on the BD80? I feel like they should be pretty comparable because its blu ray but I'm new to blu ray shopping. The features on the LG are really appealing, but I'm considering both these equally so I need some help with the decision.

Thanks everyone!

I got the panasonic 80 and the lg370 about a day apart. I had problems with the netflix working on the lg370. but as a player it was fine. I kept the panasonic 80 and took back the lg370. I had have the wireless roku machine that did a better job with netflix then the lg370. the roku is also cheaper.

rubystone what about the picture quality? Did you notice a big difference between the two? I'm not planning on subscribing to netflix either so if that wasn't part of your decision would you have still gone with the bd80 over the 370?

good question. I would still go with the panasonic 80. been happy with the players. I also had the panasonic 30. the lg did not have a proper full running time for the movies and tv shows when you played a dvd. only on how much you had watched.. instead of the whole of complete running time.. which I think is very important. know the final time on the bluray/dvd.
