Installed my LG blu ray burner last night only to realize its complete shit and won't read any blank media. Go go AVCHD until I can get another brand! Beware LG crap guys! I shoulda known lol

Nothing wrong with LG burners just get a replacement. If it won't read blank media that doesn't mean all LG burners are shit, it just means that the particular one you have is shit. You have a warranty, send it back.

In general I have found great success with them, and any time I ever had problems, it was because of the use of really shitty media (e.g. TDK DVD+R DL, or no-name cakebox shit). Verbatim/Taiyo-Yuden for DVD+R, and Verbatim for DVD+R DL is the way to go.

Beware that newer dyes cause problems for older drives often enough, or such has been my experience. I don't know much about BD-R media, so can't comment on that.

And if you know you're using quality media, an RMA would be a good move.
