Find one at Walmart - lon.tv/8rzje (compensated affiliate link) - Walmart's latest Google TV box adds some neat features like acting as a voice assistant when the TV is off and a remote finder. But it's Pro designation will fall short for enthusiasts. See more TV boxes:    • Set Top Video Players   and subscribe! lon.tv/s

    I just got one! I saw somebody posted in one of the streaming groups on Facebook and got online and happened to get the last one that was available out of about 10 Walmart stores in the Washington DC area. I had to drive to Alexandria, Virginia, which was about 20 miles away, I tried to buy more and they weren’t available. Thank you, Lon! I truly appreciate all of your videos and reviews and you’re just a genuinely nice guy! And have a good rest of your weekend

    This is EXACTLY what my parents need. Unlike the $20 .onn Box, this both has a USB port AND supports reading files from exFAT formatted storage. Load up Projectivy Launcher & VLC, setup a USB drive with their DVD/Blu-ray content (and my mom’s dance workout videos… 😂) and suddenly they have a portable, easy to use, *offline* box while travelling or experiencing internet outages! At 1/4 the price of a Shield Pro!! Remarkable…

    Onn 4k Pro Google TV Streaming Box is extremely easy to set up and use. I love the features on this device, such as hey google, chromcast and dolby vision.
  • @doktorb3at
    Very nice review. Covered pros and cons for me to decide. Thanks.
  • @RobNance
    A thorough and great review as always Lon. I will say that the Google TV's recommendation engine is a weakness, not a strength. I will be installing Projectivy Launcher on mine post haste when it is delivered tomorrow.
  • @nefhova
    I love this box!!.….I have 4 of the previous models in each room and now Im going to exchange them to this model
  • @kevlizbobo
    Thanks for the great review. I'm hoping to get one soon.
  • Hey LON I bought one and I think it's pretty good. I'm glad they added Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos on this model. I didn't get a backlit remote control either. Oh well it's not the end of the world not getting a better remote control.
  • @phillip008
    got it a week ago and it is my favorite one yet by far. My remote is the same as yours.
  • @asan1050
    Lon Thanks for posting this video
  • @CodyJPittman
    I just bought the same box yesterday and also got the non back lit remote
  • @JV_214
    Great detailed review, I was going to buy this one to replace the first version onn 4k $20 box, after seeing your benchmark scores, I'll stick with the smaller more compact box.
  • @eagleal
    Thanks Lon. From looking around at some other reviews, it seems like there might be a few minor issues with the box. Would be interested to see you cover Walmart's new 8 and 10 inch tablets too
  • @tomgeriak3757
    Thanks Lon for this review. Just the extra memory, Ethernet plug and USB make it worth the extra cost. You would have to spend $30 to purchase a hub attached to the oll ONN to get the same thing if you needed Ethernet. I have the $20 ONN box and find it as good if not better than my original Chomecast with GTV. Can you consider testing this box with the GT Media Next Gen tuner to see if you get any better performance out of the GT Media stick?
  • @azcoyote
    It's a nice box and a good value. Got the one with the "Free TV"/backlit buttons. One thing I found is that it currently doesn't support Sling TV, which I think has the best interface for FAST channels.
  • @MyLifePixeled
    I'm glad you brought up the difference in remote. From what I was able to research before watching your video is there are 3 remotes and I located the model numbers to help
  • @RLJSlick
    Thanks Lon, great video. I think I will wait until Google comes out with their next streaming player...
