I believe all 4K blu ray players are region free. I have a Samsung from 6 years ago and it plays 3 regions of 4k discs I have just fine. I want to upgrade to a Panasonic DPUB820K and that seems like it will be the same.
Though maybe it's 4k blu rays aren't region locked?

Yes, this is correct. The discs are region-free, not the player.
And if you want, 220 Electronics is selling a region-free version of the Panasonic UB820.
Using a PC
I can emulate any region I want if a disk is region protected.
I don't know about "cheap", but 220 Electronics is known to sell region-free Blu-ray players.
I can also vouch for them. I'm very happy with the Panasonic DP-UB820 I bought from them.
I bought my multiregional Blu-ray player from them - reliable and the best price I could find when shopping around.
Same as EMPEROR, I purchased my Sony UBP-x800m2 from them and, even though it was not cheap, I use it nearly every day (including Region B discs). So, I would say that it was worth it.
I see that Blu Ray drive peripherals exist for computers, but my TV is my computer monitor and a separate player seems like a smarter option.
Wouldn't it be smarter to just use the PC that is already connected to the TV? It would be easier to find one that isn't region locked and would likely also be cheaper than a standalone. Assuming it's a desktop you could put a front bay drive into, anyway.
On Reddit we have r/dvdcollection, r/boutiquebluray, r/4kbluray, r/steelbook, r/vhs, etc but let's start simply with a community to cover all the forms of home video collecting.
So, do you feel nostalgic for a format? Are you looking forward to a release? Heard any exciting news? Want to show us your shelves? Then post away.
