Walmart's $50 Streaming Box is OUTSTANDING | Onn 4k Pro Google TV Streaming Box Review 

Is this different than Chromecast with Google TV in 4k? They're the same price and seem to do the same thing. Maybe the added function as a smart speaker?

No doubt ONN TV BOX 4K is amazing, the best Quality priceless device compared with others TV boxes at present Day greetings from Colombia I love it 🇨🇴💯💥👌

That find my remote feature is what really stuck out to me. I also like how the remote is much more filled out and substantial looking. I especially love the built-in smart speaker functions and adaptable quick access button.

I just got the Pro 2 days ago and got excited using a USB port. So far i really love it

Great review! I bought this TV yesterday, but there were a few pieces of information I wish had been included in the review: 1. The impact of Dolby Vision 2. Whether you can schedule the TV to turn on/off using Google Assistant. Thanks!

It's insane how smooth even the basic 1080p Chromecast feels compared to whatever garbage comes built into the lg TV I have haha

Good job on the video Shane! I too was very surprised by the performance at the price point. I've been a long time Firestick owner, but this performs so much better than my 4K Max: picture quality, speed, not laggy and much much better curation of videos and media to watch! The only problem I've noted so far is that if you use Bluetooth Headphones, the audio over then is choppy and distorted while connected. I did some troubleshooting, and determined the issue is with the included remote. I took the battery out of the remote, and used the remote in Google Home on my phone as a workaround, and when I do that, there is no problem with the audio. To rule out Bluetooth interference, I completely covered the remote in aluminum foil except for the front, and problem was still there. It seems to me that the remote continuously communicates over Bluetooth, which consumes the Bluetooth bandwidth. Seems like manufacturer (Google) can fix that by having the remote enter a sleep mode if no buttons are pressed for a period of time.

I have both Chromecast with google tv and onn with google tv and for some reason onn is more snappier than my Chromecast

OK! I'm NOT shitting on the ONN box but for me with smart home integration and FULL device control for ALL my video/audio devices the Fire Cube 3rd gen is pretty awesome. Yes, it costs WAY more but also gives you SO much control and Routines that work with Alexa that ANY ONN of Google TV box/stick will NEVER ever match! The Fire Cube enhances lower stream quality channels and makes them look better for one. I have Routines setup to when I leave turns my TV and sound bar off and when I return home turns on my TV and soundbar on and will tune to a specific RU-vid TV channel and lighting options so when I walk in the door everything is already ON and suits my needs. To me this convenience is SO much worth the extra price that these "sticks" just cannot do as fluid and seamless. I will NOT argue that this ONN box is good but it's just NOT the level I'm used to or want using the "Google" route which seems broken more times than not.

You and Mr. Mobile are my go to for reviews

Thanks for you comments about "Continue Watching"...I've been very surprised at how poorly that works. Seems it should be something Google would excel at, instead, just a lot of dissaporintment!

What about home media streaming? like Plex or Jellyfin transcoding?

Great video.... In watching your video, I had the idea of downloading a streaming music app onto my (traditionally only video) streamer... It worked fine... So cool.

Nice reviews of both. I almost returned mine, but kept it when I learned how to sideload Tennis Channel. Love that it displays flash-drive videos and custom launchers too. Great device.

The onn box is faster with the ram. And the 2x more the hard drive and usb for a flash drive, etc is a nice touch

This reminds me of the Firestick cube... Only a lot cheaper.

I have had it for a week and like you also use for my smart home.

Nice vid i have the 1st looking forward to getting this one

I have the previous gen. So I'm not sure if this is worth the upgrade. I know, extra gb of ram and more storage but does the 4k look that good? And I wish they had a legit way to multitask or switch between apps like and phones.

I'm happy with my onn 4k pro it is awesome hooked up ,sideloaded all my best apps plus the new onn streaming box pro 4k has hey Google ask it anything just like echo dot . Great box

Me. I'm watching Paramount plus I'm a big Star Trek fan for one thing. Plus there are other things I like on there.

I'm facing a suttering issue on this device when it wakes up from the screensaver. Rebooting the decive fixes the issue. I hope they fix it with an update.

Nice! Can i use Walmart one remote on the Google Chromecast with Google TV 4K? 🤔

Might go back to Fire Stick, because having buttons for Play, Fast-Forward, and Rewind works better in apps like ESPN. I can't pair a good alternate remote with Onn 4K Pro.

Myself and others have experienced that the regular CBS app (not the news or sports ones) will install but not show up on the ribbon/home page of the box. It does show up when you go into the settings. Any others out there who have experienced this?

Will it work with my logitech harmony elite remote control with hub just asking

I purchased one today and I also have the fire stick 4k max and I’ll tell you this, if the rumors are true that Amazon is going to release Vega and it’s going to get rid of sideloading, it’s gonna be the death of the fire stick. I will buy android boxes from now on.

What is model number? Need to be able to setup in Harmony Elite

Onn 4k has a WiFi Flaw. I have 2 . WiFi connection won’t display , won’t connect… I have to unplug it. And plug it back to restart and refresh unit..

Thanks for sharing this information I was about to get one of their warranties but now I won't.

Is the Onn box better than the firestick...

I bought into the hype and got one. I am returning it today and going back to the firestick. My firestick controls the on/off of my av receiver where this onn box only controls the volume of my av receiver. I could deal with that but every two or three minutes the audio to the programs that I watch would cut out (only for a second). This onn box is not ready for production. I will say that the picture on my LG tv looked a little brighter than with my Firestick. When the Firestick goes to a closed system (unable to side load), I will look for other options or just bite the bullet for an Apple TV box.

