The LG UBK90 is a 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray player that has been hardware-modified to play DVDs from every region and Blu-rays from zones A, B and C. It supports HDR10 and Dolby Vision, upscales standard Blu-rays and DVDs to near-4K, and has two HDMI outputs so you can feed a TV and a projector or older receiver separately. The region-free mod is built into the hardware, so it survives LG firmware updates. It suits people with a mix of imported discs and US discs, or a large DVD collection they still watch. Against stock 4K players, it adds all-region playback and dual HDMI; against high-end players it lacks analog audio outputs and a front display.

Buyers rate it highly, with the region-free playback working as promised across DVD and Blu-ray imports. Owners like the picture on 4K discs and the dual HDMI outputs. A few wish it had a front display and more streaming options.
