Page 1 of Anyone bought the Lite-on 5045 with 160GB hard drive yet?

Just wondering if anyone has taken the plunge with this machine yet and whether they would like to share their findings??

RB,

I`ve posted a bit of a review on the Bargain Buckets forum for the Liteon LVW-5045; go look there...

In fact better than that... go buy one, they are well worth their salt.

OH I forgot to mention, that in the record modes HQ SP LP EP SLP


HQ (33Hrs on HDD, 1Hr on DVD) record/playback is as good as your origianl signal (obviously you would exoect nothing less), but considering that it`s been through a mixture of A to D and D to A conversions, and through rescalers/DENC`s etc, thats not bad.

SP (66Hrs on HDD, 2Hrs on DVD) is Excellent video quality also and absolutely good enough to not be a problem from record/playback perspective even to my discerning eye.

LP (99Hrs on HDD, 3Hrs on DVD) Still a very good picture, which most folk would still say is that digital. Well worth using this format if you want to put a film which is more than 2 Hrs in length onto a single DVD.

EP (132Hrs on HDD, 4Hrs on DVD) Still a whole lot better than VHS, your mum would still think that it was digital ;)

SLP (198Hrs on HDD, 6Hrs on DVD) Haven`t had time to try this mode yet, still I can`t see a reason why I would want to use it!

(The above were all watched on a 32" Widescreen TV, so if there had of been any

:) Thanks nerd_face, on my way over to the Bargain Buckets right now!!!!!
