    Seeing that you cannot get a smaller laptop with an internal cd/dvd/Blu-ray player any longer, and one is necessary for my work I opted for this product. It seems to work well.

    Works fine for reading discs so far. Haven't done any writing yet. A little expensive, but I wanted the ability to write Blu-ray just in case I wanted to at some point in the future.

    Bought this to use with my new laptop. Works perfectly. Player/recorder software is included which was a plus for me. Software has some nice features, like display enhancers and zoom. Slim, sturdy built. Kept my movie going even while I dropped it on the floor from about 3 feet up. One word of caution: the supplied USB cable has a micro USB end that plugs into the player, and the other end is a dual USB (one USB-A for data, and a second USB-A for power supply). Therefore your computer, TV, etc must have 2 available USB ports, and one of them must supply power. I plug the data cable end into my USB 3.1, and using an adapter plug the power cable end into my USB-C and it works perfectly.

    LG player failed to perform

    I would NOT recommend purchasing this device. It doesn’t play all BluRay discs that I tried in this thing. The one that was most disappointing was “Avatar”. At times, the device would speed up the video and audio, then it would just stop, and why not include skipping forward in the video. I tried working with it, involving the Best Buy tech and store manager. They went so far as to replace the unit….and NO, the disc was not scratched. The replacement unit was just as bad. So, I returned it, got my money back, and am now looking for a replacement product that actually works reliably.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

      Hi, there. Thanks for sharing your experience with the LG Blu-ray Disc (BP50NB40) model. We understand how important reliable playback is—especially when enjoying titles like “Avatar.”

      This model supports a wide range of Blu-ray formats, but playback issues can sometimes occur due to firmware compatibility. If you ever revisit this unit, we recommend checking for a firmware update using the LG software update tool available here: https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/lg-bluray-how-to-update-firmware--1428606495664. If you'd like us to take a closer look or share feedback with our product team, feel free to email us at lgdigitalcare@lg.sprinklrsupport.com. We're here to help. ^Juvy LG

    I bought this Blu-Ray player to watch movies and it is great. I also burn Blu-rays, DVD's, and CD's. I have had it only a few weeks and have put dozens of discs through it. Works like a champ.

    This player works flawlessly with provided software. Plays Blue ray videos well. Runs quietly. I have not used all write functions as of yet but it burns cd's without difficulty. Operates as expected.
