  • Abstract:  LGs GGW-H20L is the first optical drive weve seen that can play both HD DVD and Blu-ray discs. It is also the first Blu-ray writer weve seen that can write to 50GB Blu-ray discs. Frustratingly, 50GB discs are virtually impossible to buy and we we...

  • If you want to make cheap, fast data backups, DVD is still the format to beat. With even the cheapest write-once Blu-ray discs working out at around 45p a gigabyte, Blu-ray has a long way to go before it becomes a viable medium for anything other than...

  • The noteworthy price drop from its predecessor - along with its fast BD-R and BD-RE performance and its format-bridging abilities - make the LG GGW-H20L an impressive package overall. LG is even delivering this dual-format drive at half of what the co...

  • Reads Blu-ray, HD DVD and all DVD formats and CDs, writes Blu-ray, DVD and CD
  • Slow in DVD writing, expensive
  • The LG GGW-H20L Super Multi Blue Blu-ray rewriter and HD DVD-ROM drive is a very essential part of a complete HD solution to take care of whatever you want to do with HD video content. Even though HD DVD has become a thing of the past, you can still u...

  • Supports all known formats, including HD-DVD
  • Outrageously expensive, Lack of writable media availability in the local markets
  • Ever since Blu-ray emerged as the winner in the HD wars, theres been a steady rise in the number of manufacturers offering drives based on this format for laptops – and now, desktops. LG, with its GGW-HXXX series, is one. The GGW-H20L drive is ...

  • Even with a clear winner in the HD format struggle, Blu-ray movies are anything but mainstream at the moment. Retailers and manufacturers are starting to get their act together, with Blu-ray movies becoming more affordable. The main barrier to adoption...

  • Lee todo tipo de formatos, HDDVD incluido, Excelente acabado, Graba BD de doble capa, simple y regrabables, Dentro de su segmento tiene un precio inmejorable.
  • Comparando precio por GB almacenado aún no sale a cuenta comprar grabadoras Bluray ni discos vírgenes, Falta que mejoren las velocidades de grabación de BDs,
  • Sin duda alguna, he disfrutado analizando este producto. Soy de los que opina que el soporte óptico aún tiene muchísimo que dar de sí, de manera que poder experimentar con lo último es siempre un placer.Tener la LG GGW H20L es tener lo último en soport...

  • Ciertamente es pronto para que el BD o Blu-Ray se convierta en un estándar dentro del mundo del PC. El DVD aun tiene mucha fuerza, y la seguirá teniendo durante años, y los precios aun son comparativamente muy elevados. Aun asi por...

  • Polyvalence, Simplicité demploi, Design plaisant, Impression LightScribe
  • Rien
  • Le constructeur LG, qui commercialise déjà un bon nombre de lecteurs et de graveurs optiques, propose depuis peu le Super Multi Blue GGW-H20L. En digne successeur du GGW-H10N, il en reprend la plupart des caractéristiques techniques y ajoutant au passa...

  • Nous voici arrivés au terme de cet article et pourtant il subsiste encore quelques interrogations au sujet de ce graveur, en particulier au niveau des mises à jour firmware. En effet, LG nest pas toujours réputé pour son suivi de matériel, or, il e...
