got mine today....itchiness was too much for me
tested some of my movies and got amazed with the picture quality....way much better than the previous model. also tops most of the other media players as well in terms of PQ...so smooth, cool and relaxing to the eyes. currently exploring the other features.
this is i think the 5th or 6th nmt i tried and this one is definitely for keeps as well as my xtreamer which has functions exclusively different from the other. one thing i'm missing though is the internal hard drive capability which the xtreamer has. also much more expensive with lesser features.
Yup, for pure movie viewing pleasure, this is currently the one, and to me worth the budget-level price of up to P7K.
If you have special or other needs, consider (partnering it with) another player:
: for a host of web services including ip cams etc. and you want to free up your pc/mac, it looks like xtreamer has it covered
: for connectivity, via component video and/or coaxial audio, and huge (i.e., terabyte) internal storage, the HD Pro has that covered...
: for the most affordable but equally capable realtek-based player, I think that would be the cinematube and if I'm not mistaken the R1.
