The BP620 is LG’s “flagship” Blu-ray player for 2012, but you couldn’t tell by its $130 street price or ordinary feature set. It includes all the important features that manufacturers are charging for this year, such as 3D compatibility, built-in Wi-Fi, and a suite of streaming-media services.

The big catch, especially if you were familiar with LG’s platform last year, is that Amazon Instant will not be included on 2012 players, which could be a deal breaker for cord cutters. However, LG continues to have one of the best-designed streaming-content portals, with a dead-simple user interface.

Still, the BP620’s straightforward user interface makes it a top 3D Blu-ray player pick, especially if you don’t need Amazon Instant streaming.
