Laser's BLU-BD4K-384 4K Blu-ray Player Opens for Pre-Order in Australia Only

The player is notable for playing standard Blu-rays and DVDs from any region alongside 4K Ultra HD discs, so imported releases and existing libraries in PAL or NTSC formats will work in the same unit. The specification also covers HDR10 and Dolby Vision, high-resolution audio, and playback of media from USB drives. TechRadar reported that it came across the listing via Reddit.

On price, the AU$499.95 figure works out to roughly $350 or £265 at a straight currency conversion, which TechRadar described as competitive for the feature set.

Several compromises are built into the model. It does not support HDR10+, it carries a single HDMI port, and it connects to the internet through Ethernet rather than Wi-Fi, according to the same report.

Laser's official product description highlights disc compatibility across regions and display standards. "Bring imported releases, favourite box sets and your existing movie library together in one setup," the blurb reads. "PAL, NTSC and Auto television modes help match playback to compatible displays."

Reaction among Reddit users cited by TechRadar was positive, with the launch described as "extremely welcome" and "great news." A three-year warranty is included with the player.

Australian buyers can place pre-orders now. TechRadar, which covers Blu-ray players, said it hoped Laser would eventually make the BLU-BD4K-384 available beyond its home market, noting that customers elsewhere currently have no way to order the model.

Editor's Summary

Laser's BLU-BD4K-384 combines 4K Ultra HD disc playback with region-free DVD and Blu-ray support, Dolby Vision and high-resolution audio at AU$499.95, though it omits HDR10+ and Wi-Fi. Pre-orders are open only in Australia, with a November 2026 launch planned, leaving buyers in other markets waiting for a wider release.
