  • The SMP-N100 could have been a great media streaming device. It’s a small, unobtrusive device with the minimalist style that Sony pulls off pretty well. But the overall experience makes it pretty clear that this was built by engineers with presumably l...

  • Sony Xross menu is easy to use and integrates with other Sony products, Quality upscaler results in better picture quality, regardless of quality of streaming video, x.v. color and 12bit Deep Color result in a wider range of colors with natural color gradations, HDMI control (HDMICEC) turns on your TV and home theater system when you turn on the player, It only displays compatible file format
  • It can only play a few file types; file format compatibility is very limited, Its unique Netflix apps and other video apps don't display video or scenes when fast forwarding or rewinding, Easy Setup is incomplete; users must find their way to set up wireless connection and other necessary settings, You must register the unit online before the included apps will appear, It will notify you when

  • Frustration with the app aside, the Sony SMP-N100 is a solid media device. It allows you to leverage your existing content streaming accounts like Netflix and Hulu Plus but also includes the ability to steam your own content across your home network. ...

  • Inbuilt Wi-Fi, impressive playback performance, user-friendly interface
  • No recording capabilities, uninspired design
  • The Sony SMP-N100 is an HD media player that can wirelessly stream content from a PC to a TV over your home network. While its price is a little on the steep side, it remains a reliable and user-friendly product...

  • Services de VOD et de musique en ligne, Wi-Fi N intégré
  • Mauvaise compatibilité multimédia dans son ensemble, Lecture réseau uniquement via UPnP, Vidéos MKV et M2TS invisibles en UPnP
  • Le potentiel du SMP-N100 est clairement sous-exploité. Les services web sont de qualité, mais la compatibilité multimédia trop hasardeuse pour que l'on puisse recommander ce boîtier....

  • compact, bonne qualité d'image, bon support de format, interface utilisateur joviale.
  • un seul et unique port usb pas très bien placé.
  • Le boîtier TV Sony SMP-N100 réussit presque un sans-faute. Sa prise en charge des codecs pourrait être plus étoffée mais ses fonctions internet sont vraiment complètes....
