Do you all think it's better to get the TV that build on android platform or to get separate android box like this and hook to 4k tv?

separate better, coz:-
> performance
> software support
> upgradeable/replaceable

Buy TV based on PQ/quality/durability and TV box based on performance/features/quality

can refer here for more feedback on built in android tv >> https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/2721221

As for Shield TV currently nvidia support team and google are working together to improve user experience. There are few bugs that need to be fixed by Google first.

Fyi, there are now three Google certified TV box available:-
> Nvidia Shield TV (Amazon - can shipped to Malaysia)
> Mibox S (can purchase from AliExpress and Gearbest)
> Ematic Jetstream 4K (US only - Walmart)

At the moment, there is 20% discount for NSTV+remote on Amazon for limited time..final price >> RM744.33 (not including Sirim permit - RM100)
Maybe there will be blackfriday offer for NSTV+remote+controller on 23/11

Bro, thanks for sharing and based on the above certified boxes, only Nvidia and Mibox S can be considered. I have check on Amazon and they have latest offer whereby only USD139.99 for the Shield with remote which looks tempting. However still quite divided as was thinking to upgrade my current 3 years old LED TV to Sharp LC60UA6800X or just grab the high-end Android box.

From your personal point of view, which would you opt to if you are being given above choices?

Bro, here's my answer.

.. what exp u have with androids... androidtv, androidbox, android phone, android tablet..?
I'm just a social user on the android phone and have purchase some of the android boxes (include modified my hypp tv box to the ahem version from outside vendor). However I'm not a pro on this techie thingy as occasionally I found those boxes especially China made will have some issues after a while (no WIFI connection or apps stopped working, probably I have accidentally updated certain OS).

.. what r u looking for in an "android"?
Freedom to install apps especially for movies streaming (I'm not into much gaming).

.. what video and audio expectations?
My expectations are on low side as I just need HD streaming for movies. No special requirements on video or audio input/output as I do not owned any high-end entertainment set although I do not rule out may purchase a bundled speaker entertainment set to boost the movie experience in the near future.
