I first learned about LG's 2018 BD player on Flatpanelshd who was the 1st to cover this new product launch.

Flatpanelshed could not confirm USA distribution so I contacted my sources and was able to confirm the USA edition of this new BD player.

Here's our new website page with the .pdf spec sheet. The USA launch is scheduled for the week of 4/22.

I have one of these. Very nice player. One problem is it won’t play DV to a Sony tv due to the profile Sony is using. I’m hoping LG will update to enable the Sony profile, or that Sony will change to a more common profile. I was told that Sony is using a beta profile, but not sure about that. Otherwise the UBK90 is a great product.
