The blue LED adds further elegance and the stand will allow the user to position the writer vertically or horizontally as preferred.
  • Efficient format conversion - ASUS Blu-Ray players/writers are now 3D compatible and allow for 2D to 3D conversion as well as Full HD 1080p playback with no loss of quality. For better conversion from DVD to Blu-Ray, ASUS has integrated standards for upscaling non-DVD content to HD format.

    It couldn't be better!

    I've tried all the burning formats and everything works fine.
    You need good burning and playback software. The device is among the elite, but the many free software downloads on the Net will not give maximum performance from this magnificent device!

    Does not read 4K

    Very disappointed, contrary to some reports, this player does not play 4K BR.
    Relatively quiet.
    Good player, but does not fit my needs.

    Good engraver

    Its big flaw is that it is imposing.
    It looks good and the Asus finish is there.
    The best thing about it is that it plays my entire Blu-ray DVD collection, and burns/plays Blu-ray DVD in silence for me.
    The bundle is disappointing, Asus does not impoverish itself by providing completely obsolete burning software but they have the merit of being there.
    The USB 3.0 A-male-B-male is a good choice, but it's not the only one.
    It does the job, recommended purchase without any problem.

    Very good product

    This ASUS burner is top notch. It is recognized by Windows 10 and can be installed in a few seconds. I tested it burning DVD, Blu-Ray and no problem, very fast burning and no noise, very quiet. It's very fast delivery by LDLC as usual. It is a very fast and reliable drive. I would recommend it.
