Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Electronics can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new electronics should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

Great quality hardware mediocre software

JBLG85 3/13/2024

Bought this product in January. Its a little noisy when it winds up the disc but quickly quites back down as the Blu-ray plays along. Happy with the quality of the hardware the software could use some work.

Works ok on DVD and Blu Ray. Have not been able to install any software from CD. All drive does is spin up and stop and repeat. All firmware is current.

Simple excellence .. still relevant in 2023

JustHarry 1/8/2023

Just updated my desktop to brand new HP running Windows 11 Home. Love the new HP but it came without an optical drive and maybe Im old fashioned but I still want one to load software/drivers and play dvds and music. This LG drive installed and operates flawlessly .. and the bundled software is excellent. Dont hesitate with this one easy buying decision winner
