New AC Ryan Playon!HD Essential Full HD Media Player Offers Great Price/Performance Ratio

Although most full HD media players released on the market lately also provide networking capabilities, the truth of the matter is that there are still quite a lot of users out there looking for a friendly, no network product that they can simply attach to their home entertainment system and use for playing multimedia content stored onto various USB storage solutions, and that's pretty much the category AC Ryan targets with its latest Full HD media player, the Playon!HD Essential.

Available in 500GB, 1TB and 2TB versions (yeah, this thing also packs a built-in HDD), the Playon!HD Essential allows users to store and enjoy their multimedia content in Full High Definition on their TV sets via the HDMI interface, while playing back files stored on external drives (USB disks, USB hard disks, and media cards such as SD Cards).

Furthermore, a completely unique, newly designed user interface enables easy navigation of features, users even have the opportunity to customise their own background wallpaper within the main menu.

Additionally, the Playon!HD Essential will also automatically organise and manage users’ media content with a unique Smart Database system that auto indexes all media files.

Plus, as an extra bonus, the Essential can be easily transformed into a networked media player by connecting one of AC Ryan's own wireless-N USB dongles to one of its many available connectivity ports.

AC Ryan Commercial Director, Mr. Tobias Brinkmann, explains: “Media Players have recently become a much more mainstream product.”

“The Playon!HD Essential has been developed due to overwhelming consumer demand for an entry level, no network, lower price point media player.”

“Our research has shown that the existing no network players have inferior format support, features and video quality. The Playon!HD Essential has a fantastic new user interface and a number of other cutting edge functions and features, making it the most exceptional media player of its class,” concluded Mr. Brinkmann.

As mentioned right from the start, despite of the fact that we're talking about a networkless media player here, the truth of the matter is that the Playon!HD Essential offers quite a lot of interesting features, given the price points, which ranges between 140 Euro for the 500GB version and 199 Euro for the 2TB model.
