The accuracy of the last paragraph, which stated that "LG remains one of the last manufacturers of Blu-ray recorders", was pretty severely undercut when I scrolled down and saw one of the "Related Articles" waa "LG exits Blu-ray player market," dated 12/12/2024.
Blu Ray player is one thing, and a recorder is an entirely different thing.
unfortunate. pioneer was the last drives that where of any quality. (btw the link to the wh14ns40 drive is broken lol)
