Hello all. I hope all is well with evrybody. I thought of starting a new topic regarding nmt suggestions as existing ones already have long threads that go back few years ago.
I just bought a new 42" led tv and i'd like to compliment it with a media player to play movie content of external hd/usb.
What would you get - measy, xtreamer elvira, acryan, mede8er, wd? I don't like popcorn hour as it is expensive.
You can remove 3D from the equation as I'm not into that - makes me dizzy.hehe
if you are happy with the USB interface of your TV as playback, try it first. when you see the gap, you will opt for an NMT.
if 2D ka, and you have an iPhone/Ipad/Itouch - look for airplay feature.
if you are into games from google play, ask your supplier of NMT if you can download programs directly from Google Play without any need to ask the manufacturer for an equivalent app(*.apk file).
if you are into playback, check mo HiMedia Q5,
But dont discount the 3D players since the quality of its 2D picture quality has improved, plus support for audio types (if you plan to have a receiver + seperates).
gusto mo 3x the price, or PCH, then go for HTPC, keep in mind its 1 year warranty, and with the manufacturer builds,that die after 18 month, cost favors you to go NMT route, not to mention the complexity isnt for everyone.
