Need Internal Blue-Ray Player Suggestions.

[123364]

Just need suggestions for an optical drive for my pc so I can watch Blue-rays. This seems like an easy purchase, but I don't know anything about Blue-play players so I decided to ask the forums. I prefer a quiet unit. Tyvm!

Budget: Under $120.

Resolution: 3440x1440
My monitor: AW3418DW

Do you mean standard blu-rays or the newer ultra high defs? I'll assume standard. I notice you mention a 'player' but I would recommend a 'burner' ... they're only a bit more and can be very handy. 25 GB blank blu rays are very affordable (verbatim is a good reliable brand).

This one has good reviews and has a 'silent play feature' specifically designed for movie watching ... at $78 it's well within your budget.

Software wise .... I tend to use PotPlayer (free) for blu-rays although PowerDVD (not free) is probably considered the 'gold standard'.

What are the ultra-high def. players? Is that for 4k monitors?

 

[robert600]

Yes, for 4k ... not as simple as sticking a uhd player in a pc and hooking it up to a 4 k monitor though. The hdmi out has to be HDCP 2.2 compliant and very few video cards have this.
