CDFreaks reviews the LG GSA-4166B (last 1.02 firmware)
http://www.cdfreaks.com/article/262

I like CMC Mag impressive burn quality.

"With all things considered", the drive obtains is "safe buy" stamp.

Good drive, but no PCAV?

Best drive I know with Panasonic chipset. LG does a great job with the tuning. 4166 is 16X CAV only, PCAV is only for 4167 with Renesas chipset.

Hello!

A great drive

Looks like the FW-programmer from LG beat Benq and Panasonic easily

Well, it took LG long enough to get it right. Their initial firmwares were horrid.

It would also be interesting to see what the writing quality looks like when tested with something other than a Lite-On.

Yep, but who test it with a Benq?

Lots of scans with Benq 1620, 1625 and even the picky 1640 here:

make a post.
at the bottom of the "post a reply" window, there's a section called "add an atachment". you browse to the file you want to attach, a graphics image in your case, add some text comment and click the "add attachment" button.
