Conclusions
I’m
very impressed with this latest offering from VL System. Clean to install,
low case clutter, bright display, and lots of customization options…there’s
a lot to like about this VFD. My favorite feature was the new USB connector,
a vast improvement from having to route the bulky serial connector like the
one found on the L.I.S. series. The remote works great with Windows MCE
2005, and is very easy to use. About the only thing I could gripe about was
that the M-Play software. First, some of the features are not very
functional and I also had an issue with the startup screen always starting
out maximized. My particular system does an automated chkdsk and defrag
followed by a reboot at 4 or so in the morning…so I’d always have that damn
configuration screen pop up. I found myself wishing for a system tray
centered interface - it would have made that integration a little smoother.
Another little drag is that it apparently only comes in a silver color…which
could be a bit of a problem for a device that must be visible in order to
utilize the remote if you happen to have a black case. Ultimately though, VL
System has a real winner on their hands. Once they get the software issues
worked out, it will be hard to beat. EM Recommended!
