4k NMTs - what is the best ?
« on: Oct 20, 2015 at 03:15 PM »
It's been awhile since I've read up on NMTs.

Anyway, what are the new NMTs that can play 4k / Ultra High Def? What would you recommend?

1) Popcornhour VTEN (approx P9,000+)
2) ??
3) ??

By the way, do you know if any new NMTs can play netflix? I still use an appleTV to play netflix (so additional player pa).

Thanks

I bought it outside the Philippines then sold a few here at PDVD.

All units were taken already.

I appreciate the regular firmware update and the active forum at Futeko.

Locally available that I could recommend are...

Rank 1: NVidia Shield Android TV
Rank 2: Popcorn Hour VTEN
Rank 3: Zappiti Media Player
Rank 4: Open Hour by Popcorn Hour

But if you could source the HiMedia Q5 or Q10, they're the best in terms of (video/audio)playback compatibility... But if your main priority is picture quality, build quality and top notch user interface... then I highly recommend the NVidia Shield :)

Thanks to those that posted.

By the way, meron ba sa mga na post nyo ang pwedeng mag play ng iflix? (www.iflix.com)

I am already using netflix to watch videos pero baka mag iflix din ako since mura lang naman and baka mas mabilis since malapit lang sila sa Pinas.

Just got a 4k TV

Planning to get a media player with 4k capabilities and can support external hard disk. Even limited or no smart capabilities. Even no 3d. Important only is it can upscale my videos to 4k.

Or shall I just wait for a 4k bluray player

One more question nga pala...

My media player will be connected to my receiver then receiver to my PJ, if this is the case, the video and audio processing is being done by my receiver, right? now, the only way to use the media player's video processing is to directly connect the media player to my PJ (considering that the media player has better processing than my receiver)...

the problem now is, how about the audio processing? how can it be processed if there's no digital out except the HDMI out of the media player?

Mas mahal pa pala ito kesa PS4...
http://gameonegadget.com/android/devices/nvidia-shield-android-tv-500gb.html

Yup, di sila masyado nagkakalayo sa price... can it play 4K resolution ba and decode dolby atmos if i use it mainly for movie viewing with very minimal gaming? kaya ba nya mag-handle ng large files or large external hard disk capacity?

hdmi carries both audio and video.

Yes indeed, but my question is if the media player (Nvidia Shield) is directly connected to the PJ via HDMI, then how am i going to connect it to the receiver for audio processing?

Just connect the NVidia Shield via HDMi to the AVR and disable all hdmi video processing of the AVR. Its like HDMI video passthrough...

Yes. Right now I just plug my 1 terabyte external hard drive to the usb slot and it plays all types of media including mkv. Although the interface is nothing great. But I don't mind getting a dedicated  media player as long as it has better 4k up scaling. Is there such a thing? Or should I just wait for a 4k Bluray player.
