LG BX580 3D Blu-Ray Player

May 17th, 2010

We gave you a heads up on Panasonic’s 3D HDTV a while back, and today we’re showing off LG’s 3D Blu-Ray player the BX580. A mere $400 will get you a sleek looking, Wi-Fi connected, full 1080p, three dimensional Blu-Ray player, impressed? We are! $400 seems a small amount to pay to be able to enjoy the latest 3D flicks on your home entertainment system and whilst the 3D HDTVs may not be ‘cheap as chips’ keenly priced 3D players will certainly enable market take-up in the 3D arena. Here’s the full details on this bargain of a player from LG, the BX580

Reviews

We couldn’t find any reviews that were prepared to give the BX580 marks out of ten but we did find a couple of articles that go into depth a wee bit more than we have. So check out Blu-Ray Players write up and CNet’s hands-on if you need to know more, otherwise browse on over to Amazon to check the latest price on the LG BX580 3D Blu-Ray player.
