I'm going to be getting a one within this week... what are the good choices and approx. prices?
I guess Benq 1650 is supposed to be good but I dunno about its availability, so would like couple of other alternatives too.
 
The dealer is asking Rs 2650 for h10a and Rs 2900 for sony dw-180. Too high?(i'm from a smaller town so, probably Rs 100 higher). Which should I get?

Also, according to him, benq drives give problems and so he doesn't stock them(though I think he was talking about rom drives).
 
Don't buy Sony DVD-Writers....They really suck in my opinion....I had bought a Sony Drive and its CD reading/writing part conked off a week after the warranty expiry date...(unlucky me)....Also there's a friend of mine who has a problem with reading/writing DVDs,again a Sony DRive....So i would advice you to stay away from SONY drives....Other hardware manufacturers are just using SONY as their bait to try their hardware...
 
@ chiron : i am not much sure about ernakulam but don't go for anything more than 2500( i am talking about benq & LG ) especially when price of DVD-Writer is reduced.
 
U really wont have problems with a BenQ 1650. Its a very nice DVDRW. One of my friends use it, n he always recommends me to buy one.

Is the Sony DW-180 or Sony DRU-810A?? if its the latter buy it without a second thought!!
 
Yeah, sorry... I'd just remembered the 1 and 8 in the name. And I asked around a bit more and just bought it for 2.7k; a couple hundred more doesn't matter I guess, esp. when I had gotten a geforce2mx for like 8.5k(now that was a bad purchase).
 
Which DVD Writer emits lower noise than others?

I had an LG Writer; it used to compete with my Creative 4.1 in terms of the noise. :) Now I am looking for DVD Writer, it need not be the "quietest"; but anything that doesn't make noticeable sound is fine. Any recommendations?
 
I think you should prefer LiteON, Benq or SONY (BOX Packed). I bought tooday a LiteON (8.5GB DL) DVD Writer for Rs. 2150/- and it's really an amazing one. SONY OEM Version are quite risky ones so you should prefer BOX Packed ones.
 
since the thread is already started i wanted to know which one to buy
LG H10A Rs.2200
Sony DRU-810A Rs.2650
Both are box packed.

Benq 1650 he says he does not stock them as they have a pathetic after sales service (I have had that experience with a Benq Monitor)

So what do you says which one should I buy
