Reviews of the LG LHB953

CNET Review
The Good: Built-in Blu-ray player; 5.1 home theater system; solid sound quality; excellent image quality on Blu-ray movies; Netflix, Pandora, YouTube, and CinemaNow streaming; fast Blu-ray load times; slick pull-out iPod dock.
The Bad: Competing Samsung sounds better, although it's more expensive; exterior design is lackluster, though functionally sound; no video inputs; no automatic speaker calibration; LG provides no wireless rear speaker option.
The Bottom Line: The LG LHB953 combines Blu-ray, tons of streaming media content, and solid AV quality into an all-in-one home theater system that scores high on the value quotient.
