Review on TV box Apple TV 4K 32GB, black by Jnis Staulis ᠌

Best price for this product, will buy more!

Bought for "cohabitation" with Chromecast Ultra a couple of specific use cases: * Stream videos from certain educational apps that don't support Chromecast but play with the standard iOS player. That is, for AirPlay. * The ability to watch any video played on a Mac in Safari (AirPlay again), particularly South Park on southpark. Cc. Com. When I bought it, I didn't expect to use it so much. In practice, it completely replaced the Chromecast Ultra for everything except YouTube in 4K (Apple and Google did not agree on codecs and Apple TV 4K does not play YouTube 4K) or playing a bunch of videos in a row (Chromecast Ultra is simply created for this). Used almost every evening to watch Netflix, YouTube, Facebook Watch, 4K movies from the iTunes store, stream from a network drive in VLC, play games in the NBA and NHL apps, stream any video from Safari from Mac. I do not share the dissatisfaction of some with the remote control. Not every HDMI cable will work for 4K, if yours doesn't, you'll sometimes see disappearance of the picture. In my case, the prefix itself determined and reported that the cable was not suitable. I bought another one for 20 (or something like that) gigabit, everything works fine. There are 48 gigabit cables, I have not yet found content that would require them. Personally, I am very pleased with the device. Everything works without the slightest problem for several months. I would recommend for iOS and MacOS users, the rest of the Chromecast Ultra is more suitable. Had experience with other consoles / streamers, the experience was very negative.

Pros
  • A bunch of decent applications for popular services. The ability to stream any video that Safari on a Mac or a standard video player on an iOS device can play. The VLC application has exceeded expectations and streams directly from a network drive via UPnP and other protocols. Large 4K catalog (sometimes with HDR, sometimes not) of new iTunes store movies. Money, especially for rent for 48 hours, are reasonable. All previously purchased films in the library will be "upgraded" to 4K if the film has been re-released in that resolution. Everything works stably, it is easy to ate, except for the selection of a fast enough HDMI cable for 4K, absolutely nothing came as a surprise. A decent remote with which everything you need is done quickly. The ability to connect Bluetooth headphones when someone is sleeping in the next room. AirPlay can be paused and resumed from the watch when. Wakes up quickly, which is why you often use Apple TV directly, rather than streaming from another device.
Cons
  • Some features are available on the Chromecast Ultra for as little as 40% of the price of an Apple TV 4K. Apple and Google have not agreed on codecs and Apple TV 4K does not play YouTube 4K.
