Most helpful customer reviews 15 of 16 people found the following review helpful. Great! By ZomgLawlz I owned a couple of the LG BD570 models but wanted to add the surround sound without having to buy a seperate tuner. This was a very nice update over the 570 model, the sound is actually quite good on both movies, and music. There were some reviews talking about music sounding hollow, but for me it really sounds great. The wifi works nicely for both streaming and home networking. The wireless rear speakers made my life so much easier without having to run wires across my living room. The new LG Smart TV is great, though I recognize some folks may not agree since it seems to be in it's infant stages. But, what they have works wonderfully. I also love the integration with my iPhone. Since I am stationed in Japan, finding good TV is hard to do, but Smart TV fits my needs with the help of a VPN. Hulu is scheduled to be available on it in another month or two which will only add to the appeal. I highly recommend this unit. It's a great all in one, 3D BD, Home Theater, Radio, Media Player, Internet TV. 9 of 10 people found the following review helpful. Good value for the money By Jim Smiley First of all don't expect the LG LHB976 to blow you away with mind blowing surround sound. It's good enough for you to enjoy the sound effects of 5.1 movies and TV. But your room won't shake, rattle and roll. The passive sub-woofer can't deliver the booming effects you'll get from a powered sub. And that also limits this from being a great music system. I do really like the Integrated Wi-Fi and Smart TV aspects of this however. And the wireless rear speakers are just what I needed. Please be aware the rear speakers are actually wired to the Wi-Fi transmitter(Which works great by the way}. So you do need an electrical outlet, and you'll have wires running from the transmitter. The Smart TV is a bit complicated in the initial navigation, but with a little trial and error you'll figure it out. For an inexpensive surround system I think it's well worth the money. If you have a small enough room, and can spend a bit more, I would suggest the Polk Audio SoundBar 50. I couldn't keep mine because the room was to big for the surround effects to work. But I'm telling you with a powered sub, that thing did blow me away. Update 3 months later: I experienced a problem with the rear speakers where they would not deliver anything but occasional loud static, even though they were linked just fine. Customer service was great! They told me which parts to return(Receiver, both speakers and link receiver). I was e-mailed a shipping label, and then was called about a week later to let me know the unit had been tested and that the parts required were back ordered and it would be two weeks before I would have it back. I appreciate the communication and the overall customer service professionalism. I've had no further problems, and am totally enjoying the surround experience they provide. Another benefit I've discovered is the ability to share with the media in your home computer through a wireless router. The only thing keeping me from making this a 5 star is the less than stellar performance in music playback. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Not bad overall, but just a few glitches that sealed the deal By Shawn G. Demers I bought this unit about a month ago, and I am returning it to Amazon this week. Overall the unit functions well, the sound quality is very good and the setup was not hard (I would describe myself as a very tech-able person...not an expert, but I know my way around). But, the reason I am returning it is that there were a few functions and things it did that told me I would not be satisfied with this unit in the long run. For comparison, this unit was replacing a 5.1 Sony Dream System that I got probably 8-9 years ago. That unit worked fine with my previous setup, but we got a new TV, and the new TV did not have analog audio out, so
