Review on GOOGLE Chromecast TV Box with TV by Wiktor Wasilewski ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Feel free to buy, for such a price, the quality is simply amazing.

1) In reviews and reviews they write that power does not work from USB ports and you need to use an external power adapter . However, I have USB 2.0 ports (5V / 0.5A) on my Samsung TV (UE48HU8500T) and Acer Predator Z321Q monitor and 3.0 (5V / 1A) and it works great from them: at the beginning it displays a picture, they say, you need to connect the power adapter, but then after 3 seconds it starts loading as if nothing had happened. And after that it works without problems. The latest firmware. 2) In the specifications on the market, the processor is incorrectly indicated - Amlogic S905X2. In fact, there is Amlogic S905D3G, in theory it is 15% more powerful. 3) It turns out that the control panel also has its own firmware. To ate it, you need to enter its settings in the set-top box and start the ate manually. The remote control must be kept close to the console. 4) APK files uploaded and put on the console through the "TV file transfer" application. It needs to be installed on the set-top box and smartphone and given permission to install apk files.

Pros
  • + support for 4K/60fps HDR; + device with direct support from Google; + works smartly; + modern USB type C and HDMI 2.1 connectors; + heats up slightly during operation; + Remote control with voice control; + compactness.
Cons
  • - lack of direct deliveries and, as a result, a high local price due to outbids; - a Netflix button that not everyone needs and cannot be remapped.
