According to our Blu-ray player expert
The LG UP970 is a UHD Blu-ray player that plays 4K images. The player also supports HDR display in the form of HDR10 and Dolby Vision. This way, the image is clear and details remain clearly visible in black image. The UP970 has a USB port, so you can play your music, pictures, and videos directly from a USB flash drive or hard drive. Thanks to the integrated WiFi, you can connect the player to your home network and you'll have access to apps such as Netflix.

2 weeks ago I had ordered the 2nd film of Thor: The Dark World in 3D when I wanted to watch this film on my PS3 this disc also stuck the regular 2D version but did not start up, I only did a few tests with other blu-rays in 3D and 2D and these all went well, even after a system update with the message that I already had the latest version 4.81, the film of Thor would not start, looked up what that could be, apparently Sony has stopped make new updates for the PS3. So there was no other option than to buy a new player and I chose this LG 4K Blu-ray player because I know from experience that LG players can play everything or almost everything without making any problems, that was with my Sony Blu-Ray player a hell and especially with the PS3. I am satisfied with the durability of this LG player, it looks much sturdier than my previous LG player, it was of service from 2011 to 2015 at first, support for apps such as YouTube was lost, then there were no more updates and by the end of the year 2015 the disc driver broke and all that in a short time, so I hope this LG Blu-ray player will last much longer. The image quality of the LG UP970 is generally fine, but it sometimes went wrong when deinterlacing and detecting different film frame rates. the picture then comes across as choppy, In most cases the problem disappears when I switched the output to 50 Hz instead of the default setting of 24 Hz, In most cases it turned out to be enough to switch that setting to solve the problem to solve. But I recommend sticking to the standard 24 Hz and only switching in case of problems. The upscaling is good and it neatly converts both Blu-Ray and DVD to Ultra HD. In the setting you can choose different image preseds, the image presed standard guarantees that the image remains neutral and is not adjusted and also gives the best result on a tv , I think those other image preseds are more intended if you connect the player to a projector. The LG UP970 has a major asset, and that is Dolby Vision support, which is missing for the time being, but will be available with an update in about December. There are a number of features that I have seen on other players such as (network media player, full smart TV platform) and these are missing on the LG UP970 but I don't mind that much. It is also very simple in terms of settings, so no professional settings such as on a Panasonic, for example. But you do get a double HDMI connection, excellent image quality and a very smooth user experience without Blu-ray discs that get stuck or USB files that it can't read. So if you are looking for an easy to operate Blu-ray player and USB player, then this might be an option that, after the Dolby Vision upgrade, has quite a bit to offer.

A great product with only minor defaults that might made it perfect to be handled through harmony

It is a future design with few bells and whistles, and very important not such a terribly bright blue light that illuminates your room at night to show the possible burglars the way
