Conclusion:

Let us summarise the most important positive and negative points below:

The main positive points:

The LG BP40NS20 is a very impressive drive, it comes with a good software package, but most importantly it comes loaded with the latest technology. The drive can burn BDXL discs at 4x, it supports burning of MDISCS, and if you have the right hardware you can also enjoy 3D movies.

Portability is one more thing that makes this drive a great choice, light weight, and it only requires two USB ports to power the drive. The Drive is also very stylish.

Burning quality is generally excellent on CD-R/DVD-R/+R and BD-R, also the LG BP40NS20 is a very good reader.

The main negative points:

The only negatives for the drive are the slow read speed when it comes to audio extraction, also improvements with rewritable media would be more than welcome in a future firmware update.

To sum up, this is what we would say:

“The LG BP40NS20 has shown excellent performance. The drive supports reading and writing of all formats, including MDISC and BDXL.”

Because of the many features that the LG BP40NS20 has, and the very good burn and read quality, I decided to award the LG BP40NS20 with the “Safe Buy” award, and give the “Excellent” rating.
