FAQ

‘Media player’ is a fairly loose expression. Technically speaking, it could be anything that is capable of playing some sort of media, such as streaming services. Today, when we talk about media players, we usually refer to Chromecasts, Apple TV, and the like. So today, it really is just a piece of hardware capable of streaming external media files.

The big question. The most common media player is definitely Google’s Chromecast. It’s a small box you connect to your TV using an HDMI-cable, and then you can stream content from your phone or computer straight to your TV. For instance, if you got a recording from your vacation, you can stream it.

Apple TV is also a contestant. It’s more of its own ecosystem, since it allows you to utilize Apple’s apps on the TV.

To choose the right player, you ought to consider what apps you want and what TV you have. For instance, if you primarily use an Android-TV and a Samsung phone, you may not really need an Apple TV.

It’s difficult to say which player is the best one. If you’re looking for plenty of functions and 4K-functionality, Apple TV is definitely a top contender. For Android, Nvidia Shield and Xiaomi’s Mi Box are both excellent options. Finally, Chromecast is the most accessible and easy-to-use solution, though at the expense of some features.
