The BD370 is a Blu-ray Disc player announced by LG at CES 2009. This product is part of a series that builds upon 2008’s LG BD300, which broke new ground by featuring Netflix internet streaming, allowing users to instantly watch movies, TV shows and other video content. Like last year’s model, the BD370 will also offer Netflix access in addition to YouTube videos and CinemaNow’s pay-per-view HD movie content. This Blu-ray player is profile 2.0, meaning it’s compatible with BD-Live and BonusView, which can give users access to additional downloadable movie content through the internet. All internet content is enabled by the built-in Ethernet port. The BD370 can output full 1080p video for Blu-ray Discs as well as standard DVDs. Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio are also supported allowing for the best possible sound quality. This is an improvement compared to last year’s BD300, which did not decode DTS-HD Master Audio natively. The BD370 is expected to be available in the second quarter of 2009.
