Very reliable

I have had this for a few years and it have been very reliable when other DVD drives have failed my high volume usage on a day to day basis.

Best in class after 5 years!

This thing is still unbeatable 5 years after purchase. It works like the day I bought it and looks amazing! Will stay with LG going forward!

The firmware is out of date in win 10

it comes out many errors on Event Viewer recently in win 10 so I updated the firmware that is on LG website. But then it tops working.

Was great

I have had this Blu-ray player and it worked great until I bought my new computer with Windows 10. Now I have an expensive paper weight. Very disappointed LG does not provide Driver upgrades for their products so I will be purchasing another burner but not from LG

Sturdy, well-built DVD unit.

This unit can be used with just about any format of CD or DVD. It is very fast. It has held up very well over the years I have owned it. My only request of LG is that they support Apple better. There are no drivers on the LG website for Apple and the unit no longer works with the newest OS. It appears that this defect is not confined to just LG, though. Anyway if there was some type of software available to make it work better with my new computer I would appreciate it very much!

Reliable burner. Occasional firmware issues.

I have had this burner for 2 years and it has performed with 99% reliability. My only problem happened when a firmware update created some issues with my burning software recognizing the drive. This was resolved. Otherwise a reliable device.

Worth every penny!!!

I have had my BE14NU40 for a while now. I can't say enough good things about it. Most of all, I enjoy the portability as I take it with me between home and office. It has never failed me. I always have a quality finished product. I produce videos of church worship services and it does everything that I could want it to do. Because of the large volume of storage needed for archiving this data we use it to burn "M" discs which allow us quick and precise access access to whatever we need. I would but it again without hesitation. Great value for the money!!

It simply does not work with Windows 10 even though it appears as a BD device in the directory structure.

I love this blu-ray player

This is a great LG Blu-ray player, I like to own someday a LG LCD TV that would be nice but I wouldn't mind winning one too. I wouldn't mind also to win another LG Blu-ray player too as well.

Died after a few days

The drive worked out of the box fine, but after a couple of days it just stopped working, and I had only used it a few times. The total time of actual use has to be less than 1 hour. I can't find my receipt (that's my fault) so I can't speak to the quality of customer service, but obviously I can't give a high rating to a product that dies with less than 1 hour of use.

After three months won't play

After playing maybe 20 disks over a three month period the drive keeps ejecting disks (even ones that I have played before on the same drive).

Was fast...

Used the device for a few day, one day it suddenly had some sort of malfunction where the disc shattered within the drive.

Reads damage BD disks

My existing BD Rewriter was starting to fail to recognize a netflix BD, one out of 3-4 disks. Same bad disks had trouble playing or flat out would not play in a nearly new LG 12.7mm BD rewriter. Bought this BE14NU40 Writer because of the "Jamless Play" that let's it play thru fingerprints or bad / scratched sectors - This unit played 2 BDs that both my existing units did not recognize or would recognize then fail to play - and if you wamt a noisy writer/player - look at other units, this thing is morgue quiet. I would not hesitate to buy this unit again

Great

Works well, but sometimes my computer doesn't recognize it and I have to shut it off and turn back on again to burn a disk.

Great Product

This device has replaced my Sony Blu-Ray player. My setup is an 80" 4K Television, connected via HDMI to my audio receiver. This device is connected to my media computer, which itself, is connected via HDMI to my audio receiver. I'm using software to play my DVDs and Blu-Ray discs and this product has been phenomenal. I'm not losing anything not using the Sony product. Full HD-DTS and the picture quality is second to none! Keep up the great work, LG.

Nice hardware and software package

Easy to install and use. Lots of useful software. The burning speed is nice and very few burning issues. Yet to try the multilayer disks but I am sure it will perform well.

I would buy this product again.

Product works great. Must have USB 3.0 and go to the LG product support website to flash this device in order for it to work stable. This item will not boot an OS. It works inside MAC or Windows. Make sure also that your GPU will handle Blue-ray.

LG's BE14NU40 Blu~Ray External Drive

I use my LG Blue~Ray external drive for quickly transferring the entire 3DBlue~Ray/Blue~Ray Disc with special features, and chapters to my SanDisk 128GB Class 10 microSDXC Card. The 128GB microSDXC is located in my Galaxy Note 3. The LG BE14NU40 rapidly reads the Blue~Ray Disc and transfers it through USB 3.0 to my Laptop to a program called 123 Copy Blu~Ray/DVD Platinum. Upon about 4+/- hour’s replication the program stores it on my hard drive and is then transferred to my Galaxy Note 3 via ...
