Amoi 40" LCD build-in card reader ROCKS!!!! booest Nov 23rd, 06, 10:10 PM #1 (permalink)
I was just fiddling with my Amoi 40" that I got a few months back.
And yes, I bought it knowing only the pric and the resolution.

Then I notice that there is a Card Read on the Panel.

I slot in a memory card with Photos and a aVi file and

BANG!

it plays pics and AVI as well. But not all AVI is play-able.... still
darn happy with it. watching anime on my 40" panel is really groovy

Anyone knows if the firmware can be flashed to support other codecs?

Anyone?

PLUS: It has a USB port as well. Will probably try to pay stuff from a 2.5"

imo not worth it. at most your tuner only has s-video in, too many AD-DA steps.
