Reviews of the LG LFD790

CNET Review
The Good: 2.1-channel home theater in a box; upscales DVD via HDMI output; pristine black-gloss finish AV receiver/DVD player, stereo speakers, and powered subwoofer; XM satellite radio ready; easy-to-use onscreen interface for media files.
The Bad: An unusually awkward user interface makes playing and switching audio sources entirely too much work; most AV jacks are inconveniently located on the subwoofer; virtual surround mode isn't effective.
The Bottom Line: The LG LFD790 wins points for its cool looks, low price, and decent feature set, but a variety of design and interface miscues make it tough to recommend.
