The LG Blu-ray burner is exactly the same as the current best sellers on Amazon under internal Blu-ray burner and meets all expectations. Is also very quiet in operation and fast in burning. Only the design of the eject button is a little extravagant, because it is not a separate "Button" as you know the but a curvature of the material that can be easily press. Can you like, but you do not. Design Technically definitely something different, that there is a drive "only".
Since I myself have previously used only VLC plays and this no Blu-rays, I wanted to have a corresponding software. With this complete package here you meet these requirements very well. CyberLink is well known, first stop for Blu-ray playback. In addition, editing / organizing / backup softwares are with this, not all of which I got installed. Registration or entering a key is required, this will be entered automatically during the installation, very pleasant.
Both the firmware of the Blu-ray burner and for the CyberLink software Suit was just an update is available. Both could be installed without any problems and then everything was just as good as before.
For other accessories include a specially packaged MDisc, a power adapter from a normal 4-pin to 2 times SATA power connectors, a SATA cable and fastening screws. Nothing special, but quite helpful for many users.
Really stands out here is my opinion, but the price-performance ratio. Currently I paid 87 for the whole package, alone of the Blu-ray burner by LG will cost as bulk, ie without any additional accessories or even software, currently 68th We currently talking here about 19 extra charge for MDisc, the two cables, the four screws and especially the CyberLink software, among others in the Power DVD is 10. Power DVD Only 10 would currently at 35 ... plus all the other software.
The bottom line is a very good Blu-ray burner that all current reproduces / burns with the included software.
PS: For 3D playback capability (which can both drive and software should), I can say lack of appropriate hardware or TV's nothing here.
