zidooZ3000 PRO-8K Media Player, Amlogic S928X-K Processor 6G+64G,8K Android 11os, Support DV,HDR10+ and All HDR Technoly,BDMV/ISO

Better and cheaper alternative to kaleidescape. You can set it up to go to the poster wall directly and its an amazing experience. The video quality and audio is top tier.

excellent multi-media player

.... there are many things in its OS that should be easier and more intuitive Example is when you need to match some poster entries manually. If you need to search for the same thing more than once, it doesn't keep a history so using the remote arrows to select letters and press enter is very time consuming and unnecessary.The other issue is the current OS doesn't recognize many hard drives you want to use in its bay, regardless of capacity. It can't see them, won't format them and when it finally does, it hangs and you need to reboot. It's an Android issue. 24Tb HD? Forget it. They should update this or go Linux or something less picky when it comes to storage.The good news is the great image quality it delivers when using Dolby Vision / HDR etc. and it will play DTS audio and a whole lot of other formats. Once you have your Poster wall the way you like it, back it up with the included option to do that. You'll need it because at some point you'll need to rebuild it.Offering user interface in HDR is also very nice, the colors pop and if you have mostly UHD HDR movies you won't get many black screens as modes won't switch a lot. On a calibrated panel this Zidoo doesn't disappoint at all, I just wish they would have chosen a different OS as Android really blows in many aspects.

I purchased the Zidoo Z20 Pro last year, and a month later, Zidoo introduced all-new line-ups. I didn't let it bother me much, and the Z20 Pro worked fine, for the most part. After reading some reviews from current users, I decided to purchase the Z3000 in January 2025 and try it out. My number one issue with the Z20 Pro was that it would freeze up sometimes when I tried playing any 4K videos that were large in size. After a quick restart, it would work fine. The Z3000 hasn't frozen up on anything I've thrown at it, and the boot time is significantly better. It's not AppleTV better, but it's better than the Z20 Pro. For that alone, the upgrade feels worth it.

Very happy with this product, similar to old popcorn hour, but much better with great 4K quality

The hardware seems really well designed and built. Feels like high quality. However, the software leaves a lot to be desired. From the beginning I had intermittent stuttering in playback. I updated f/w twice in a month as they released. Somehow their f/w is always in beta. The most recent update made the player unusable, with worse stuttering in almost every playback, and intermittent freezing of the video. I hope Zidoo improves their in-house qc and testing to address these stability issues. I returned my Z3000.

This player is awesome! I looked at a lot of options when I was planning to replace my player and this one was the best. It runs really fast and displays video in high definition 4K, true Dolby Vision, and it works flawlessly! I put a hard drive in it and it plays all the video formats I have on my hard drive.

very nice very quick to load the movies, the tech support is awesome.there some minors issues, copying files from your server media player to player using SMB will not work!!!
