LiteOn-ovi uređaji nas po ničemu posebno nisu oduševili, ali
niti razočarali. U testovima se vidi kako nisu puno brži od starijeg Pioneerovog
modela, što je i razumljivo. Jedina ozbiljnija zamjerka ide na popriličnu
količinu buke koju oba uređaja proizvode pri 16x pisanju, dok smo Lightscribe
modelu zapamtili i bež ladicu koja nije obojana u crno kao ostatak prednje
maske.

Lightscribe tehnologija je zgodna novotarija kojom eliminiramo ispisivanje
naziva raznim markerima i dopušta nam kreiranje uredno ispisanog teksta ili
slike po vlastitoj želji. Kvaliteta ispisa čistog teksta je zadovoljavajuća,
dok je kod slika nešto lošija i bljeđa, bez obzira koji način koristimo (normal
ili best). Cijene oba uređaja su vrlo povoljne i nema velike razlike među
njima. SHW-16H5S (Lightscribe) košta oko 260kn do 280kn, dok SHM-165P6S košta
oko 250kn. Ako vam se sviđa Lightscribe, a nemate potrebu za korištenjem DVD-RAM
medija preporučamo SHW-16H5S model.

Conclusion in english

LiteOn`s burners have neither delighted nor dissapointed us.
In conducted tests we can se that they aren`t much faster than older Pioneer
burner, which is understandable. The only true flaw of both models is the
noise they create while writing DVDs at 16x speed. Also, we noticed that Lightscribe model
SHW-16H5S has a beige tray, altough colour of the front mask is black. This is not a big problem, but it’s a little bit unprofessional from our point of view.

Lightscribe technology is a nice new gadget with which
we can eliminate old fashioned CD-DVD markers, creating text or pictures by a precise laser beam. Of course, nothing is perfect. Quality of text labeling is satisfactory, while
a picture is a bit pale, no matter which setting we use (normal or best).
The prices of both burners are very good with no big difference beween models.
SHW-16H5S (Lightscribe) is worth about 260kn – 280 kn (in Croatian stores),
while SHM-165P6S is worth about 250kn. If you find Lightscribe technology interesting,
and you don’t need DVD-RAM support, we can recommend SHW-16H5S
model.
