I think the color is horrendous. A media center shouldn't "pop" with such saturated colors, unless your TV, room, furniture is all yellow or a similar color. It also looks like it's resting on top of something, not completely level... That's just the feeling I get when I see it. The specs are fine, though that all depends on the price they're asking for it as well as how good the support is.

All potential Rockchip users should be well advised to read this Important thread regarding Kodi support for the Rockchip SoC as a Kodi media player platform and then make up their own minds.

The Kodi devs make some very interesting points.

Yeah, but Rockchip are the only ones who do offer h264 Hi10P support (though in a quick cnx-software review at least the box they tried failed...). For those of us who want to be able to play those files (pretty much all my home videos are in that format as it helps avoiding banding, so it's a must) there is not much choice. It's basically spend $30 on a Rockchip box or spend $300+ on an Intel based system that consumes significantly more power, too. Everything in between won't do.

Cheap Asian Android mediaplayer sellers are notorious for just quoting Tech specs as though a mediaplayer will play everything perfectly right out of the box. When this is usually far from the truth and a lot of it is just marketing BS.

Zidoo are actually one of the worst offenders with this type of Marketing BS, as demonstrated by their previous Rockchip / Kodi mediaplayer effort the Zidoo X6 Pro. A lot of Kodi users on this forum no longer trust them because of this product.

Until there is solid testing of Hardware decoding of h264 Hi10P using Kodi or the MX Player App, be very very cautious and suspicious.
Looks like Hi10P decoding fails according to this thread:

Kitkat? Lol
My point exactly about RK being basically clueless about android

PS Please take into account that hi10p is *always* software decoded on a stock Kodi...

You are only as good as your weakest link, meaning if the support for the chipset isn't there then the software won't be able to implement it that well most of the time. It's an old story... Software and compatibility is equally as important, often more so, than the hardware.
