The DP1B LG brings a media player on the market we’re not even as deep in a box to hide. On the contrary. This sleek streamer is a real eye-catcher in any home environment.
HDTVs, Blu-ray players, smart phones, audio systems, LG has almost every sport already demonstrated its master when it comes to combining quality equipment with quality design. I was recently expanded to work with DP1B media player, and thus knows the Korean manufacturer’s excellent chance to throw again.
The box is so small and stylish – with its black and aluminum trim panel – that you just like what a prominent spot next to your TV for free. In addition, you need to install the device to be happy no whiz, because after you power, Ethernet and HDMI cable (not included) you have connected directly to work. Indeed, nothing no difficult settings so that you can not understand a ball, just go with that banana!
Starting the DP1B going remarkably smoothly. After about 20 seconds because you’re in the main menu and you can quickly scroll through various menus that appear entirely in Dutch. The famous LG interface is again applied so that navigating a clear matter.
However, the LG too bad under the menu option ‘Movies’, ‘Pictures’ and ‘Music’ single files that attached to a USB stick or external disk, and not all shared folders directly from the PC. To do this, you then use the separate ‘Home Link’ option, then you can search through the familiar videos, music and pictures from your PC.
By content teams
The LG remote control is very sturdy and does good work as you plow through all the content looking for that one movie, CD or album that pretty. Additionally you can also use the touch-sensitive buttons that sit on top of the media player itself, which also work fine.
For the audiophiles among us, it is also nice to know that there exists an optical output for 5.1 or DTS surround sound while watching the performance for both movies and listening to music, very properly be called. And sometimes we do differently in this type of media players.
During my extensive test session I therefore DP1B taken care of, and not the more luxurious DP1W. And that is unfortunate because, unlike the DP1B has DP1W not have a built-in Wi-Fi. This means that your device only to your network can hang by entering an ethernet cable to press, and if you opt for special cables through the house to draw you will anyway soon go look at a player that does have a wireless option available .
The DP1B is therefore only recommended for users who just like it a permanent connection to use, especially since it does not have a built-in hard drive. Meet up with this checklist, however, then you have this LG device a very first-rate player in the home that effortlessly all media content in HD (1080p) playback on your HDTV.
If a train
Playing music and video files is really like a train, and although I stalled twice at a screen was watching, turn the DP1B go really smoothly. The picture quality of streamed video is generally sound, and that both an HDMI and the scart adapter. The image is sharp, does not vibrate and there are full color displays. Moreover, several separate subtitle files supported (USB) and can also almost all video and audio formats effortlessly photo playback.
Finally, LG DP1B still provide some nice extras. Under the menu option “Netcast” We can fact pictures of the Picasa database view, there is an extensive weather from AccuWeather, and there are also YouTube videos. Let’s hope that LG in the future with more interesting apps for this player is.
It should be clear, the LG DP1B you get a very solid and stylish media player especially in the home over a huge convenience available. A disadvantage is that these DP1B (which is available for less than 100 euro) on a built-in Wi-Fi features. Something that DP1W (for a few euros more) it can offer. Got the ethernet cable, but once the appliance then proceeds to stream all media and will be so tasty options such as watching YouTube videos or Picasa photos not get bored.
