Xiaomi commitment to 4K TV with its own very cheap media center

Xiaomi 4K Media Center

In the television market everyone wants a piece of cake. Manufacturers every day offer new proposals in the form of new televisions in which each bet on his own (each strip by an operating system) or with options such as media center to a more affordable way to turn any TV into “smart”.

In this sense Apple pioneered with the launch of Apple TV, a good device but from the point of view of many too limited (limitations imposed by Apple). Then came others like Nvidia, ASUS Google (with its Google TV early and then Android TV and Chromecast ) … all have their set-top-box and the last to arrive, Xiaomi, without making much noise has presented one of the most interesting proposals.
