I have tested this combo watching a couple UHD movies on a an older 1080p TV and it worked perfectly. If you are building an HTPC computer and want UHD, the best budget combo at the time of this writing is the AMD 3400G processor, and the LG WH16NS40 drive with Firmware 1.02. The only "UHD Friendly" Blu-Ray drives widely in stock now are 5.25" desktop drives, WITH the appropriate pre-blocking firmware. If you want to play your UHD discs on an AMD based system, or just watch your 4k UHD movies on an existing TV, the "UHD Friendly" drive + 3rd party software such as MakeMKV or AnyDVD HD are your only options. Last I checked the "official" UHD Movie requirements are limited to-> Intel Kaby Lake CPU (or later) with Intel Graphics + PowerDVD 18 or higher + A new 4k TV with the required HDCP standard. In updating this device to use the ULTRA logo, the Mfg added something beyond the simple Firmware blocks to keep 3rd party software from playing your UHD Blu-Ray movies. Regardless of firmware, you will get a Bus Encryption error when trying to open your UHD Blu-Ray's on this drive with anything but the official (and very limited) computer hardware requirements. It seems the pre-ULTRA branded version of the LG Bu40N have long sold out and are very difficult to find. This is NOT the original LG BU40N listed on many support sites as being able to read UHD Blu-Ray discs with the correct firmware.
