Test : Dune HD Magic 4K Plus.

Si il y a bien une marque qui peut se vanter de founir des produits audiovisuels qui perdurent dans le temps, c’est bien Dune HD. Le constructeur nous présente ici une box multimédia au format réduit, la Magic 4K Plus. Permet-elle toujours de laisser la marque au haut du podium ? Voyons voir cela

Préambule.

Dune HD, marque peu connue du grand public et pourtant adulée par les fans du cinéma haut de gamme à la maison, propose des produits à la finition exemplaire pour offrir le meilleur du cinéma.

La marque tente ici le produit haut de gamme mais début de segment pour concurrencer les Apple TV et autres box chinoises. Est-ce que les compromis permettent malgré tout de profiter de ce que la marque à toujours proposé ?
