Blu-Ray player for Window 10

RichH

Can you recommend an external Blu-Ray player for Windows 10?  I only want to play (read) the discs, I don't anticipate needing to write in Blu-Ray format. 

FWIW -- I have an LG Slim Portable DVD Writer (Model:  GP50NB40) for other DVD tasks. 

Thanks!!!

Greetings,

I'm going to recommend this unit: https://www.microcenter.com/product/607144/lg-slim-portable-blu-ray--dvd-writer-w--3d-blu-ray-disk-playback-and-m-disc-support 

Mainly because it's listed as including PowerDVD. I assume you'll be watching movies on this and the software to decrypt and play a blu ray movie is not cheap. Most of the external drives are listed a burners. They're going to offer just Power2Go for burning. There of course are always ways around it, assuming you legally own the media. However, if you want to just be able to pop in the disc and play, you should buy a product that includes PowerDVD. That software will cost you as much as the drive otherwise.

Thanks Mike!
I am looking for “pop-in and play” functionality, so this is perfect!

This unit must be REALLY good because it’s out of stock everywhere.  (I even checked a Microcenter store in California and - heaven forbid - on Amazon.). Is there a second choice, or an estimate of when this unit will be available?
Thanks,
