My LGWH16NS40 manufactured May 2014, ROM VER. 1.00, has MT1959.
Since it has MT1959, shouldn't it be UHD, LibreDrive flashable?
If I am right in thinking this, I thought the rest of the community would also be interested in my discovery.

Re: LG WH16NS40 MFG May 2014 has MT1959
Since the standards for UHD didn't come about until a year after that, though, it would be strange that the hardware would be UHD-capable. The original "BD-XL" standard, which goes back further than that, did not have a high-enough bit density.
If I remember correctly, the original BD-XL was 25GB/layer, and the later UHD version is 33GB/layer.
If you're thinking of trying to flash it, verify that you can dump the current firmware first.

No, curiously MakeMKV reports it as MT1939 and LibreDrive enabled.

I just wanted to add a datapoint that my 2012 BH14NS40 drive does have a MT1959 chip, but MakeMKV sees it as a 1939.
According to the below table, they're all 1959s.
