I got a free LG UP970 UHD spinner with my 65B7 recently, but I returned it as it made a crazy amount of noise when playing 4K discs. By noise I mean buzzing from the drive mechanism, with the loudest points being the start and the end of a movie. The buzzing was so loud it overpowered the dialogue quite comprehensively, and I have a decent speaker set-up.
I got a replacement player back today and it has the same issue. So my question is, are all of these players basically junk? The build quality is certainly poor, resembling a bargain bin £50 DVD player from Asda, but still, the noise this thing makes is unlike any disc player I've ever used. I'm amazed that LG could release something which is so obviously broken.
Weirdly it's much, much quieter when playing regular blu-rays.
Not sure what to do now, other then obvious - eBay and buying a completely different brand of player.
