Works fine, provided you have a TV with 1080p Full HD resolution

The DBPower Dual Core HD Android 4.2 TV Box makes on paper does not look particularly attractive. Today, a dual-core processor acts indeed almost antiquated. Appearances can be deceptive, however. At first I was skeptical as to whether the device is at all able to provide smooth, steady video.

High makes the device a good idea, although it is so inexpensive. The connections are easily accessible. Anyone who wants to connect a TV via SCART, is attached to the appropriate cable. However, this connection is only intended for television tube technology. Who still loves his 20 years old, and this TV does not want to replace it with a modern device, this can equip with Smart TV and Internet functionality. However, one must still get this adapter, if you connect via Scart: Hama Adapter Scart IN to AV RCA

The unit I have it sent to me, as my Sony LCD TV does not work with Flixter and has no smart features. In addition, my wife looks like Asian films and without Internet browser with appropriate language support can not access such sites. Since the device is produced in China, it has of course with such languages ​​the fewest problems. I have connected the device to the big screen TV in the living room and jokingly to a small TV in the bedroom.

Then I connected the keyboard and mouse via USB. A USB microphone makes sense since you can then use the OK GOOGLE function in the browser, and no longer needs to tap as much.

At the small TV, the device works, but the image can not be adjusted so that it is displayed optimally. Once a television has a lower resolution than the 1920x1080P with 60Hz in Full HD, the picture is zoomed and the edge is cut. Solve could not be this problem. Only at the large screen TV, which has this resolution as so-called native resolution, the image is optimal and the edge is where he belongs. Surely you can set the resolution to 4: 3 or switch to less pixels. Optimally you never get it back, so that the menu bars disappear and are not clickable with the mouse. This is annoying, but not to influence. A firmware update does not exist and the server is unreachable.
On the big TV there is nothing to complain about. Everything is on TV now just like on a tablet or on your smartphone.

My wife and I can now films from the Asian region on the TV in the living room and not like before, just look on the laptop with similar programs. The movies run smoothly, micro stuttering or skipping when sound I could not hear. The small box works quite excellent. In future I will still replace the clunky keyboard and mouse to a wireless device that combines both functions, so that it does not look in the living room, as in a private office.

Very handy, I find that you can choose between wireless and LAN. Either you use the TV box via the cable connection, or depending on their location simply by radio. So no separate extender is required.

The dual-core HD Android 4.2 TV Box has fully met my expectations and our television expanded by many useful functions that are no longer nachgeschoben and presented by Sony as a firmware update.
