Speed is really good, not up to the Shield TV, but it's also 1/3 the price or less.Chroma upsampling is good, the same as other recent Amlogic chipset-based devices I've tested (ODroid N2).Passes through correct HDR10 metadata, including MaxCLL, and MaxFALL.Doesn't work in Movies Anywhere for some reason.Dynamic Range Switching works well in most apps (Tested Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime, Plex, Kodi).My setup is as follows: Chromecast -> Denon AVR-X4500H -> LG 77C9 Now on to my other testing of local media playback. So I got 5.1 audio in Disney+ as well as Dolby Vision. In my case, my Vizio does report support of DD+. So, if you connect to a TV that does not show support of DD+ via EDID, you will be limited to 2.0 on most streaming services. There is no Dolby Digital processing like the ones on Shield or Apple TV. Larger sized storage automatically gets rejected/ejected.ĥ. More bad news about using the UBS ports for storage extensions: keep up with Google's traddition, it won't support anything that is not formatted as FAT/FAT16/FAT32. Still better than the 100mbps Google offered.Ĥ. Bad news is that the network speed on the gigabit network port on the hub is capped around 320 mbps.

So, I will test with the charger that comes with the box later.ģ. I monitored combined power usage never exceed 5 watts. However, HLG on YouTube shows up as HDR10 as others reported.Ģ. So, to be clear, HLG on 4K live TV is supported correctly. This app itself is somehow difficult to install (probably my fault) but using the play store web site, I got it installed. HDHomeRun live and recorded TV playback: MPEG2, AVC, DRM, 4K broadcasting with HLG all works fine. OK, here are a few things crossed off my important list:ġ. : Hauyate USB C Hub Multiport Adapter,MacBook Pro USB C Dongle, 8 in 1 USB C Dock to HDMI Adaptor Compatible for iPad, XPS More Type C Devices-4K HDMI USB3.0 SD/TF Card Reader 60W PD: Electronics My second favorite because of the detachable usb c cableģ.

My favorite cause it so cheap! Works great Tested with a 5V 3amp usb c power supply and NOT the stock power brick:

For those of you wanting to add ethernet and external storage, I ordered a bunch of usb hubs off amazon.
