LG GSA-4120B

Wednesday September 08, 2004

$369

Price at time of review.

The most expensive DVD burner we received, it makes sense it would also be the best featured.

User Rating:

The most expensive DVD burner we received, it makes sense it would also be the best featured. This is the case, with it able to burn not only the usual swag of DVD+/-RW but also DVD-RAM and the new dual layer 8.5GB discs. If you were after a drive to hedge your bets against the entire DVD format gamut, this is certainly the drive for you. Granted it’s not cheap and is essentially an OEM drive, but what it lacks in price it more than makes up for in flexibility.

Asus DRW-1814BLT

Lite-On’s DVD writer was our A-List choice for almost a year. At the time we said it was practically perfect – offering compatibility with every format, plus Lightscribe, for a bargain price. But Asus has managed to trump it.

LG Super Multi Blue BE 06

LG’s dual-format drive is ideal for those who invested in HD-DVD before Blu-ray romped to victory in the HD wars.
