Hi Jim. Patanong.
One of my relatives is interested in the Egreat but does not need Full 3D (raw). Should I still recommend to him the R6S 1186 or mas OK ang 1185 equivalent (for 2D of course) or pareho lang? Gusto nya raw magtipid first and foremost but have a reliable NMT that can play usual MKVs in 720p and 1080p, and if possible ay Full BD (2D) Folders/ISO. 3D lang ang hindi nya (daw) type.
Thanks for the advise!
Matulin kasi yung 1186 na chip over 1185, kaya I'd go for R6S.
The R6S has USB 3.0 host port naman so swak sa newer portable disks, assures na disk throughput is there if needed sa big chunk playback. Also, been working with naked boards, I find the R6S cooler over R6A-ii (they share the same enclosure look, meron lang VFD display si R6S) assuming powered up at the same time and played over the same period.
I often find myself on the road with lodging pag ginabi, laging si R6S ang road companion ko.
I find the 1185 noticeably slow response when navigating the UI pero playback is flawless (favorite ni anya ang 1185 pang marathon sa shop nya
The 1185 (R6A-ii, R160, R180) though has nice coverart(navigate by thumbnail, select brings you to sysnopsis)/posterart mode (navigate by poster) which i miss in the 1186 kaya i requested sa egreat to get that in.
PM lang pag need mo unit
