LG CRD 8240B

Advantages: Extremely stylish, Excellent Quality, Exceptional graphics
Disadvantages: A little expensive, A less well known brand

...I decided it was time to update my home monitor. I already had a TFT monitor but it was from the early days when they had just been introduced so it was rather bland looking, beige in colour and the quality was not up to todays standards. When going out to buy a new monitor I wanted an exceptional quality picture, a stylish sleek design and something that would not go out of fashion quite so quickly, and the LG Flatron L1520B met all these requirements. ---------- Design ---------- "Fashion" I hear you suprised, what is this bloke on about, since when have monitors had anything to do with fashion. Well incase you hadn't noticed, the past couple of years or so, monitors have become increasingly desirable in design and image.

Advantages: PERFORMES WELL LIKE OTHERS.
Disadvantages: NOT A LEADING NAME IN HARDWARES AND SLOW

...Although LG is not the leading names in both computer hard ware and software production but they have some thing really to offer in this their LG GGW multi blue precisely. The LG drive is capable of copying and reading information's as fast as it can and on the other hand the DVD play back. I got this specifically for writing and duplicating plates.

It has lasted quite long in my household without problems and I like that. The drive needs Microsoft windows XP software recommendations, windows XP home edition and other Microsoft wares. It has a buffer size of 4MB and with also built in buffer under run... Read review

Advantages: reliable, fast, good quality, not-too-picky, handles all formats
Disadvantages: limited to 8x reading from some formats, missing some 'expert' features eg cannot do disc quality scans or report C2 errors

...I bought my LG 4166B drive because it was reccomended as being reliable and I was anxious to avoid having some of the problems that I'd been having with a Sony dvd-writer. I was also interested in its capacity to deal with all different kinds of media, including DVD-RAM. Many people might think that all DVD-writers are pretty much the same, but unfortunately that is not the case. I've found that drives vary considerably in their ability to burn without serious errors on different varieties of media. Some drives are extremely picky about the media they can burn on and are not compatible with that many discs. You might find that your back-up material burnt to DVD is pretty much useless because the drive that burned it couldn't handle the type of disc you used and produced so many errors the disc was unreadable (this happened to me...
