I know there has been lots of threads giving opinion on Vu+ boxes or Mutant boxes as the best choice, most on a personal preference, regarding the remote or other bias, but not much on specs and performance.
The specs on the Mutant 2400 HD is more like the Duo2 as it has capability for 4 cards, but looks to be the same price range as the solo2 @ around £250 with a 1TB drive.
Looking at the specs for the Mutant 2400HD and the Solo/ Duo they are the identical except when it comes to the following
.................................Mutant................................ Vu+ Solo2
Linux kernel.................4.01.........................................3.13
Display....................OLED 256x64............................VFD 140x32
The solo 4k which is about £100 dearer has a cpu of 1500 (instead of the 1300 of the Mutant and Solo2)
My question is what's the difference in picture quality. From what I can ascertain OLED is better than VFD. I have a Panasonic plasma TV, will I see any difference between mutant or solo2 on free HD Channels. I am guessing SD will be similar? Kodi is sub SD so I doubt there will be much difference there. (having said that, does the mutant support kodi, I saw thread suggesting it doesn't (it had no replies))
I am torn between recommending "THE box to get" for a friend, I have the solo2. Is the mutant better really? If so why...and I don't mean, size, remotes, etc, give me hard facts please.
