About the PX-740A
Take a look at what Nero’s InfoTool shows about the PX-740A…And here’s a snapshot of DVD Info Pro’s take on the PX-740A…
Chipset Information
Plextor has changed chipsets for the PX-740A model from the Sanyo to Philips’ Nexperia PNX7860E chipset, which BenQ also used in their DW1640, which we included in our summer roundup.So, it seems like the PX-740A is just a re-badged DW1640. We can’t really say that “Plextor has stooped low”, since BenQ has made some pretty decent performing units in the past including the DW1640. With that said, the PX-740A obviously does not include any of the features that the PX-716A had, such as the GigaRec feature, which lets you burn larger amounts of media onto a standard CD.
Take a look at what we should expect from the PX-740A…

STFUI swear some of you on here are the most perfection-centered people I've ever seen. Give it a break.
