This is EXACTLY what my parents need. Unlike the $20 .onn Box, this both has a USB port AND supports reading files from exFAT formatted storage. Load up Projectivy Launcher & VLC, setup a USB drive with their DVD/Blu-ray content (and my mom’s dance workout videos… 😂) and suddenly they have a portable, easy to use, **offline** box while travelling or experiencing internet outages! At 1/4 the price of a Shield Pro!! Remarkable…

I just got one! I saw somebody posted in one of the streaming groups on Facebook and got online and happened to get the last one that was available out of about 10 Walmart stores in the Washington DC area. I had to drive to Alexandria, Virginia, which was about 20 miles away, I tried to buy more and they weren’t available. Thank you, Lon! I truly appreciate all of your videos and reviews and you’re just a genuinely nice guy! And have a good rest of your weekend

Onn 4k Pro Google TV Streaming Box is extremely easy to set up and use. I love the features on this device, such as hey google, chromcast and dolby vision.

[phillip]

got it a week ago and it is my favorite one yet by far. My remote is the same as yours.

[gstar]

Finally got one of these after searching for nearly a week. I'm pretty impressed. Real world performance is quite snappy compared to the 2023 model and is nearly as fast as my Shield Pro.

The review I was waiting for, Lon never disappoints!

I got Plex on now, Star Wars 4K remastered, smooth as glass. Kodi plays 20gb 4ks no problem. Tivimate live TV never a problem. The new Onn Pro, and a wifi 1g spectrum connection.

I love this box!!.….I have 4 of the previous models in each room and now Im going to exchange them to this model

[jonathanmuirhead]

Mine works fine when playing 24fps content. Go into Display & Sound > Match content frame rate > and set it to seamless.
Plex works fine for me as well. Even streaming high bit rate 4K.
Also, you can get wired gigabit networking with a usb hub with gigabit ethernet built in or via a usb gigabit nic.
Finally, it DOES support exfat format over usb, as some people are saying it only supports Fat32. They're wrong, my exfat formatted usb flash drive with 156GB of game roms works just fine. Just do not enable "usb debugging" in developer options if you want to be able to see your usb flash drive, ext HDD, etc. via retro arch.
Oh, and turn transition animations down to .5 in the developer options. It makes it much more snappy. Hope this helps answer some questions people may have.

Hey LON I bought one and I think it's pretty good. I'm glad they added Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos on this model. I didn't get a backlit remote control either. Oh well it's not the end of the world not getting a better remote control.

I wonder if music only going through HDMI is related to YouTube being ad supported and this is a gentle push to make you turn on a display? Google made an audio only Chromecast but quickly snuffed it out. Does it function differently with a music subscription?

[ralphmcmahan]

Amlogic has really gotten some mileage out of the S905 platform. I guess if it isn't broke reiterate. My LePotato SBC runs on the S905 1st gen been a good board.

[jjones]

Not sure why companies are still putting 10/100 Ethernet on things. Is it that much cheaper? Otherwise, I say it's about time someone released a sub $100 Google TV device with ethernet and USB ports. Did you happen to test a USB camera and Google Meet?

On a side note, I'm still wishing they would release these Assistant speakers with a headphone jack so it could replace the retired Chromecast Audio.

[RobNance]

A thorough and great review as always Lon. I will say that the Google TV's recommendation engine is a weakness, not a strength. I will be installing Projectivy Launcher on mine post haste when it is delivered tomorrow.

[wwejason]

I bought mine solely based on it having additional RAM. 3GB vs the normal 2GB makes a real difference in overall performance for the basics of just simply navigating interfaces.

[JV_]

Great detailed review, I was going to buy this one to replace the first version onn 4k $20 box, after seeing your benchmark scores, I'll stick with the smaller more compact box.

[tadnishida]

How well can you control playback and video selection with voice commands?

[tomgeriak]

Thanks Lon for this review. Just the extra memory, Ethernet plug and USB make it worth the extra cost. You would have to spend $30 to purchase a hub attached to the oll ONN to get the same thing if you needed Ethernet. I have the $20 ONN box and find it as good if not better than my original Chomecast with GTV.
Can you consider testing this box with the GT Media Next Gen tuner to see if you get any better performance out of the GT Media stick?

[MyLifePixeled]

I'm glad you brought up the difference in remote. From what I was able to research before watching your video is there are 3 remotes and I located the model numbers to help

[chrisumali]

Thanks for the demo and info Lon, have a great day
