LG GSA-4082B DVD Writer Review

By Ian Bell July 4, 2004

Quote from the review:

“A standard DVD-/+RW disc holds about seven times more data than a regular 650MB CD-R, and DVD-/+RW’s are rewriteable like regular CD-R/RW’s. The LG GSA-4082B drive PCstats is testing in this review tackles CD-R/RW and DVD-/+RW media as well as DVD-RAM discs. The LG GSA-4082B can write DVD-/+R media at 8X, DVD-/+RW media at 4x, DVD-RAM at 3x and read DVD’s at 12x. For standard CD media, the drive can burn CD-R’s at 24x, CD-RW’s at 16x and read CD’s at 32x. The drive has a 2MB cache as well as BURN proof technology. Essentially, with this one drive, all of your recordable optical media requirements are covered in one sweep.”

LG’s new 480Hz gaming monitor just changed the game

God of War running on the LG UltraGear OLED 45.

LG isn't waiting for January to launch its next generation of OLED gaming monitors. The company revealed three new displays joining its lineup, as well as updates to the OLED gaming monitors it already offers. One of them, in particular, stands out due to a dual refresh rate feature that can reach up to 480Hz.

The UltraGear 32GS95UE is the star of the show. It's a 4K OLED monitor with a 240Hz refresh rate, but LG says you can switch to a 1080p resolution with a 480Hz refresh rate with a single click. You can map the function either to a hotkey or a directional switch on the joystick, allowing you to quickly swap between high-resolution cinematic gaming or competitive settings.
