QUOTE(wchinwai @ Oct 14 2020, 05:49 PM) Hi Sifus, I own a Mecool MS8 Pro L TV Box. Been trying various versions on Astro Go but could get it to work properly. Able to login and get to the menu but cant play any channels/video....something about playback issue or screen is just black. Just would like an advise on which is the working version and i can google it from there. Thanks in advanced. I've same box but I don't use aotg but I tried playtv from store can't use. I suspect the box is rooted but I've no problem with KM3 KM9 Anyway my neighbor also got his new KM1 DELUXE (photo fro him) Attached thumbnail(s)

Hi guys. I read the full posts on the first page...and realized it was last updated in 2017. I presume it's quite a bit outdated now, although it did provide me with some good info.
Anyway, I'm looking for a capable android box that fulfills the following: - lag-free 4K video, Dolby vision is preferable - runs Netflix 4k / YouTube 4k - good 1080p upscaling capability - comes with LAN port - possibility of installing ahem apps for my wife (oh well) - Chromecast if possible - budget RM300-600 (can stretch a bit if needed)
Thanks.

QUOTE(GuyM @ Oct 20 2020, 08:23 AM) Thanks. What's the advantage of getting the other brands like mecool, himedia, etc over an official Chromecast? Oh and it's wireless. I think I'd prefer one with an ethernet port for stability. This post has been edited by QuickFire: Oct 20 2020, 01:11 PM

I was under the impression that a premium price tag for media players is around 1,000 somewhere along the lines of Nvidia Shield. So a budget of 600 I thought was pretty decent.

What options do I have if I skip Netflix 4K? By the way, Chromecast with Google TV is still not available here yet I suppose? Even the official Google landing page redirects to the 3rd gen Chromecast...

Hmm I found an Nvidia Shield Pro for 899 on shopee. Thinking if I should just get that, since it has Netflix and YouTube at 4k. Ethernet port. Dolby vision. AI upscaling. Only lacks Chromecast I suppose...

Just browsing around, haven't begun buying anything just yet. A lot to digest.. Just got myself Nvidia Shield TV Pro. Great device. Plex 4K local stream ran smoothly. Before this having issue with audio codec and subtitles.

Have not notice frame rate issue. Just Netflix doesn't get steady 4k stream, it always does below. Can tell from blurry images. Strangely it only appear on some show. Will try to ponder around and see what is wrong.
