  • QuestionIs this model 4K UHD Friendly friendly in 4k also. If not put the correct model link here, please. Thank you!

    Asked by DiabloPajarito.

    • Answer Hi there, Mike! Thank you for sharing your question to us about the LG External Drive (WP50NB40). This model is considered UHD‑friendly, meaning it can read, rip, and back up 4K UHD Blu‑ray discs to your computer. It does not play 4K UHD movies directly through standard software, and a firmware flash is needed to enable full UHD‑ripping capability.

  • QuestionCan I plug it into a television?

    Asked by Wtapia311.

    • Answer Hi there! Thanks for reaching out about the LG External Drive (WP50NB40). This external DVD writer is designed to work with computers, so it typically cannot be plugged directly into a television. Most TVs don’t support USB optical drives because they lack the necessary drivers to read discs through USB. If your TV has a built‑in media player that supports USB storage, you could play files from a USB flash drive—but not directly from a USB DVD drive like the WP50NB40.
