Sumvision Cyclone Micro 2+ 4K UHD MKV HDMI H.265 TV Media Player for Movies Music (Latest Ultra High Definition ARM Quad Core Engine) Digital Cinematic Surround Sound Audio (UK DESIGN UK TECH SUPPORT)

My Laptop is quite old and only a dual core Intel CPU. I am finding that it struggles to play newer movies as I am told that the latest compression routines need a quad core CPU to play smoothly. I was struggling to justify spending another £400 for a new computer as I only watch movies and surf online and really, my old laptop is perfectly adequate for surfing online. A More knowledgeable friend told me about this dedicated media player for a fraction of the £400 cost and I have never looked back since. The Sumvision Micro 2+ is a dedicated media player so it can’t do the other stuff that a laptop can. But for playing media, its dedicated chipset is perfect. It can play all modern movies. music and photos. It has AV and HDMI output so you can plug it into your big screen TVs. Which is of course a damn sight better than watching on a laptop anyway (and sounds better!) It can upscale some older movies I had to 1080p and most importantly, there was no stuttering and blocky artifacts. Being a dedicated media player also mean that it was very easy to use even for a technophobe like myself. It also has some dedicated media functions that I don’t find on my laptop. For example, it has a dedicated subtitles button that allow you to adjust the font, the size, the colour and the position of your subtitles. It also seems to work a lot better than my laptop which sometimes cannot render some subtitles. The laptop seems to dislike certain subtitles and just give out random symbols and gibberish. I could never work out why it does that, but this player renders all my subtitles perfectly. This is really good media player and the very small size makes it easy for me to take my movies watching with me on holidays. Definitely 5 stars out of 5!

I've been using the SUMVISION Cyclone Micro 2+ UHD Media Player for a while now, and I'm absolutely happy by its performance and versatility. The support for 4K UHD and H.265 decoding means that I can enjoy stunning, high-quality visuals without any lag or buffering. It's good when it comes to watching my favorite movies and TV shows. Plus, the HDMI output ensures a seamless connection to my TV, providing crystal-clear picture quality. What sets the Cyclone Micro 2+ apart is its compatibility with various media formats. Whether it's MKV, MP4, AVI, or even high-resolution audio files, this media player handles them all effortlessly. I can now watch my extensive movie collection and listen to my music library with ease. The user-friendly interface and remote control make navigation a breeze, even for those who aren't tech-savvy. Setting up and accessing my media files has never been this straightforward.Despite its small size, this media player packs a punch in terms of connectivity. The inclusion of USB ports and a memory card slot means I can expand my storage and access content from various sources. It's incredibly convenient. In summary, the SUMVISION Cyclone Micro 2+ UHD Media Player It's reliable, versatile, and user-friendly, making it a must-have for anyone who loves movies and music. I couldn't be happier with this purchase!

It is an intuitive gadget as I was able to watch movies in .avi, .mkv and .h264 format. The remote is terrible. This almost prevented me from buying it but I could not find a better alternative that can play movies in so many formats. I found that you need to point at the front of the player which is not very easy since it's tiny. I just wonder why they could not make it in such a way that it can detect signals from the remote within a radius of a meter around the player! It is frustrating to have to press a couple of times before the little player responds.This reduces the funny but I must admit, it is still well worthy the money. Is there a better remote control that one can purchase separately (assuming it's less than £10)? Most of my videos files have the .avi and a few are in .mkv and .h264 file extensions. I like converting .mp4 files into .avi or .mkv because even my favorite media player does not enjoy .mp4 file extensions. I have so far played more than 10 video files and I experienced no problem with any of the files. I also played a number of mp3 and wma files. I think you need to be careful when removing a USB Stick. I ended up separating it into two exposing the circuit board. Apparently it has no screws to hold it so when I pulled the usb flash drive, the whole front cover with the circuit board separated from the casing. I was scared but when I pushed it back, and tried it it still worked. I like how it treats photos. I just opened the Picture folder and expected to press next each time to advance the cursor. Instead the player played a slide show of the photos, with nice transitions. I did not check setting so I guess it was using default settings. Previously, I used to hook up my laptop to a Plasma TV via an HDMI cable. This was cumbersome because I had to move the Laptop from another room to the Living Room. Now, the whole family can share movies without heavy lifting. I recommend this even though the remote control is less than good. I think it's benefits far outweighs its flaws. Unless you can find one that can paly all files this one can play and has a good remote control, this is the way to go.

It's pretty good with video files, however the whole thing is pretty terrible. The menus keep switching around so you try to find something it's in a different file entirely then it switches all around. Music cannot be played on this the quality is crackly and hardly audible. Tried to go and get product advice, literally it's like trying to get blood out of a stone. I really wanted this to work because I use my laptop as my media player I wanted something that would just do the job with no hassle this is Frankly terrible. I went online to see if anyone had a solution low and behold just lots of posts saying how bad this is. Don't Buy! I am returning mine.

