AC Ryan Playon!HD2 and Playon!HD2 mini review

 

Media players are….. complicated things. They claim they can put heaven and earth on your display (be it a TV set, LCD, plasma, whatever), but often something just doesn't work. Or they have some other annoying habit, like - you have to upgrade the...

All in all, these two media players are seriously good. They're really easy to setup and use, very fast, stuffed to their eyeballs with options, and have Gigabit Ethernet, a feature that was lacking in the first generation. They're also very...

A.C. Ryan Playon!HD2 (PV73700) media streamer

 

A.C. Ryan Playon!HD2 review: A media streamer that's packed with features, but could use better functionality

Gigabit Ethernet and USB 3.0 ; Space for internal hard drive ; Decent Web features

Interface a little slow ; Could use better functionality ; Remote control could be better

The A.C. Ryan Playon!HD2 has a long list of features and capabilities. It's not just a regular media streamer; it can also handle BitTorrent downloads, share files across a network even let you use Twitter and Facebook through your TV. But it could use...

AC Ryan PlayOn! HD2 Mini review

 

Small and almost-perfectly formed

Excellent playback quality ; Audio and USB ports

Clunky menu ; Slow boot

Almost excellent, but the simplicity of design is held back by a clunky menu system.

AC Ryan Playon!HD2 Mini review

 

AC Ryan are certainly making a name for themselves in the connected media player space. Last generations offerings, the Playon!HD and HD Mini offered easy access to video and audio files both on local storage and over LAN. The new generation, denoted...

The PlayOn! HD Mini2 makes a great addition to any AV setup that relies on digital file streaming over the local network. You can of course just plug a USB hard disk straight into the back, but to my mind it complements a nice home NAS device like the...

AC Ryan Playon! HD 2 Network Media Player review

 

KitGuru has reviewed many of the AC Ryan Playon! products in the past and we have always been impressed with their pricing, user interface and build quality. Today we are looking at their new ‘full size' Playon! HD 2 which contains a 1TB hard drive and...

Interface looks great ; Hard drive tray concept is brilliant ; Runs quiet ; High quality Samsung hard drive ; Remote is excellent ; Upgradeable ; Wireless connectivity is an option ; USB 3.0 is very quick ; Never failed with any media file we threw at...

Gigabit lan is hardly any faster than previous product ; Wireless struggles with 1080p streaming ; AMD and Nvidia discrete cards offer better image quality and more fine tuning options ; Interface can be sluggish at times, needs some speed enhancements

KitGuru says: An exciting, feature packed product which is sure to sell well for AC Ryan. The price is certainly right.
