    Strato C player

    If you love movies and a have a dedicated space for the best movie watching experience, this is a must have. Although expensive, it is by far the best AV quality and convenience you can achieve.

    Great AV Product

    This product delivers on what it says. It is expensive but works and works well. It doesn't do HDR 10+ or Dolby Vision but most projectors and TVs don't either. It does do everything else and looks great on projectors and TVs.
