Question: Ninety dollars for this thing???!?! How on earth can this thing be worth ninety dollars? It doesn't even have speakers. It's a remote and what might be an hdmi cable. I demand justification for this now ><
Document: It is better than I would have thought, and way better than any review on here lead me to believe. I really think that anyone looking to buy one should consider that the remote might be faulty, leaving you with a really expensive Zune charger and HDMI cable. If you don't care about money then it would be worth the risk. Luckily my girlfriend has a Zune HD as well and I can just let her use the other dock in case it happens to work once the new remote arrives.
I wasn't happy with spending this much money on a simple dock but it ended up being worth it. There isn't much out there for Zune HD docks so you might as well spend the money and get this if you have a TV in the room where you would use it the most. Some buttons of the remote don't seem to work (ever) but the fwd/back and home keys all work great and that's all I really need.
I wish I could have had a chance to actually use the thing. I plugged it in, got audio out of my stereo. Tried to get video, and it was no go. Took the Zune out, checked the tv output selection, and then reseated the Zune into the dock. Now there is no video OR audio out, and the remote doesn't even work anymore. I live overseas, and bought this in the states when visiting family.
Zune also does the screen-saver thing which gives you something to look at while you are listening, although that wears off pretty quickly. I don't have any HD movies to try out but it plays widescreen PAL video very well. In fact, it's probably too good as all the compression artefacts show up, like watching digital cable TV.The remote control is another excellent addition, although it takes a while to work out how it functions.
once again, you'll learn to live with it, but it is annoying. this happens even if i use the tvs internal speakers.picture quality is just as good. I uploaded pictures i'd taken with my olympus epl-1, a 12 megapixel camera. each photo was 4-5mb large. on my 40" tv, photos were sharp, and colours were vivid, and not a pixel was out of place.
If you would rather use a component input to your screen, purchase an pc-to-component analog cable instead of an hdmi-to-hdmi cable. Videos are also less hassle from your computer and don't have to go through any conversions though MTP and you can view more file types using media center or another program (dare I say QuickTime?
Microsoft is perhaps one generation away from the next big leap forward. Perhaps the next generation Zune will finally put the nails in the coffins of DVD and Blu-ray. We're very close to having a system that just replaces both of those silly old technologies.This thing is $89 but it's so worth it. Call me crazy, but I'm seriously considering buying another one of these docks and giving it my friend for his TV so I can plug my zune in over there when I visit.
The packaging was simple and cool looking, not too much wasted plastic. The device comes with simple instructions and rgb and an hdmi cable. It does not come with a toslink (optical) cable which is actually what he ended up using to the receiver and hooked the hdmi directly into the tv. The reason we went with this set up is that when using the dock with hdmi, as soon as you touch the touch screen on the device while it's on the dock it turns the hdmi out OFF.
This cost of making this equipment is less than 20 Dollars, Why would I want to pay 100 dollars when you can just as easily pay 5$ for a HDMI cable and hook up my PC or Laptop to my TV.There are hundreds of other products that do this and many other things at the same time.For instanceXbox360 with a USB drive. less than $200 (connects to internet, netflix, plays games, HD output)VsZuneHD + Dock.
For those of you who still own the older generation of Zune players may still need the composite cable, but why do you buy the HD dock by paying so much more when you can just get the older generation docks at a lot cheaper price? Just get a 3rd party 3.5mm AV cable, I might be wrong at that.You can also buy a $3 HDMI cable because I see absolutely no differences compare to $30 to $60 or more Monster cables.
Answer: I just don't understand when basic connectivity became such a premium feature that it's worth more than a third the cost of the original device. I guess I can just vote with my dollars and not buy one =\
