LG GCC 5241P

Advantages: Affordable, reliable
Disadvantages: none

...I bought this a few months back when I was building my PC. I was looking for something that was combo for writing CD's but did not require a DVD RW drive. This was perfect! The pricing is excellent for this drive and is perfect for a budget builder. You just plug it into the IDE slot install a few drivers for DVD play and viola! I have never experienced a problem with Writing Cd's and every time the CD comes out perfect. DVD playback also is very smooth.

Once you have put all your images on to a DVD then you can delete them off your computer and free up valuable disk space....The LG writes to all formats!!! including +R/RW and -R/RW (if you dont know what they mean then read my review on the JVC DVD player and I reveal...

...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. Out with the beige bulky boxes, in with the flat silver stylish designs. And there are an increasing... Read review
