We've already seen the entry-level LG BD370, but we've also now had a glimpse of the step-up Blu-ray player in LG's 2009 lineup: the BD390.

The BD390 includes all of the features of its little brother: DVD upscaling, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD audio, BD-Live/profile 2.0 support, and the ability to stream online video from Netflix, YouTube and CinemaNow.

The BD390 also adds some upgrades: built-in Wi-Fi (so you're not limited to wired Ethernet), 1GB of on-board memory (no need for a USB stick to access BD-Live features) and 7.1-channel analogue outputs (maximum compatibility with older, non-HDMI AV receivers).

The BD390 is expected to hit US stores in June for an as-yet-undisclosed price, while UK pricing and availability are also yet to be announced.