I am a bit concerned about the Ethernet being only 10/100. Have you tried playing any high bitrate 4k Dolby vision content?

I just can’t understand one thing…why people want to buy things that have a microphone and listen to everything you say and do “who knows what” with that audio. Can it be turned off and left in manual-only mode?

Are you able to use the USB on the back to use extended storage to have more space for applications so I could install a kodi build on this?

I was seriously considering one but then saw that the ethernet port only supports 10/100? For the most part that's going to be enough, but it just seems like a weird part to skimp on. It's one of the reasons why i like my apple TV 4k, although the apple interface is so basic. I'm looking forward to the google TV 4k box, but that processor in it worries me. I want to replace my apple tv 4k because it has so many issues with HDMI Arc detecting it on my OLED TV or soundbar.

Can you use this $50 box on a 48 in. LED tv? My TV is not 4k, it's HD

⁉️ Random question.... Shane posted a video a month or two ago showing how to hide the down arrow at the bottom of the keyboard and I cannot find it for the life of me. Just got a Pixel Fold and I want that arrow gone! 😂

Buffering I don't believe it. None of my other streaming devices buffer. Why is this Onn 4K pro buffering?

Would like to see if it can run and emulate up to PS2 or Dreamcast

Can you use it with the logitech harmony elite remote with hub

I own two of these, neither with the back lit remote 😑. I also watch Paramount+ 😂

Thx u 4 sharing very informative

Bro you didn't mention anything about os lagging compared to previous google tv 4k😮

Does this have Bluetooth capabilities? Can it be hooked up to a Bluetooth surround sound system?

I replaced my failing and aging Shield with this..... couldn't be happier. Nvidia's time has passed

I'd say if you already have a house full of Nest speakers/displays, & you don't need the other features get the cheaper 4K ONN box, otherwise get this.

your the first man I no or hear say they don't like TUBE 😅😅😅😅 God true never hear someone say that 😅😂😅😂

cloth top is a dust collector

My old tv box had a mouse button, that was awesome for browsing

Is this more powerful (specs, etc.) & Better then a Nvidia box ?

So far its really good!

What difficult it is to do an order on Walmart. Three Times my order was canceled. Please IS anyone Can help me?

Do you know any outlet where I can buy this in Canada?

I've had some issues. 1) audio / video was not sync'ing properly, i had to turn off surround sound. not sure if that's my TV's fault, or what. no soundbar, in case you are wondering, just TV speakers. 2) the Free TV button doesn't do a thing. probably because i'm in canada. 3) it was in the same room that a google smart speaker was already in, so we moved that speaker to another part of the house....so problem solved? well, the Onn box can't seem do a couple some of the things my wife used the other smart speaker for, such as , a) alarms, and b) "broadcast" feature

Can it use external USB storage for apps

How does it work with a mouse? My current android box is pretty shaky.

I can't get the "onn. Google TV 4K Pro Streaming Device (New, 2024)" to recognize four of my USB external drives, telling me they're corrupt. Three of them are 2 & 4TB Crucial X10 (exFAT, unpowered), and Sandisk 4TB (exFAT, unpowered). The fourth drive is an 8TB Seagate backup drive (NTFS, powered). The 2TB also failed to even be recognized while connected to a powered dock. However, the Onn. does recognize a 256GB Sandisk thumb drive (exFAT). Do you have any ideas on how to get my portable SSDs working? I'll probably return the Onn. if I don't get it figured out soon. Thank you!

I wish it was not a speaker. Doesit have Bluetooth?

has anyone noticed, unless it's just me, at the audio from the mic is a bit different sounding?

I am having issues with the box freezing when I watch Amazon prime TV. Has anyone else had this issue? Everything else works great.

I always have my Android phone turned on next to me. So, if I say 'Hey, Google' to the ONN 4K PRO box's speaker next to my TV ... isn't that going to constantly be activating my phone?? Is there an option to change the 'wake word' on this box (like I have on my Amazon ECHO Dots), to avoid this potential issue? LASTLY, I would like to use these ONN boxes to get away from Amazon's FireOS and their excessive meddling and 'ad assaults.' But, I have invested in three ECHO Dot speakers. I don't have money to replace them with Google Mini's (is that the correct name?). Is there any compatibility for my ECHO Dots to use with Google Voice's A.I.? I'd hate to trash them (although Alexa often makes me want to!) and trying to re-sell them is just too much of a pain for me (I don't even know what I could get). HELP!

Love it.

You said a SPEAKER when you using it as a MICROPHONE! Speakers and microphones are two different items.

The wifi on mine keeps completely crashing! It has to be restarted or unplugged! There's 2 networks in the same room as the box! So the signals are completely strong, its like the whole wifi architecture of the device crashes. So im thinking my box is defective

Walmart TV streaming box that you can never find at Walmart

Hands up if your Onn 4K Pro's remote has a "Free TV" blue botton 🙋🏽‍♂️😂

Put a emulator on it

HELP! looking for advice. My usb mouse isn't working on this device. worked fine on my firestick. then I tried 2 others, one usb and one wired, none work. I managed to get a bluetooth mouse on but even that didn't follow thru with commands. Is there something in the settings I need to do? never came across an issue like this before.

Looks good except that you will have to watch ads in You Tube and still have to buy most shows and programs that you really want. OK, we know this is what it really is about.

Doctor Who??? LMAO

Does this have airplay like the roku?

But I normally avoid Walmarts. :)

The fact it has a 10/100 Ethernet Port.. is a total deal breaker for me needs to have Gigabit Ethernet to be viable in todays tech.

Does the USB DRIVE support NTFS & EXFAT format?

omg its crazy awsome good bye fire stick

What is model number? Need to be able to setup in Harmony Elite
