Overview
['The LG TRG-BPM35-RC handles standard 1080p Full HD Blu-ray and DVD playback, connecting to your display via HDMI. A USB port adds the ability to play media files directly from a flash drive, which is a useful bonus at this price point.', "At $73 and weighing in as a compact unit, it fits neatly into a media cabinet without taking up much real estate. LG's disc-player reliability track record is solid, and the straightforward feature set means less to go wrong over time.", 'This player does not include built-in Wi-Fi or Ethernet, so all content comes from physical discs or USB storage. For anyone who relies on disc collections and wants to keep things simple, that limitation is not a concern, but streaming-app users will need to look elsewhere.']

Frequently asked questions
Does the LG TRG-BPM35-RC play regular DVDs?
Yes, the player handles both Blu-ray discs and standard DVDs. It outputs video at up to 1080p Full HD over HDMI, so DVDs will be upscaled to fill the resolution, though actual image quality depends on the source disc.
Can I use this player to stream Netflix or other apps?
No. The TRG-BPM35-RC does not include built-in Wi-Fi or Ethernet, so it has no network streaming capability. You would need a separate streaming device or a smart TV to access Netflix, Hulu, or similar services.
What cables do I need to set it up?
You will need an HDMI cable to connect the player to your TV or receiver. HDMI cables are not always included in the box, so check before purchase. No component or composite cables are required for modern setups using HDMI.
