Mp4 Player With TV Output?

MicoMan (Elite) posted this on Friday, 23rd November 2007, 23:12

I need some help finding a new Mp4 (divx/xvid) player that ouputs to a TV. The only one I can find is an Archos which after you buy the dock is well over my £100 budget.

I currently have a 1GB Vizo player which at £45 was a bargain at the time. Still works ok but I want a bit more storage and better controls.

Requirements:

2GB min ( SD update slot prefered)
Must play Xvid/Divx WITHOUT conversion
TV Output (cable supplied)
Under £100

The screen size is not a problem as long as its clear.

Any help appreciated.

I appreciate that you have set yourself a budget, but sometimes it is worth going slightly over to get what you want.

The Archos Gmini really is worth every penny. You can buy it new on Amazon for £140 plus delivery. I have seen one of these. The picture quality is amazing, and the TV output is very good quality. If you buy a budget brand, you will not get such good quality video.

Maybe you`ll find something cheaper, but I bet it won`t look half as good as the Archos.

I like the Archos but just hate paying extra for docking station which takes it up to near £200 so way out my limit. Also the dock is not that portable which I need for work.

Vision M? I had not thought of that one? Controls a bit s*** but £15 for video cable not bad. Referb though? Pain to charge when we had them at work only seem to charge on Creative Charger and not other makes? Not sure but good try.

Anything cheaper?

I don`t think that particular Archos model needs a docking station, it just plugs in. The lower-end of the *fancier* Archos players do.
