Helios X3000 HD Wi-Fi Media Streamer and DVD Player Review

Date: 2007-01-25  Reviewed by: Luigi Lugmayr  Manufacturer: Helios Labs

8.0/10
I4U Rating

Pros

  • 1080p upscaling
  • HD Video support
  • Broad video and audio format support (see specs below for details)
  • Wi-fi and Ethernet connectivity
  • Great choice of outputs
  • USB port to access media on portable storage devices
  • Bundled HDMI Cable

Cons
  • Case Design a bit to simplistic and old fashioned
  • Web Browser not very powerful
  • Online media offering on Helios Media Portal not very rich

Verdict
The Helios X3000 gives you a lot of functionality in a single box. You can watch DVDs in 1080p upscaled resolution, watch and listen to your media stored on your PCs, browse the web either wired or wireless. Helios Labs could have invested a bit more into a nice case design, but the all black box also hides well in your AV component shelf.
