NEUMI Atom 4K Lite Ultra-HD Digital Media Player for USB Drives and SD Cards - Plays 4K/UHD Videos, HEVC/H.265, HDMI and Analog AV, Automatic Playback, Looping, Trigger Capability

Modern TVs should be able to do slide shows all by themselves, but I've never found one that could be programmed to turn itself on at, e.g., 10 am every day and start going through images on a USB stick. An LG TV, at least, can be programmed to turn itself on and show whatever is on HDMI2, for example. If you plug this Neumi device into HDMI2, therefore, you can have a digital photo frame on your wall during the daytime instead of a big black void. There are two menus that you need to use, one for the overall device (set to autoplay photos) and one for the slide show itself. The settings seem to be sticky so they should survive power failures. For autoplay you need to format a USB drive as NTFS and put all of the photos at the top level of the drive (can't organize into folders). This device comes with a wall wart, which makes no sense in our age of USB/USB-C. This makes it tough to have the device turn on/off with the TV. Also, the remote is infrared-based instead of radio/Bluetooth. It would be better if one could control this from a phone via Bluetooth or at least with an RF-based remote so that the box could be hidden behind the TV.It doesn't seem to have an option to display either the filename or a caption associated with each photo.The device is compact enough to travel with so if you need to do a slide show on a TV at an event and don't want to rely on a laptop computer this could be useful.

I have purchased 4 video media players. The ATOM 4K LITE media player performance is the best. The remote is simple to use, the player responds well to the remote, Picture quality is great. I have 3 external hards drives connected to the inputs. 2 8tbs & 1 4tb. The player sees all 3 hards. The ATOM 4K LITE player is a excellent buy and well worth the money. Why did you pick this product vs others?:I was looking for a media player that would accept a 8tb hard drive.

We ripped much of our music CDs to an external hard drive and also stored our music videos on it. We were surprised to learn we could connect the hard drive to our Sony Blu-Ray/dvd player with a USB cable and play these files over our TV. However we have more than one TV and didn't want to move the dvd player back and forth. With a quick search we learned there was such a thing as a media player. We bought the NEUMI device because it was the cheapest on Amazon at the time and it had good reviews. We plugged it in (hard drive to NEUMI by USB, NEUMI to TV by HDMI) and ta-da! it worked. It actually recognized the hard drive with less fuss than the dvd player does. The picture and sound quality are, as far as I can tell, the same (although the small TV is a limiting factor for the sound). The remote is pretty easy to use and has positive "feel" to it - no delay or need to press more than once. We play .flac, .mp3 and even .wav audio files and .mp4 video files and have had no problems (some of the video files are over 2 Gb in size.) We use a 4 TB Western Digital external hard drive also with no problems. One criticism is the NEUMI usually doesn't show the metadata (artist, song title, album) for the music files although there is a place for it on the screen--it does show the file name which is usually the song title. The Sony dvd player does show the metadata for the same files. Also, sometimes it is hard to navigate backwards without going past the screen you want. All in all, it's a good little device than does what we want it to. I'd say 4 and a half stars but I'm rounding up to 5. (If it starts having problems or stops working, I'll update my review.) We're in the process of downsizing and we think that with a decent sound bar we won't bother with a separate stereo system.

So far this device has been working very well. It's easy for less tech savvy individuals to navigate.

This has been a reliable video source for driving a TV or monitor, displaying photos in a slide show like a "photo frame". It's a good use for old (slow / small) USB drives or SD cards, and an excellent re-purpose of an old-but-good monitor. We tried it on various models and it worked fine on all.Since this device consumes very low power, we just let it operate continuously; meanwhile we turn the TV/monitor on/off by timer or motion sensor. The Atom 4K Lite just keeps running the slide show, with no glitches at all.The device offers much more flexibility for the slide show mode than a smart TV, especially for the timing. Overall it seems to be well thought out by the programmers, and a mature design based on Android. The image quality appears excellent, after all photos were down-sized to the UHD native resolution by Adobe Lightroom and exported as sRGB. Playing videos with 2-channel audio also worked perfectly.We had a couple of questions initially, and the support response was fast and totally helpful.Ordering more!

I use this for watching my movies on a TV rather than my computer. There's also a photo mode, which can turn your TV into a huge frame. The transitions for photos are a bit weak, but I mainly use it for movies anyway. I haven't noticed any lag or freezing, so that makes it perfect quality for what I need. My only suggestions would be an automatic switch to the next video after mine plays to the end, and better photo transitions.
