http://www.iandroidtvbox.com/xiaomi-mi-box-4k-version-2-0ghz-quad-core-2gb-bluetooth-4-0-rj45-android-4-4.htmlI was in the hunt for a trusty Media Player that would soon most likely replace my trusted Xtreamer Sidewinder which has been serving me for 3 years now.
My primary consideration was the budget. I would not want to spend more than Php 4,000 for a media player. Movie files are just like test movies for me. If it is a good movie and worth adding to my bluray collection, then I buy an actual bluray movie. My LG TVs sometime read or not read properly movie files hence having a trusty media player which can read all movie files is worth having.
I was intrigued by this Xiaomi Media Box which says its capable of 4K output, bought it at 3,500 brand new with 3 months distributors warranty and very sleek. It blends well with my black gears. It could read my 2 and 1 TB HDD thru a USB hub without an issue. It has very strong Wifi connectivity. Picture Quality is superb with my panny AR100. I have no way of testing the 4k capabilities but suffice to say I like what I see. It has other features which I have not tried out like games.
Weak points. The distributor would still need to install the english language because it is native in Chinese. While it cannot decode HD Audio (DTS lang) but I already emailed Xiaomi and suggested that i was hoping they could add up HD audio encoding.
For my use, I think this is a good buy and worth the attention of other enthusiasts here too. Thanks for reading.
