AGPTEK Updated 4K@30hz HDMI TV Media Player with HDMI/AV/VGA Output, Digital MP4 Player for 14TB HDD/ 256G USB Drive/SD Card/H.265 MP4, with Remote Control for MP3 AVI RMVB MPEG etc

I purchased two of these to use for Halloween animated displays using a projector; previously I used a laptop computer to play my videos and content - but these media players make setting up my Halloween displays so much easier! I don't have to drag my computers outside, sparing them possible damage from moisture and the elements. Also, seeing the computers connected next to the projectors kind of killed the spooky vibe; these media players are small enough to easily be housed inside the enclosure with the projector, making for a better overall effect. In addition, the media players were relatively inexpensive, making them a viable addition to my Halloween display equipment. The media player works well using both HDMI and VGA projectors - I have tested it with both. The only thing is when using the VGA output, you have to plug external speakers into the media player - you get audio, but it's not the greatest quality; if your audio is recorded using split channels, you might not hear all of the channels in the song (I noticed this when playing Bohemian Rhapsody). A minor nuisance, but not a deal-breaker. This issue could possibly be fixed with a 3.5mm mono to stereo adapter plug. This is not a problem with the HDMI output (which includes the audio signal). Bottom line: I would purchase this again - and most likely will as my Halloween display grows and has more effects added.

I've been wanting something like this product for years but didn't know what such a thing would be called. Recently I was about to go on a vacation and found that now, more than ever would be the time to have one. After doing much research to find just the kind I needed, as universally connectable as this version is I decided and bought it. Upon arrival I connected it first with RCA cables and then with hdmi, both times with a USB 3.0 flash drive with multiple formats of video on it and everything worked so smoothly that I couldn't be happier! It handles playback of seemingly any format of video I attempted and did so with ease. No hiccups anywhere along the way, even when I tried again with a USB 2.0 drive it still handled playback without a hitch. I could not find a single thing I was displeased about this product and would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone who has movies which they'd like to bring with them when traveling anywhere as it is the perfect travel companion when one wishes to take their digital collection with them.I am considering now to pick up a few more for either gifts or extras for myself eventually.

EDIT: after posting the review below, the unit bugged out and is no longer working. I'm returning it.I bought this unit to connect to a projector. I wanted a small unit to replace my laptop for watching movies and tv shows. This seemed to be a good choice, but it has a few issues:1. The user interface is kinda junk. It's fairly easy to use, but poorly optimized and there's a lot of redundancy. Given the price, this is mostly expected, but annoying none the less.2. There is a VGA port, but no 3.5mm audio port. the AV port does have audio out, but you can't simply plug in headphones or speakers. In my case, hooking up to a Bluetooth transmitter (for wireless headphones), I had to ghetto rig some adapters to get audio working.3. Subtitle support is pretty horrific. When you do manage to get them working, the text is very pixelated and ugly looking, which really kills the whole watching experience.4. The controls are pretty bad - I've tried multiple times to rewind video, but the system doesn't seem to like it. It lags pretty bad and it's kicked me back to the main menu a few times. Besides functionality, this remote has WAY more buttons than it should. Honestly i think the remote has more buttons than the entire unit has settings/functions.I'm somewhat torn on this purchase - it works for the most part, but these small problems are becoming more of a nuisance than its worth. I'm going to give it a few more days, but chances are likely that I'll return it and look into something else.

It works real good . I have a 5 TB Drive filled with movies and I use this to convert it to play on my TV works great well worth the money
