The AppleTV is HOT!!

March 29th, 2007 by Ferre

02-appletv-after-playing-fo.jpgAnd this time, I mean it literally!! Check out this test, they checked the AppleTV’s temperature after Boot Up, after playing for 30 minutes, after being turned off for 10 minutes etc.

The Apple TV averaged 104.27¬?F (40.15¬?C) when playing content from its hard drive, and averaged 97.8¬?F (36.58¬?C) when in sleep mode.

The highest temp recorded while playing content was 111.68¬?F (44.27¬?C)

But Jason didn’t just test the AppleTV’s temperature, he also fully tested the AppleTV’s connectivity and image quality. He had to replace his first AppleTV because of disappointing picture quality when using HDMI cables.

But he now, seems pretty happy with it :

the HDMI connection is absolutely brilliant. Blacks are stunningly black (not even the slightest hint of grey) and colors are vibrant. No ghosting, no color banding… just a crisp, clean, awesome picture and perfect digital audio.”

So if you bought an AppleTV, make sure to look for “ghosting images” and “color banding” that look like VHS playback than high-quality digital signal.

links from Technoratigreat picture of a hot AppleTV. Granted, it doesn’t make me feel better and we’ll be unplugging it when we’re not using it (yes, it is that hot). This leads me to my next thought… I can’t wait to try the new Roku Netflix box
