I crossflashed this drive to have the LG BP60NB10 firmware, which makes this drive a 4K UHD disc friendly. This drive as it comes will not read 4K disks, but changing the firmware will unlock this.

I also tested this drive with some Philips BD-R DL discs and will be testing them with more discs later.
It seems this model is no longer available on Amazon, but you can still get the BP60NB10 here:
