The Mvix MV-4000u is a digital multimedia center that can render dozens of video, audio, and picture formats. Defined as a base model, the MV-4000u does not offer networking or wireless capabilities. Critics do cite though that the 4000u includes more features and file format capabilities than its less expensive competitor, the Vizo Milano. It must also be noted that the MV-4000u does not come with an installed hard drive, therefore requiring users to purchase a 3.5” IDE drive. The MV-4000u, however, feature an integrated media player, video/audio drivers and codecs, and USB 2.0 backwards compatibility. Furthermore, although the Mvix MV-4000u does not offer either HDMI or DVI digital video output ports, it does include numerous A/V outputs such as composite video (720p or 1080i), component video, and S-video, as well as analog stereo audio, coaxial digital, and optical digital audio.
