I ordered this because it was one of the most affordable blu-ray players available on amazon and manufactured from a solid company. It is no-frills and has no internet connectivity, but that is what I needed. I already have a tv app stick (the C*****cast) and a smart tv to do the smart stuff. The unit has a nice, simplistic, modern design with a single unobtrusive dim led to indicate it is on. The remote has a good design in a compact size. The largest reason I was okay ordering this to begin with despite the few reviews was that I have a similar-looking LG blu-ray player that is about 3 years old that is still running perfectly. The other negative reviews are pretty scrupulous as evident by the unhelpful ratings, so I felt compelled to write this review.
