    Nice blog. Maybe an option to select desired language between french, english and chinese so it wouldnt clutter up so much? Found it somewhat difficult to read.

    Hi all,

    An update of my x10 review after some tests


    ----------------

    - The auto frame rate / resolution works perfectly with movies

    - I no longer have the signal cut off on my TV when the zidoo switches to the right frequency with this new FW Beta

    - Unlike some people I did not notice a ratio problem.

    - The box switches in the right mode according to the video



    ----------------


    - The following demos are not smooth in my case,


    [​IMG]



    - About the 10bit problem (banding) since the FW 1.4.12 and compared with other boxes, the AUTO mode (12bit signal) does the job well, so I will not talk about this little problem that disappears using the auto mode.

    ----------------

    VFD (Zidoo X10) during video playback in 1080p, UHD HDR and UHD




    Display of the resolution and the frequency at the top left at the start of a video, present with the new FW beta 1.4.20




    My new settings :

    One little issue with new 1.4.20 is the time Display out of every 10 seconds it jumps one second

    So goes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9,

    As you watch a movie in 1080p DTS i have found .

    Hi all,


    As I said above, the following demos are not smooth (micro stuttering) in my case with my X10/FW1.2.20 and my Zidoo X9S FW 1.5.0

    I checked with an Egreat box and the videos are smooth, so I guess the Zidoo has a problem

    People or Zidoo can they check on their side ?

    Thanks in advance

    So, yes at begin and in the end of video you can notice more. I tried differend setting of "truemotion" and have result little little better. But yes there are micro-scat when camera moves
    EDIT wrong impression. truemotion doesn't do better

    Do you have some new impression from new 1.5.0 firwmare or is it just the same of 1.4.20? Banding problem? It remained?

    OlivierQC Well-Known Member

    hello davicom,

    I have not done the update yet and mirror did a simple copy paste in the old thread of 1.4.20, i guess it's the same firmware,

    and Mirror never answer my questions since several months, we will not know if there is a difference.

    see you

    Hello! I bought a Zidoo x10 that develops in about 10 days and I need an information: what model of internal HDD works best on this device? I am in the doubt between: Seagate 8TB Desktop HDD SATA 6Gb / s 256MB Cache 3.5 "Internal Bare Drive or Seagate SkyHawk 8TB Surveillance Hard Drive - SATA 6Gb / s 256MB Cache 3.5-Inch Internal Drive or WD Red 8TB NAS Hard Disk Drive - 5400 RPM Class SATA 6 Gb / s 128MB Cache 3.5 Inch or other…?
    Which one is the best?

    Hello Ruy,


    I'm just talking about my experience.

    I used a WD Red 3To 5400rpm for 2 years in multimedia boxes...no problem, very quiet and does not heat up.

    Now I use an Seagate baraccuda 8TB and there is no problem either...it is noisier than my WD RED 5400rpm but in my case it's not a problem, I do not hear it during the movies I have a dedicated room with high sound level.

    takes a 5400rpm hdd and it will be ok
