I got this cool new little device from Fry’s during black Friday. Went online and ordered it for store pickup for $29.00
LG SP520 boxed
The box was small, 1 quarter a shoebox, but expected.
- LG SP520 opened
The box was neatly packed and things were easy to take out.
- LG SP520 Contents
Here are the contents
-
A CD with software you probably don’t need.
- A manual you probably wont read.
- AC Power supply and power cord.
- Batteries AAA Size
- Remote Control
- The unit itself.
- LG SP520 Remote and Unit
The remote worried me so I got a One For All OARC05G to use just in case. The top left and front of the unit were pretty plain, the front has a single LED is on the LEFT.
LG SP520 Connections
The back had an Ethernet port, HDMI port, Digital Optical Audi, and AC adapter.
Overall I am happy with this purchase, was worth the $29.00, I would pay $40 for it. Overall the unit performed as expected,
Pros
- Unit works as expected.
- Cheap even at regular price.
- Does wireless
- Unit supports Linux DLNA like Serviio
Cons
- I was hoping this unit would play recorded shows from my Windows Media Center, unfortunately it did not, nor did my Samsung Bluray players but my Sony TV did.
- Seems this unit can’t handle a high bitrate, but it could be encoding.
I like this unit overall, would buy it again. I do have two and have plans for them. Gonna just hit some pushups and situps today.
