Chromecast with Google TV is one of those things that’s just been … around … for what seems like forever. And now it’s been replaced by the Walmart Onn 4K Pro Streaming Device.

Yes, really. Chromecast with Google TV is actually closing in on its fourth birthday, and it’s never really had much competition, especially when it comes to price. But Walmart just ended that with the Onn 4K Pro Streaming Device.
That’s a bad name for what basically is a Walmart-branded Chromecast. But the name on the box is the only place you’ll actually see any Walmart creep happening. Boot it up, and you’ll feel like you’re using a Chromecast - only this one lacks the lag that we’ve had to put up with for years in Google’s hardware. And what’s more is that Onn’s has a built-in speaker and microphone array, which basically makes it a Google TV version of the Amazon Fire TV Cube, and at less than half the price.
So we’re in a pretty intriguing place. Google shows no signs of replacing the Chromecast anytime soon. Walmart has something with an even better experience, for just $50. The only hard part is being able to find one, as it’s sold out pretty quickly.

@TheJamminjj57 4 месяца назад

@PhilNickinson , have you had any with the volume fluctuating on the built in speaker? I'm able to lower the volume with the remote as long as I have the buttons setup to control the box and not the TV. If I switch the buttons back to controlling the TV, the next time I go to use the voice commands, the built in speaker is crazy loud. Also, it won't turn the built in speaker volume down by voice. Says I have to turn on the TV. This is only real issue I'm having. I'm considering turning off the built in speaker and using a Google Home Mini I have instead, but that kind of negates one of the advantages this device has. I'm hoping maybe I'm doing something wrong, or it can be addressed in a future firmware upgrade.

First, 1080p ain’t low-res. But I know what you mean. I haven’t had any problems with the text. You might find the occasional app icon or something that doesn’t look great. That’s very hit and miss, though. And if you’re using your own photos as screensavers, well, that’s on you. (I have some that didn’t render well.)

@@PhilNickinson Sorry I meant lower* resolution. Do you think the video processing of the ONN 4k Pro can compete with the native video processing of say, Tizen OS on Samsung 4K TVs? Im very satisifed with the video playback of my Samsung TV, it's just that it has blurry texts and icons. I tried the Mi Box 4K and the UI is clear and high resolution enough to not bother me, what bothers me is its video playback, while it's sharp and clear and all, it's just not as good as the native playback from Tizen OS. It's 9/10 vs 10/10 good. How about the Apple TV, do you think it'll have a better video playback than Tizen OS?

@awesomeferret 3 месяца назад

@@PhilNickinson that's semantics. No, it's not low res at face value, but in context, it's very low res. 1440p phones have been a thing for an entire decade now. By definition, 1080p is laughably outdated, but like h264, it still has many legitimate real world purposes since it's way better than "good enough". So, in a phone, 1080p is low res when it's been found on budget 100 dollar phones for about 5 years (yet people love to forget this when they accept paying 800+ dollars for a screen resolution from 2012). Tldr: I overall agree, but tech moves on. 1080p is low res in 2024 and it's silly to argue otherwise. However, like 1080p, there are plenty of outdated things that are very useful and relevant (you can definately argue that paper books are outdated, but there are tons of reasons to want to keep books around and to read them). I say all of this as someone who strongly feels that the word "outdated" has had its meaning change dramatically over the past decade. My 6 year old LG V40 can do things that your "modern" phone cannot do, and can do some things much faster due to the way Android used to be designed. I would be downgrading by phone if I got a newer one due to the way I use a phone. My phone is not "outdated" in the same way it would be if it from 2010 and 6 years old (although, ironically, a 6 year old Windows Mobile phone was able to do way way more than the first few iPhones could... I need to shut up before I erode my own argument haha). A similar thing has happened to 1080p. It's outdated by definition, but it has a new purpose in today's hyper connected video sharing world and with modern codecs.