A great little video player, and for me, a big improvement on the earlier versions. First off, if using just for a video player is really a simple plug and play set up via an HDMI cable. For those new to media players of this kind, before you play a video, you go to settings, and choose "Display Resolution" then t video format, for example 1920x1080 30 if you TV is 1080p and the video is 30 frames per second (see attached picture). On this upgraded version on my 20 year old LG 32 inch TV, I even get dedicate 25p and 30p framerates too, along with the regular 24/50/60p. But not on a more modern TV where the options are simply 50p for pal regions or 60p if not a pal region. It does handle 4K (2160 UHD) probably best to have the player's "Display Resolution" set to Auto for this. For me I film videos in 4K (actually 2160p) at 30p but TV is 1080p and this media player set to "1920x1080p 30p" and the video still plays very smoothly. This also allows me to preview the same video file I intend uploading to the web etc, without the need to make a smaller 1080p version just to preview it. It plays most video formats too, including H.265, and older file formats. One big drawback for those used to the older models, it does not like very large Hard Drives with 100s of folders, it takes a time for the contents to show. To get around this, I'm using high capacity SSD high speed sticks with videos in folders and it works great, I'm currently using a 1TB high speed one (as seen in one picture) and this works perfectly. Yes I do recommend this product, especially as now I can keep my own footage video library all in their as shot format, even after editing.

I recently purchased this 4K media player for our retail store, and it has exceeded all our expectations. Here’s why I highly recommend it: """Auto Player Functionality"" The auto player function is a game-changer for us. We use it to display advertisements in our shop, and it works seamlessly. Once set up, it automatically plays our media files without any manual intervention, which is perfect for a busy environment like retail or shopping mall. ***Upscaling to 4K""" One of the standout features is its ability to upscale files to 4K. Our promotional videos look incredibly sharp and vibrant, drawing the attention of customers effortlessly. The quality of the upscaled videos is impressive, making our advertisements look professional and engaging. ***Automatic Aspect Ratio Adjustment*** The auto aspect ratio adjustment is another fantastic feature. It automatically adjusts the video to fit the screen perfectly, whether it's a widescreen TV or a standard display. This ensures that our content is always displayed correctly without any distortion or black bars. """Extensive File and Codec support """ This media player supports a wide range of file formats, including MKV, and both H.256 and H.264 codecs. This flexibility allows us to use various types of media files without worrying about compatibility issues. The playback is smooth and without any glitches. """Massive Storage Capacity"" The support for up to a 8TB HDD is incredibly beneficial. We can store a vast amount of high-quality content without constantly needing to manage storage space. This is particularly useful for long-running advertisements or a diverse range of promotional materials. Overall, this 4K media player is an excellent investment for any business looking to enhance its display advertising in constraint budget The ease of use, coupled with advanced features like upscaling, automatic aspect ratio adjustment, and extensive file support, makes it a top-notch choice. Highly recommended!

This is an excellent product. Plays mp4, mkv, wmv, mpg, vob etc video files with ease. Fast and responsive with an excellent size remote control. I would really have liked to keep this but had to return it for one reason only. I need it to play mp4s (movies or iplayer downloads) with the subtitles showing onscreen. Unfortunately they often do not show display. No problem playing the files with subtitles on my computer using media player or vlc, or using my panasonic TV or my 20 year old blueray player. But on using this product, only about a quarter of the films play with subtitles. I have spent many hours trying to investigate why as I would have loved to have kept this product. Tried renaming them, removing full stops or dashes in the file names, anything that might cause a problem. And of course trying every version of the video processing available, about 8 options. But still can't get them to display. Sorry. But if subtitles are not important, then this is an EXCELLENT video player.

What impressed me more is the item itself. What a fantastic piece of micro-electronics! Very small, very light, yet quite solid. It's been over 2 weeks I have been testing the Cyclone Micro 2+ and it works like a charm! I have attached a 2tb hard drive form which I have music & movies and it plays flawlessly. I have a Iomega media drive aswell and I love the Cyclone due to it's ability to read long file names, the file name scrolls if it is too long so you can see the full name. There is only one little thing that is a little dissapointing and a few have already pointed this out, the remote is an improvement from previous ones but the range and angle is poor. you have to point it directly at the unit to get a good response. However, on the plus point, I have compared the unit with my Iomega Media drive on standard def tv using the same file and it seems that the Cyclone Micro 2+ displays a better image quality. On HD tv, what can I say? Absolutely superb images, great colour, darks don't appear as pixalated as with my Iomega drive. All in all, if you need a gadget that will play media files from various sources, THIS IS THE ONE TO GET!!!! I'm going to order a couple to give as gifts to family. Why spend more than you need for quality playback from multiple sources? Just get this Cyclone Micro 2+. To those who have given bad reviews on this product, sorry you guys must have been unlucky to recieve faulty units, like I said above, I have been testing this thing out for 2 weeks and it has been running for 18 hours on a few occasions and not a glitch. Great stuff, thumbs up to Sumvision!
