  • Picture quality, fantastic build quality, plays things other players can't, loads of networking options, fantastic connectivity, can take a 3.5-inch hard drive for media storage
  • Quite expensive, have to provide your own internal storage, online services still not that compelling
  • There are some things the Popcorn Hour does incredibly well - for example, picture quality. It's very good here and neglected on other media players and especially on laptops and the like. Plus, you get the power needed to play 3D or 1080p video fla...

  • The Syabas Popcorn Hour A-400 is one of the, if not the, best media players currently on the market. The file compatibility is good, the network performance is fast, and the picture quality is high. The build quality of the player itself is impressive a...

  • Multimedia compatibility, 3D support, Jukebox interface as pleasant as ever, Free remote control app for smartphone and tablet
  • A few teething troubles: paying customers shouldn't end up as beta testers, Interface hasn't evolved since previous product generation, HDD rack design isn't practical
  • Could the shine be starting to wear off Popcorn Hour? All that's really new in the A-400 is 3D support and a video processor that's more at ease with SD upscaling. There's been no change to the interface and—worse still—Syabas seems to have mistaken its f...

  • Compatibilité multimédia, Support de la 3D, Interface jukebox toujours plaisante, Possibilité de piloter l'appareil depuis une tablette ou un smartphone via une application gratuite
  • Système de rack pour disque dur mal pensé
  • Popcorn Hour perd-t-il de sa superbe ? Ce nouveau boîtier ne fait qu'apporter de la 3D et une puce plus à l'aise dans la mise à l'échelle des vidéos de simple définition. L'interface n'évolue que peu et il aura fallu attendre plusieurs mises à jour pour e...
