I tried search eBay for "4k uhd drive" & got some results, albeit, a bit pricey...

My current one has gone on the fritz and I'm in the market for a new model. I'm looking at this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DPPWKMGK/?coliid=I1ALWXX3L6UOGQ

so with these i got on amazon it seems like they don't sell 4K players (or the ones they do sell apparently do not come with a power bank that is needed to... well power it) I also (as stated before) ran into an issue where the blurays weren't reading and I just need to know: Is there some kinda program I need in order to get VLC to read the blurays? I'd take bluray over 4K for now but any brand recommendations would help.

I missed the 4K part of your question... I assume something exists that would play 4K UHDs but I don't know of it and I'm not in the market myself. As for playing Blu-rays with VLC, it needs a "codec" which you should be able to download for free. However, I have never been able to install one properly--it takes some fiddling. I was hoping a new player would be friendlier, but I usually use them for my old CDs and DVDs, though I'd prefer it to play new BRs as well. Good luck, maybe someone else will know more.

damn I wish there was a way to make it easier; it blows my mind I have this high end PC but there's no simple plug and play BR or 4K players for PC

I haven't really kept up with the tech, But learning a new term (UHD) kinda puts it in context....

I'm guessing this might be a good place to start.....

i'm taking a look but it seems like that also has the same issue as most the UDH readers where it doesn't actually support 4K; I guess I'll have to find some way to wire a 4K or bluray player to my PC using a capture card. shoot.
