Apple TV Review

Apple TV is a small set top box that allows you to stream content straight to your TV. Don’t be fooled by its small size, the Apple TV packs a lot of features into its tiny package. In fact, the Apple TV is so small that it fits in the palm of your hand so you can put it just about anywhere without all the clutter that a large piece of equipment would have. The latest models of Apple TV now support full HD resolution at 1080p. It connects to your TV via HDMI and can connect to your home network via Ethernet cable or WiFi connection. Apple TV also supports Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound, and has a connector for optical audio to connect to your home theater audio receiver. Aside from streaming, you can also show anything from your iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch and even your Mac laptop or desktop computer, right on your TV. That means you can play your favorite games, check your email, play videos, view pictures, or anything else you can do on your iOS device and see it on your TV. Some apps even support dual screens, such as some games that are designed to use the touchscreen on your iPad or iPhone and your TV, displaying different views for your game and giving a whole new perspective on gaming. Imagine a flying game where you can have a map and flight controls right on your iPad while you fly a plane on the TV. Apple TV can also download your latest pictures right from your iPhone and add them to your photo gallery so you can instantly see all your pictures right on your home TV. No syncing necessary, it automatically does it all. Not only is the Apple TV advanced technically, it is also designed to be environmentally friendly, being PVC free and brominated flame-retardant free, and also meets Energy Star 3.0 certifications for set top boxes.

Although the new Apple TV doesn’t have an internal hard drive like the original model did, it can stream just about anything from your computer or from the internet.
