Ainol V6000HDA Hands-On Experience

Ainol V6000HDA

This is the first hand experience of iMP3 member on his new Ainol V6000HDA. The so-called HD PMP is not really HD actually. The 4.3″ screen display at 800 * 480 resolution, a weird 15:9 ratio. Playback for RMVB and FLV is fine, but it’s terrible when comes to AVI movie. Most of the AVI movie can’t even be loaded. Its plastic casing is just as good as a thumbprint scanner. Audio is basically below the par. Luckily, it’s not all bad. The TV-out is working fairly good when output the video signal to a 16:9 CRT television.
