ExtremeTech had a look at the quality of the images and video available on 5 different portable media players and decided that the Archos 604 was best. They compared the screen on the Archos to that of the Apple iPod, Creative Zen Vision:M, Epson P-4000 and the Cowon A2. They checked things like brightness, contrast, viewing angles, saturation and gamut using specialized equipment, added up the scores and found that the 604 was their top choice, whereas the Apple iPod 5G was near the bottom.
