Arun Davis 3 Report post Posted January 9, 2013 Hi I recently purchased a LG LED TV 32LS4600 link (http://www.lg.com/in/tvs/lg-32LS4600-led-lcd-tv) for my office use. Primary use is for staff to use during lunch breaks. I am now contemplating to use it for business presentations and client meetings. Basic use is to show ms office, you tube and websites. I have come across two or three options. I request people who have used/ are using these to give me their valuable feedback and to suggest the best alternatives. Option 1. Full HD 1080P HDMI WIF Android 4.0 Media Player Internet TV Box HDTV http://www.ebay.in/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=271019892699 Option 2. Measy A5A - Anrdoid TV Box with Built in WiFi Media Player http://www.ebay.in/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=121010091455#ht_8457wt_1139 Option 3 Measy U1A - Anrdoid Mini PC - TV Box with Built in WiFi Media Player http://www.ebay.in/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120991017193#ht_14481wt_1139 Option 4 AMBRANE ST-11 SMART TV STICK + BILL + 1 YEAR AMBRANE INDIA'S ON SITE WRT http://www.ebay.in/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=251188469253#ht_3432wt_1002 There are additional accessories avaliable with these for keyboard and track pad. Can i use Logitech K400 Wireless Touch Keyboard K400 (link http://www.ebay.in/itm/Logitech-K400-Wireless-Touch-Keyboard-K400-Warranty-/271134523492?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_203&hash=item3f20e08064#ht_5559wt_906) with any of these. The default ones that comes with these are not user friendly. Awaiting valuable suggestions. Mods please move this to the appropriate thread as per forum rules if necessary.

nellorian 23 Report post Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) I have been using 8gb favi smartstick bought from http://www.favientertainment.com/v/vspfiles/SmartStick_custom/index.html and I connected the TV with wifi and I also connected logitech mouse and keyboard with unifying receiver(attached to favistick usb port) and working very good. I bought online and got it delivered to one of my friends address in US and while my friend coming to India, he brought the same to me. It is a small device sits on the back of the tv. Power adaptor is also given by the company but I am using the tv usb port for the power and is working fine. Edited January 10, 2013 by nellorian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ami1 237 Report post Posted January 10, 2013 Why don't you use a Android Tablet with HDMI out ? I am using one similarly and the advantage is that you can edit easily on the tablet without mouse/kbd requirement etc. Lot of tablets have HDMI out. In mumbai you can get them from veedee.in or you can buy many Asus and other tablets with HDMI out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rajanmehta 4,056 Report post Posted January 10, 2013 Simple suggestion: Avoid sticks/boxes with 512MB RAM (Micromax has 512). 1GB is available now on many at more or less similar cost. Opt for latest Android 4.1 Jelly bean. Available on many and again at similar cost. Having said that, possibly opt for boxes with more ports then going with stick. We had an entire topic here >> Interest check: G-Box II Android TV Box running JellyBean Some members bought and using. The topic gives almost all info you need as well as you can buy if some member there wants to sell. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Once I received I will post the review. My friend is using this and said it is great. The reviews of this are really positive. except that the xbmc is still in alpha state. It costs 10.5k in GEB. Contemplating on going for this if i dont get the G Box II which is out of stock. Do post a review of the same when u get it.
