Absolute Rubbish!

Simple plug and play? Well, I've been plugging and trying to play for 6 hours with frustrating results; no sound on commercial DVDs, refusal to play others and mind-boggling operating steps to endure to play the few that actually made it through! By far the most useless piece of electronic gear I've ever bought.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Garbage

Will not work. Windows 10 does not recognize drive. I just read over 30 other reviews with the same results. LG should offer refunds/credits to get a model that works!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This drive worked well for a couple of years of very infrequent use. Then it failed to eject the disc and also could not read the disc. Tried it with different audio discs, then with a video disc - same problem. It just stopped working without warning.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Possibly good hardware... software sucks.

The software they give you for this device is HOT GARBAGE. I expected way more from LG and something that advertises Microsoft Surface compatibility. A thirty dollar coaster is what this is for me at best.

Not great for playing DVDs

I bought this since most newer laptops no longer come with a built-in cd/dvd drive. Was hoping that it would be able to play dvds when on the go. I haven't been able to get anything to play but music cds. It's also not compatible with my smart TV. It burns cds fine, but otherwise this is useless to me!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
