LG stops making Blu-ray players, marking the end of an era

LG has officially discontinued all its Blu-ray players, including the UBK80 and UBK90 UHD models, with remaining units only available while stocks last.

 

This move mirrors similar decisions by Oppo in 2018 and Samsung in 2019, when both companies exited the optical disc player market entirely.

 

LG’s decision to pull the plug on its Blu-ray and UHD Blu-ray players is reflected on LG’s online channels and has been confirmed by multiple sources to FlatpanelsHD. However, in a statement to FlatpanelsHD, LG Korea stopped short of confirming a full global exit from the optical disc player market, leaving the possibility open for a return if demand resurfaces. For now, a few older models remain available in regions like America and Europe, but they will be gone once inventory is depleted.
 

Do you still own a Blue-ray player?
