LG set to release its new Art Cinema XF2on April
When it comes to storage-based media players that you connect to your TV, it all boils down to performance, compatibility, and capacity. LG’s XF2 player ships in April and, with its 1080p video and 5.1 audio output over HDMI, has the performance side covered. In terms of compatibility it hits all its marks (MPEG 1/2/4, h.264, Xvid, DivX, FLAC, WMA, AC3, etc. etc.), also supporting subtitles and captions in a number of formats. Capacity, well, 500GB is good, but more would have been better, especially given the lack of a network interface — and the price. This one will retail for 270,000 won, or about $240. Yeah, ouch.
