A:AnswerThe LG - 8x External USB 2.0 Blu-ray Disc Double-Layer DVD±RW/CD-RW Disc Rewriter - Black, Model # BP50NB40 is a DVD Player, it cannot play Blu-ray DVD discs...^IFV
A:AnswerBy your use of the term "monitor", I'm guessing the movie does play and displays on the laptop screen. There is a function key toggle to switch between the built-in screen on your laptop and the external monitor; you'll need to look at the function keys and depress the one with the external monitor symbol to switch the display to that monitor. Seems like every laptop has this switch on a different function key, you may need to go to the manufacturers website and do some digging to find the actual key and key strokes to turn on the external monitor, then switch back to your laptop display.
A:AnswerTry these 2 programs... must get AnyDVD HD from RedFox . You can download it from their site and they continuously update to newer version for free. Also get 4Videosoft Blu-ray Ripper. It will convert to just about any digital format. Both work with DVD or Blu Ray.
A:AnswerI've used this drive with older Windows versions and Windows used a standard Microsoft driver with this drive and it worked well, I don't have windows 11, but windows 10 works well with this drive. Any compatible 3rd party player can be a good work around if you have trouble...
A:AnswerYes you can but you will need additional software to burn it. The software that I use is called MakeMKV and it works great and you can use it for free for 30 days.

Thank you so much for trying LG rep I appreciate your help however this does play both blu rays and dvds and writes to both as in the above listed writes and reads both blu rays and dvds and plays them both, however my question is can I use blu ray disc to make a system disc backup on blue rays writables and if not why, you cant as I have tried several times and Hitachi apparently put a patch preventing lg blu ray burners from creating a back up system or recovery disc for your computers, which make it useless for my personal needs and why its going back to the store. Thanks again but someone else will get my money apparently.
A:AnswerYes, the disc drive will work on Linux.
Yes, there is alternate software that will work because the software is just a media suite.
Yes, the disc that comes with the drive will not work with linux.
