Yet again another awesome technology product that almost leaves me stuck on where to begin. I really did not expect this to be as awesome as it is but being a tech junkie that doesn't own a smart T.V., this is definitely my new best friend. For starters its a small hardly takes up any room box. And to be as small as it is, it really comes packed with a lot. I guess we shall start with the hardware.
So as I stated it's a fairly small box. But do not be fooled. It has full HDMI connection, can connect through WiFi, LAN, or VPN. It comes with 2 regular usb ports on the side (for using things such as a wireless mouse as we were doing in the video I am posting here, or a wireless keyboard for more convenience). Right next to there is a micro-usb port as well as an SD card reader. And I am pretty sure I read it has a 8gb hard drive already built into it.
Moving on to the functions of this, I have to say my best description, is this is like instantly turning your T.V. into a tablet. All while saving you that extra $150 buck difference between the regular flat screen and the smart T.V. It comes equipped with all your standard Android luxuries. Skype, Netflix, YouTube, HuLu, Google Play, Media Centers and it even supports 2D and 3D gaming. Being one of the only things I have tested out yet.
You are able to access all your settings features, clear out the memory easily as it's right on the home screen. And this thing operates super fast even being on a WiFi connection that had a speed test of about 12 megabytes a second. Today being the day our internet was slightly fixed was the first day I put it to real use. I used the browser to download the APK for Amazon Video and my son enjoyed movies all day long. Hassle free and streamed right to the T.V.
I was able to open up the browser and head over to my husbands Reverb Nation page and play his music in the player, close out the browser to look around at apps and still enjoy the music in the background. I was quite surprised at how swiftly everything moved on this. The only time at all I experienced a little lag was when Google Play started updating apps. Which is pretty usually as my S6 Edge does the same thing. Once I paused the apps updating which is the little break in the video about the point of introducing the browser it was right back to smooth fast sailing.
I really enjoy that I can turn it on plug my mouse in, stream a movie or a YouTube video without having to go through all the hassle of hooking up my laptop or other gadgets to the T.V. This is a must have if you want all the great features of a smart T.V for half the price and literally no hassle. It takes 2 plugs (Power and HDMI) to get this started and from there it's as easy as connecting the net to it.
I like this product so much, I want one for all of our T.V.s now. I would yet again Highly recommend this if you're like us with a regular non smart T.V. but you want those features. Because they are all right here in one little box.
I received this product for free and this is my own honest opinion.