I bought the Onn puck about a year ago and totally love it. As soon as the 4K Pro showed up on the Walmart website I pounced on it. I haven’t set it up yet, but I’m sure I’m going to be very pleased with it. I got it for the expanded Ram and Storage as well as the built in 3.0 USB port. The Ethernet is a nice touch, but at 10/100 I’m probably going to use a USB hub with and Gigabit Ethernet port in it. There are actually 3 versions of the remote. The one with the Live TV not backlit. One without the Live TV not backlit. And the backlit version. I just got the one without the Live TV not backlit.

@TheBlooRayChannel 4 месяца назад

I'd been using the Nvidia Shield forever. Until I switched to the Apple TV and was shocked. Support of frame rate switching means the Apple TV forces the TV to match content frame rate so no more judder or dropped frames. And the Apple TV app learns and shows me exactly what I want to watch, especially as a sports fan. Google is obsessed with with showing you movies and TV shows only, which I just don't have time for. Also, apple tv supports dual Bluetooth headphones. HUGE for parents with small kids. Sports fans and new parents, switch now and never look back!

@PhilNickinson 4 месяца назад

That's all very true. I enjoy the cleaner homescreen, too.

@fonkenful 4 месяца назад

Except for the occurrence of very annoying dropout issues when trying to watch DV/Atmos movies on Netflix. This started happening to me recently and even the latest TVOS update side didn’t fix the problem, but toggling the Match Rates to off did. That and some DV scenes are incredibly dark compared to the same program on TV provider’s player box (Arris/Technicolor Xi6) - which while long in the tooth and short on user options, has been completely trouble free for over 6 years. If it makes any difference this is on LGB2 series with the latest WebOS - which is unnecessary cluttered and not as intuitive as the previous, but that’s another issue.

@chrgeorgeson 4 месяца назад

Interesting perspective! I'm not saying you're wrong, but I think most people would be fine with a TV and movie streaming box recommending TV shows and movies. Honestly, I'm surprised to see someone advocating for streaming boxes (Apple or otherwise) saying they don't have time for the intended purpose... to watch content. Your point about sports is valid; many people do rely on local TV or cable for that. As for the Nvidia Shield, it definitely has its quirks. I actually have both the Apple TV and the Shield, and I find myself returning to the Nvidia Shield because it supports all the audio codecs. I watch movies in uncompressed Blu-ray rips, so the full audio experience is important to me, and unfortunately, Apple TV doesn't offer that. The Shield's beta feature for frame rate matching works most of the time, around 85%. If Apple TV supported all the audio codecs, I would switch in a heartbeat.

@PhilNickinson 4 месяца назад

@@chrgeorgeson No, I think you're right. Most people just use what's built in. And that's fine - but they can do better.

@ItsameMatt 4 месяца назад

I prefer the Roku Ultra. Roku is hands down the best streaming platform. It has frame rate switching, supports everything you need, HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos. I don't like when a service pushes what it thinks I want to watch; I know what I want to watch already, and I like exploring to find something I've never seen. I don't know why you need recommendations for sports; personally I follow certain teams, and I know their schedules and how to watch them. It's half the price of the Apple TV 4K, and you won't be giving money to Apple.

Is Amazon going to offer a better deal on its Fire TV lineup? If it does not on time for Prime Day, I will most certainly opt for this device. From the shots I saw, the Fire TV 4k (2nd Gen) and 4k Max (1st and 2nd Gen) and the Fire TV Cube (2nd and 3rd Gen) are the only ones which (a) support Dolby Vision, and (b) have a fluid interface experience. But all of the Fire TV models mentioned all cost more than the Onn. 4K Pro Google TV. On the case of the Cube, double. Hence, Amazon has to respond in a big way! Not only in terms of price, but also in terms of specifications.

First thing I would do is hide it and disable the microphone🤣 And program it into my Logitech Elite remote. And no, my TV would not turn on via the device singe I have also turned off CEC via HDMI😝 I hate it messing with my activity setup on my remote.

