Burn baby burn! Review of LG GCE 8523B by sethsurvey Advantages: Cheap and works like a dream. Disadvantages: None. ...LG GCE 8523B Continuing my quest to get back into the world of tech, I needed a reliable CD burner. I pondered getting a CD/DVD burner, but as I have never dabbled in the DVD ROM world in the past, and as I was building my system from scratch, I decided to go with what I knew best. My last CD burner was an LG, and I was more than happy with what it produced. That one cost me £49.99 a couple of years ago, so I was expecting to pay around £30 this time. I popped into Aria in Levenshulme, and they had some LD burners in the bargain bin. The LG GCE 8523B was in there and caught my eye immediately. The price also shocked me-£14.99!!! I grabbed it, and ran home. The box contained the drive, am installation cd, cables, and a copy of Nero Smartsuite, that was not advertised on the box. Result!!! This is one of the best bits of software... Read review Ciao members have rated this review on average helpful		helpful 27.08.2004
LG Flatron 795FT Plus Review of LG 795FT Plus by xXxLT Advantages: Flat, 17', good looking colors Disadvantages: Big ...3 years ago i bought LG Flatron 795FT Plus. And i'm still don't need anything else. LCD quality and response time isn't very good now. Better buy good CRT than poor LCD for the same price. LG Flatron 795FT Plus is one of the best solutions choosing monitor. Some specifications: 17-inch, 100% flat, 0.24mm stripe pitch, USB HUB. Using USB HUB you can connect 4 USB devices more. It's very practical for usb mouse, keyboard, scanner, digital camera and other usb devices. It can work in 1024x768 resolution with 100Hz refresh rate. Your eyes won't be tired after hours of working. 17-inch monitor is small today, you can look for other LG monitors with 19-inch, but if you have money only for This monitor then buy it, it's worth all money you spend on it....
