ok...

somehow im glad my tv support netflix uhd, i expect fhd only.
anyway i hv htpc for the 4k playback, so i hv no worry.

actually not gamble, coz i review samsung is not lasting.
lg smart tv (not androidtv) suck, no update.
sony the best options, price also not much different. 2.7k can get.

at the end i choose skyworth bcoz skyworth manufacture for toshiba and hisense brand also... combo with 5years warranty, buildin androidtv and chromecast is hard to resist.

ps: i got email cs, up till now no reply... cs really suck.

Stream Netflix in 4K only following support.
  • Nvidia Shield
  • Mi Box (China edition cannot)
  • Apple TV 4K
  • Amazon Fire/Cube TV
Also make sure the box didn't root or jailbreak before as once done that it is permanent cannot.

The rest TV Box all cannot.

Another solution is buy a latest TV where 99% now bundle with Netflix apps.

is there a difference between buying from a kiosk shop at the shopping mall, eg Tesco Ampang vs buying from lazada.

i noticed the shop is selling the TX3 Mini at RM499 vs lazada for only RM16x. the salesman told me the following for the price difference - no shop rental cost, no services provided, the box might be recon box, warranty (though the one in the lazada i found provides the same 6 month warranty period), no services, etc

another thing i noticed the shop doesn't recommend kodi or terranium...he said need those app need to constantly 'maintain'. the app he pre-installed will always automatically find the source for me...

any comment sifus?

Short answer: The salesman was just BSing you.

Hi guys/sifus,

I am new to the Android box arena. I need some help. I have an extra PC monitor lying around and i want to use android tv box for the monitor.
So I checked, the monitor only has a hdmi input. Now my question is, the monitor abviously CANNOT play the sound via the HDMI stream from the android box. Most android boxes only has hdmi output.

1) How to deal with this issue?

2) Which box would you recommend with budget about RM 300 - RM 400 ? - watching movies and minor gaming only

3) Can use bluetooth headphones with the box?

Your help will be very much appreciated.

Thanks.

If your monitor have speaker build-in then it will work, else just get a pair of speaker.

2) Which box would you recommend with budget about RM 300 - RM 400 ? - watching movies and minor gaming only
Beside Mi Box I not sure what to recommended in this range. Others people here will have more choices as long as you don't care on Netflix.

3) Can use bluetooth headphones with the box?
Yes you can.

Thank you so much for your response. Appreciate it very much.
But I am still confused...if i get speaker, most android tv boxes have only hdmi output.
There is no way to connect the speaker to the box. sad.gif

Lets say if i get T95Z Plus,
they have HDMI output and also AV output...so according to you,
i can configure the box to output video via HDMI and sound via AV?
Does it work that way?

I don't want to buy, and then cannot use with monitor because of sound issues...will be very sad.
And i can't find people who have similar issues, else i can just tt from them.

Thanks much.

easy, you have 2 ways to solve:

1. get an hdmi to vga and audio splitter.
2. some boxes have extra for AV OUT port, utilize that port to output the sound

Oh ok, i get it now...

Scenario 1: Meaning split my HDMI out to RGB and Audio (using a splitter) then RGB to monitor and Audio to speaker.

Scenario 2: Just use the HDMI for video out, and use AV port for speaker if AV port is available.

Thanks so much.
Appreciate it.

i doubt scenario 2 will works, hv to either 1. not both at the same time.

fyi for audio output, some media player hv headphone output and optical output. both will works as audio feed for ur speaker.
