The editors liked

  • The main TV sensor which houses the Android brains looks a bit like Xbox Kinect and is happily slimline and plonks right on top of your TV. It hooks up to your TV through a supplied mini HDMI cable
  • And is easy to set up. Getting live on the internet is easy as plugging in an ethernet cable or plugging in your Wi-Fi credentials
  • Which is a piece of cake thanks to the jam-packed QWERTY keyboard on

The editors didn't like

  • The Archos TV Connect falls flat due to the controller itself
  • Which is unfortunately
  • The main way of navigating through the OS. The attempts to recreate a Wii-style pointer with the controller works well at times
  • But this is effectively an Android for tablet user interface that you have to control from the other side of the room
  • And that just doesn’t work. Think about it this way - there’s a

  • Abstract:  This clip-on device for a TV that pairs over Bluetooth with a joystick-style QWERTY keyboard sounds complex, but it's far from it. Archos's latest Apple TV challenger isn't going to win any design awards, but as a £99/$130 gadget that puts the Android sma...

  • The Archos TV connect is an ambitious attempt at bringing the Android experience to the living room, but it falls short due to its frustrating controls and lack of accuracy. Sure, it’s crisp and smooth and HD, but it’s also a user interface that’s mean...

  • Abstract:  Smart TV is becoming harder to ignore, with ever-more features being crammed into virtually every new TV. The Archos TV Connect wants to bring all these latest connected goodies to those who don't have bang up-to-date tellies. It's an Android set top box ...

  Published: 2013-07-26, Author: Grégoire , review by: lactutechno.com

  • Abstract:  L'installation du TV Connect est assez simple : il suffit de placer un petit boitier assez discret sur son téléviseur, de le brancher sur une prise secteur ainsi qu'à la télévision grâce à un câble HDMI fourni. Une fois branché le paramétrage s'effectue c...

  • Lecture de très nombreux médias dont vidéos HD, Accès aux applications du Google Play Store, Services connectés, Double interface de contrôle, Rapport qualité/prix
  • Clavier exclusivement QWERTY de la télécommande, Qualité de la caméra perfectible, Affichage d’applications avec plus ou moins de réussite (portrait/paysage)
  • Pour nous, l'Archos TV Connect est une réussite. Quiconque souhaite apporter des services connectés au travers d'Android tels que l'affichage de sites Internet, d'emails, les conversations vidéo, la lecture multimédia et une expérience ludique relat...

  • Jukebox vidéo très réussi, compatible films et séries, Décodage multimédia: les vidéos HD passent sans sourciller, la plupart des formats sont reconnus, Navigation sur Internet facilitée par la manette, Accès au Google Play Store
  • Il n'est pas possible de configurer la sortie audio en bitstream, Qualité médiocre de la caméra, Les applications prévues pour téléviseur ne sont pas accessibles, Clavier de la manette un peu dur et QWERTY, Puce graphique intégrée un peu légère
  • Un boîtier tout-en-un finalement intéressant : capable d'apporter des services connectés (TVOD, Internet...), il est également à l'aise pour lire des fichiers multimédias. Par ailleurs, le jukebox intégré est une vraie réussite et tient tête aux meilleurs...

  • Porta tutte le potenzialità di Android 4.1 sulla TV di casa, buone prestazioni, telecomando completo, facile da usare
  • Il telecomando è talvolta impreciso, la fotocamera per le videochat è mediocre
  • Se siete alla ricerca di un dispositivo che vi permetta di replicare sulla vostra TV le potenzialità offerte dal mondo Android, troverete in Archos TV Connect un buon dispositivo.Anche se il telecomando potrebbe trarre in inganno, non si tratta di una con...

  • Prezzo contenuto, Presente webcam per chiamate VOIP, Tastiera qwerty completa, Non sfigurerà in salotto
  • Sistema di gaming non completo, Tastiera scomoda, Sistema non performante, Puntatore non sempre preciso
  • A dispetto dei due controlli analogici sul telecomando, che farebbero pensare ad un dispositivo pensato principalmente per giocare, noi consigliamo invece l'acquisto a chi cerca un dispositivo che renda smart e allo stesso tempo Android il vostr...
