Acer Aspire RevoView Networked HD Media Player – Digital media content viewed simply

Although it was announced way back in May, Acer have only just released the new RevoView Networked HD Media Player, conveniently in time for the Christmas shopping market we can assume. The RevoView is being marketed as being the ‘best TV companion’ for its abilities to playback media content from all DLNA certified devices, so that users can share and enjoy digital media content simply and effectively.

In short, Acer’s new device is a DLNA certified media player, which, with its network capability and full HD 1080p playback via the built-in HDMI interface, enables watching digital content on a high definition TV easy and intuitive.

It is the simplicity of how the Acer Aspire RevoView allows digital content to be viewed and enjoyed on a TV that gives Acer’s latest gadget greater appeal over other media players. In just ‘four simple steps’ consumers of the RevoView can effortlessly glide through video, photo collections and music.

Users just simply save content onto a USB device or memory card, plug in the device or card into the Aspire RevoView, connect the machine to a TV and sit back, relax and enjoy digital media collections in HD on a television.

An Ethernet port provides direct access to the internet, enabling users to watch YouTube videos in HD on their own TV or casually browse through Picasa or Flickr photo slide-shows in the comfort of their own living room.
For even greater comfort, user friendliness and to avoid having to wearily walk over to the machine itself to control digital media libraries, the Acer Aspire RevoView comes equipped with a 26-key remote control with ‘hotkeys’, enabling users to navigate favourite functions with greater ease, accuracy and swiftness.

Another plus of the RevoView, which is definitely worth mentioning, is that it can be used as an external USB hard drive, to help ease congestion of rapidly mounting digital libraries.

Being neatly and compactly designed, the Acer Aspire RevoView, with its high storage capacity, seamless playback functionalities and reserved £119.99 price tag, could well be a good companion for a Christmas stocking as well as a TV.
