  • Le design classe et discret, et une qualité de fabrication honnête, Bonne qualité de décodage, Prise en charge vidéo HD 1080p, Ultra HD et 4K, Le support des codecs HEVC, VP9, VC1, etc. et d'un large nombre de formats vidéos (MKV, DivX HD, MOV, MP4, etc.)

  • Nvidia ambitionnait de croquer une part du gâteau sur le marché des box avec la Shield Android TV, mais dans un même temps avec une vraie volonté de séduire un public adepte des lecteurs multimédias traditionnels (voire une frange des HTCPistes). Certaine...
