Double-Layer DVD: Philips, LaCie, Asus and LG

LG GSA-4082B: 8x With DVD-RAM Support

In contrast to Nero with the Asus, LG has included the complete DVD solution from Cyberlink. It contains PowerDVD, PowerProducer Gold and a DVD-RAM driver, as the 4082B still supports these rather exotic DVD media - as does its successor the 4120B.

The test results we achieved are completely in order and once again revealed the LG burner as a device worth buying - an honor the 4x predecessor also gained six months ago. LG is still attractively positioned as far as prices goes, too.
