LG WH14NS40 1.01 Libredrive enable

Post by juysocal21 » Mon Feb 15, 2021 5:35 am

Hi first time to post here. I updated my mkv to the latest version and the app says that the drive LibreDrive Status is enabled.
Does that mean it can read 4k uhd disc? I haven't tried an 4K disc yet but i will buy one and see if it does.

Here is my drives info:
