    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    This model is now discontinued and finding an alternative is almost impossible


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It also recognizes mp3 but does not recognize some of the newer high resolution audio codecs

    Doesnt have room for a huge amount of information and viewing angles are great