Only downside is Nest cameras will only steam to a genuine Google device now... I just made a super fast m.2 drive and used a USB hub on the Chromecast and put ALL apps on that. The Chromecast doesn't lag when there's no apps on it. Seems to mostly be an issue when the on board storage is being used. I'm suspecting inadequate cooling as plastic isn't the best conductor. I'm considering taking it apart and putting heat sinks just to see if that would make a difference. If so, I might make my own box with access to the USB hub, built in m.2 storage and a better cooling solution. But, my main thing was being able to stream my Nest Cam to the TV so my wife can keep an eye on the kids in the back yard while folding laundry etc... and it's way less laggy than the built in Sony Google TV experience.

Intriguing. My only concern would be longevity of support and durability (the remote just looks very cheap) . Nice clean interface that looks free of ads (for now). I'd buy it.

I've had a 4k firestick for about 5 yrs now and have been looking to upgrade but didn't feel like getting an Nvidia shield or fire cube if I just want to watch TV. I had to "jailbreak" my firestick so that it could read external USB storage as well as add "3rd party apps" not found on any legal playstores... Not to mention that Amazon likes to throw software upgrades to disable most customizations on their devices so I think it's time to move on and I'm really leaning towards this device. 🤔

my chromecast is so buggy, it freezes alot and playback is kinda choppy on the regular. When I use my Roku I don't have theses problems. I mostly use my Chromecast for Casting.

Not available at Walmart Canada. Have not been across the border as it requires a passport now. Wally USA might mail you one but only to the border. Odd though that the Canadian stores get ONN TVs, tablets, and accessories but not the streamers. We never got the Xiaomi Mi boxes either...

I so badly wish Nvidia would release an updated Shield. Unfortunately I know they’ve been doing just fine without worrying about the consumer set top box market.

Chromecast I’ve been told it is a killer. Loads of people have had problems with it it freezes and then unfreezes and then you can’t watch your programs so this onn box really good 4k ultra

Weird. I have a really old 4K curved Samsung TV that isn't a smart TV and I have a Chromecast with Google TV on there and I don't have lag either. I bet this device is better but there's no need for me to buy one if I'm not experiencing any issues personally

@luisarsuaga7637 4 месяца назад

That's great to hear. I've always liked Google TV, but never bought one because of the lag. So maybe this version could be the one that I get. Has anyone pair it with other Google speakers? I want to group my tv with Google Speakers to play music throughout my house. I know this is possible with Google's Google TV, but I'm not sure if the Onn device can do this.

I mean why wouldn’t Walmart have a great streaming box. They are the largest American retailer in the world. They just seen a money grab made something good for decent price and it blows anything else away in the price range.

I’m cautious optimistic of the physical switch. I would like to see a teardown to make sure it’s actually capable of disabling the microphone.

I think Google prefers to have companies make good products using their software. They make reference products for companies to emulate.

I hope a UK company rebrands this. Why hasn't Google thought of adding a Smartspeaker to their Chromecast.

@dluciano2288 4 месяца назад

For people who like voice command devices, they typically already have those in their homes. So, in my opinion, i think they kind of screwed the pooch with that. They could have put that money elsewhere, such as a better chip, to make it complete a bit more with the Shield.

Wally World slipped you an old remote. The new one lites up in the dark and if you misplace it, push the button on the pro and the remote beeps.

Can you do full control by voice without the remote like the Fire Cube? Like move left/right/up/down and select?

@West3rror 3 месяца назад

If you have working arms I can't see any reason for wanting to even use that or voice comands in general. Faster to use a remote in most cases. Atleast if you have a Logitech

I'm late, but I have one and can't confirm that it gets that granular. I don't know what commands you use to do it on fire stick but just saying "left", "right", etc didn't work for me. Like a few other things in Google's ecosystem non-standard accessibility features can be added via downloading applications... For example adding a mouse app, and button remapper app added two new categories in my accessibility menu... So idk if there's something that will help you get that same functionality. Maybe... Especially since Fire stick is just Amazon "skinned" android TV os while Google TV is just Google skinned android TV os. That said Amazon's specific apps are usually locked by them to not be able to run at full capacity on Google TV, if at all, so there may not be an option for you Sorry that I couldn't help more
