Review on πŸ“€ LG UHD 4K Region Free Blu Ray DVD Player - PAL NTSC Ultra HD with USB - 100-240V 50/60Hz for Global Use & 6ft Multi System 4K HDMI Cable by Reginald Hamilton

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Now you can grab TV shows and movies not available in the US and watch them at home!

No longer released in US or never on Blu- Ray publishes in the US. However, in the UK shows like The Prisoner are still available and released in great remastered Blu-Ray versions. I read mixed reviews on this player but I wanted 4K support AND multiple regions so I took a chance and am very happy. These Region B TV shows and movies play great, and my Region A 4K HDR, Blu-ray and US DVD play great too. The device came with simple instructions. A couple of notes: the HDMI cable that came with the unit didn't work for 4K (so I bought a new one) and I wasn't aware that my 3 year old AV receiver was 4K HDR (Onkyo TX-NR646) - so I got the Blu-ray connected directly to the TV and sent the audio to the AVR via an optical cable. The picture is excellent, but I don't have all the sound lossless over the optical channel. I have since ordered an HDMI splitter with HDMI audio out to pass the HDMI connection to my TV and my AVR, which will hopefully solve this problem. Review comes later. Also note that there is a high-end multi-region LG 4K player, the UBK90, which has 2 HDMI outputs, which would be perfect for my situation. Therefore, if you have this problem, I suggest spending a little more, around $100, and get this device.

Pros
