just got the tv today, still playing around
few note that u might interested

1. dvb-t can't use, mayb i dont hv the antenna

2. second remote, aka voice remote is actually bluetooth remote.
u need to pair it before can use

3. i read this tv only support hdmi v1.3,
so only limited to 4k 30fps.
anyway i suspect the tv support 30fps only.
i hvnt found ways to test it... msg me if u know any trick.

4. i can't set the brightness on astro.
there is a brightest setting on LiveTV, but that only affect youtube video.
ps: extreme bright, i hate this...

5. i hv bluetooth controller, tested can play on tv.
later gonna try retroarch to play some wii game.
ps: dolphin need sideload, so i temporary gv up.

6. no vga support, i can't use my htpc.
mayb next week gonna upgrade my graphic card. (low profile)
cheapest 4k card i found zotac gt710 2gn ddr3, rm179
but there is another sapphire r5 230, rm149... but dont think can blast 4k video

7. no audio in also, so i hv to buy spdif optical connect to my amp 😒

so far so good
except few thing that need to workout

1. i finally found the washout, the Black color font is splitting out the Red shadow.
this only happen when the resolutions is set to pc 4K resolution. (4096 × 2160).
fyi the standard 4K resolutions for tv is actually 3840 × 2160, so not a problem...

but i still managed to correct this problem, in HDMI2.0 settings the default "Chroma Subsampling"
is set to 4:2:2/4:4:4... which is obviously is not support by the tv.
after i correct it to 4:2:0, the washout is gone at the resolutions (4096 x 2160)

2. in Android TV Home Screen and all the google apps,
the default resolutions is set to FHD (1920 x 1080).
This cannot be corrected currently....
because the tv need to be ROOTed so we can edit the build.prop to enable 4K
... mean i cant watch youtube/kodi in 4K!!!~ ranting.gif ranting.gif ranting.gif

3. the voice remote control buildin's mic is not really good compared to phone.
i installed Google TV Remote Control on my phone
and test the speech recognition, i able to get 9/10 accuracy...
ps: i also tested on Cantonese speech recognition, not bad thumbsup.gif

4. unable to set HDMI brightness, it only affect the brightness at Google Apps... eg YouTube/Kodi/iflix/netflix
my Astro channel is very bright vmad.gif

yes and no

the product unable to play 4k from android itself, it can only play it from externally (hdmi).
and the hdmi spec is quite limited... although i suspect the hdmi is v1.3...
but the tv setting there written hdmi v2.0
i hv no way to test on this.
(ps: i was able to play 4K content from MediaPlayer/Kodi, but this doesnt mean the display is UHD.
when click Info, it shown 1080p...)

the good thing is, the tv come with preload with netflix,
but fyi netflix is very stingy...
they hv strict product test before certified it to play 4k content.
i havent activate my netflix demo account, coz i havent got time to watch.

at least i know it will play 1080p... the rest i donno... yet
----

if u can accept the imperfection above...
then the tv is good...

at first i tot the tv is actually Linux SmartTV with Ocean Blue UI.
but it is really AndroidTV itself with playstore installed... (android tv ui!!!)

the game works, i would said 80% from perfection.
and some emulator is working too...

for audio it also support DTS, Dolby and passthrough.

the android ver is Marshmallow, tat mean it is last year product.
i have no problem with this...

so far everything is good.
---

the best thing i like about this tv... it have chromecast!!!
i able to cast youtube and facebook video without any account on tv.
so everyday i able to share something to the family... wub.gif

the voice remote, it is best of the best feature available for android tv
i set the voice recognition to cantonese then to mandarin...
it work!!!~
my mom love it the best, she able to search old song on youtube without typing pinyin.
btw she donno pinyin... haha
now she play it everyday...
she also able to search taiwanese hokkien tv series on youtube...
my god!!! the tv she occupied 90% of the time sweat.gif

well my mom love it the best. wink.gif
