It can measure Jitter quite well, and the PIE and PIF scores are often much more realistic then any LiteON I've seen.
I think what you mean is that your Benq gives you the results you want to see. There's no such thing as "realistic" or "unrealistic" error scans. They are what the are, in whatever drive is used.
Ok then... how about this?
The scans provided by LiteON drives, especially in the case of newer models, provide information which is highly unreliable when compared to the real world results of the media that was tested.
Where the term "real world results" is used, I am referring to how the disc performs in a wide range of DVD-ROMs and DVD Players.
To further explain my point, I am saying that the scans provided by LiteON DVDRW drives are more likely to provide a person with information which will cause them to make erroneous or potentially data-unsafe decisions, when compared to either a Plextor or a BenQ based drive, or even compared to a transfer rate test run on most DVD-ROM units at 12x or higher.
But in general, I thought it summed up the above pretty nicely to say that the scans were "unrealistic" because the results shown often point to unrealistic expectations for the media tested.
Better?
