Editor's Choice: Voimtle
Voimtle, the cheapest of the three, yet has the equivalent features as the other two in terms of resolution, response time, viewing angle and so on. However, what made this editor so strongly recommend this product is its online connection. Real-time news, weather forecast, You Tube contents viewing feature cannot be comparable to Speed Technology's multimedia file playing function.
