TV is to buy at least a few years. We do not change it as often as a mobile phone, so it is difficult to be always up to date with the latest specifications. A large screen Full HD is still not enough. Even the 3D display function does not count as much as a wide range of Smart TV. But what about the situation when our TV was not on the advanced features and trendy features? Or if Smart TV on our TV is simply poor? There is a way! We checked how to change old or poor TV feature in the “new”. We had the opportunity to test the device Measy U1A RC11 controller of the same company.

Virtually all TVs suffer from any lack of Smart TV. Some offer a richer, others poorer facilities. There are also the older generation of TVs that do not allow you to use online TV application, such as ipla, TVN Player, VD, YouTube and WP.TV. However, even if we have an older TV, all is not lost. The market will find a solution that will allow us to access the applications available in the latest TV models. How is this possible? With the help of miniature computers come sized memory sticks and Android.

One such solution is Measy U1A, which includes one of the smallest computers on the market. In fact, a miniature dongle comes with a microSD memory card slot, USB port and HDMI. The whole is running Android 4.0 and allows you to breathe the spirit of Smart TV on any TV with HDMI input. The test U1A received a device that combines a wireless keyboard and gyroscopic remote control that allows you to comfortably operate the Android interface.

Performance and Memory

The construction

Measy U1A is based on single-core ARM processor clocked at 1.2 GHz and 1 GB of RAM. Configuration appears strong for such a small device, but remember that modern smartphones have slim multi-core chips. Force a bit lacking, so that the liquidity of the interface is far from my expectations. In the long run, can irritate the jam.

There’s a built-in flash memory of 4 GB, which can store videos, photos and applications. Modest internal memory can be expanded fortunately microSD cards.

Connectivity

Measy U1A connects to the network wirelessly. It allows among others to play media directly from a DLNA server or NAS. Supports up many popular file formats. Doing even HD video playback at 1080p. During the tests, all the movies and music files play without any problems.

device connected via HDMI cable to the TV. Draws power from the USB port. If your TV does not have a USB port or there are problems with the delivery of the appropriate amount of power from the port, you can use the external power supply. Equipment tested on two televisions. In the case of Samsung, there is a problem with power, but it was enough to clasp dongle port dedicated hard disk. In the case of LG TV equipment worked flawlessly on any USB port.

System

device runs on the Android system does not have the latest version 4.0, prepared specifically for tablets, informal and adapted to the needs Measy U1A. The system can be quickly and offers additional functions such as the ability to browse the Internet, receive e-mails or access the Google Play Store.

role browser equipment is doing poorly. I suspect that the problem is too little power, making web pages with Flash elements scrolls very slowly, and sometimes hang.

Control

To use Measy U1A, you need to stock up on the controller. The manufacturer has prepared a dedicated device that facilitates the use of Smart TV services. Measy RC11 is a remote, keyboard and mouse connected to one controller.

Pilot is sizable. It measures 57 x 200 x 23.5 mm and it works with the systems of Windows, Mac, and Linux, and Android. RC11 offers a full QWERTY keyboard and gyroscopic mouse functions. The unit is powered by three AAA batteries and works wirelessly. The nano receiver communicates via 2.4GHz wireless technology.

controller is quite heavy, but comfortable in the hand. The buttons are small, but they work fine. It is a pity that they are not highlighted. RC11 allows you to quickly enter text, much more convenient than using the standard remote included with the TV. Gyroscopic mouse works fine, but the accuracy of the LG Magic Remote Controller a bit lacking.

Summary

If your TV is not equipped with Smart TV features, Measy U1A will give you access to all the possible content. In addition, gain the ability to play media files, just like on your PC. On the plus side, it can be included remote control RC11, which provides convenient control of Android and typing. But deciding to buy this equipment, you have to reckon with the fact that its performance may leave much to be desired. This can be compared with the performance of Chinese Android tablets of similar configuration.

should also remember that the system is cheap. We can have it for less than 300 z?. Without a doubt, a very attractive price. The manufacturer also announced a quad-core version dongle’a. If Android on it will run smoothly, and the price of the device will be just as attractive – we enter into it in the dark.

quick and easy installation
+ quick start system
+ access to games and applications Google Play
+ the ability to play movies and music
+ Built-in Wi-Fi
+ memory expandable with microSD cards
