Tiny, lower power use, cheap, great picture quality, good range of useful apps, USB input, built-in wireless, plays pretty much everything
A bit slow to navigate menus, bug sometimes crashes device and needs restart to recover
When the WD TV Play arrived, we didn't really know what it was going to do better than any other device. In fact, it turned out to be better than almost anything else we've used as a media player. It didn't encounter files it couldn't play via DLNA...

Easy to set up, Compatible with almost any playback format
Tricky to use, Depending on preference, the remote may seem “outdated”, Content loads slowly, Has fewer apps, compared to Roku and Amazon products, No parental controls, Used more power than other devices we tested
Excellent sound and picture quality, Unit powers on whole home theater and switches inputs, Easy direct-access buttons on remote for Netflix, Hulu, Vudu
No Amazon VOD app, Poorly executed Facebook app
As long as it supports all the services you use, you'll find the WD TV Play will deliver consistently high video and audio quality and a nice user experience at a very good price....
