Good price! Does it support 1080p?
And all that is missing is a Ethernet connection to use it with my NAS…
Yes it supports 1080p
How could Viewsonic overlooked the WiFi or Ethernet? Without network connection, a media player is not going to fly.
no avi – would that mean i would have to convert all my movies before i could watch them with this? if so i’d rather use the one from western digital
