New Viewsonic VMP70 Media Player beats WD TV in Price and Features
We love Western Digital’s WD TV “direct connect” media player. The simplicity of a tiny (two cigarette case size) box packed with every imaginable video codec, with USB connections for connecting an external hard drive and HDMI, component and S-video outs to connect to your tv, all controllable from a cool little remote via a nifty menu system – and ALL for around $100, is just super cool.
Today, life got a little cooler. Enter Viewsonic’s VMP70 1080p media player. What do we get? We get all the functionality of the WD TV. PLUS we get 1080p HD resolution (versus the WD TV’s 720p resolution) , for UNDER $100 ($98.99 according to the Inquisitr).
Life is good.
Here’s the back end – couldn’t be simpler…
