Chuwi LarkBox Mini PC Unboxing and Review
Unboxing and setup of the Chuwi LarkBox mini-PC. Unfortunately, it didn't go well, and, together with previous videos about the TiVo Stream 4K and Amazon Renewed Google Pixel, inspired me to start a new playlist called "I Buy This Crap So You Don't Have To."
If you want to buy this PC (though I can't imagine why you would), you can find it here:
smile.amazon.com/CHUWI-LarkBox-Computer-Processor-Streaming/dp/B08FJ8W2DY/
I did not get it from Amazon myself, though. I bought it as an IndieGogo project. I paid for this device out of my own funds and all opinions are completely my own.

2020 ChromeCast Display Resolution Bug
Просмотров 8 тыс.4 года назад
Wouldn't you know, a day after I made the video about how great the 2020 ChromeCast with Google TV is, I discovered a bug that sometimes causes the display resolution to drop from 4K down to 1080p all by itself. Took me another day to (hopefully) figure out why and be able to duplicate the bug. But it seems to happen when I turn the TV off and (later) back on with the ChromeCast remote. It does...
2020 ChromeCast with Google TV Unboxing and Review
Просмотров 5804 года назад
UPDATE 10/9/2020: Discovered an apparent bug that resets display resolution to 1080p/60Hz whenever the TV is turned off or the ChromeCast sleeps. Needs to be manually set to 4K again when turning on the TV or waking the ChromeCast up. Hopefully this will be an easy fix for the next firmware update. Unboxing and first (and second and third) impressions of the 2020 ChromeCast with Google TV. What...

LG UBK90/UBKC90 $149 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc Player Unboxing and Setup

UPDATE 10/5/2020: My local Costco is down to just 8 of these players left and does not appear to be getting any more, and apparently won't be getting a new model to replace it, either. So if you want one, I suggest getting it NOW. Unboxing and first impressions of the LG UBK90/UBKC90 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc player. This player was released in 2018, so it is two years old.

$98 Google Pixel from Amazon Renewed
Просмотров 2,2 тыс.4 года назад
Feeling inspired by Travis McP's experiences with Amazon Renewed Smartphones, I bought a Google Pixel (original) there for $98. The plan WAS going to be comparing this old flagship to a new budget/midrange phone, specifically the Teracube One I reviewed here a few months ago. Unfortunately as you'll see in the video, things went South during the unboxing and setup of the Pixel. This phone was n...
New nVidia Shield Remote Control!
Просмотров 10 тыс.4 года назад
The nVidia Shield has been one of the best streaming devices since it was first released in 2015. However, its remote control has been a downside until the third version of the player was released in 2019. Thankfully the remote made for the current nVidia Shield is now sold separately for those of us who still hang on to the old Shields. In this video, we take a look. That new remote is availab...

UPDATE 7/23/2020: I returned this unit to TiVo on 5/18. Even though FedEx tracking shows my returned unit was delivered to TiVo on 5/22 (and signed for), they did not bother to acknowledge they received it until 6/18 and as of 7/22 had not issued my refund. On 7/23, I filed a dispute with my credit card and the bank refunded my money with zero help from TiVo. After buying 4 DVR's, 2 minis, a st...

Teracube: $249 Android Phone with 4 Year Warranty

We've done mainly home theater related videos so far, but this one's a bit different. Been searching for a decent backup phone that doesn't cost over a thousand dollars, and I think I found one good enough that it could be some people's MAIN phone. The Teracube phone has a 4 year warranty on the hardware, and a promised 3 years of security and OS updates. That means not only will it get Android...

Roku Ultra 2019 Unboxing and First Impressions
Will this play blu ray/dvd/cd's?
Not by itself. You have to connect it to a PC or Mac and install software such as VLC. Then your computer can play dll those discs.
when I looked this up it said it was a CD player , its not is it ??
It can play CD's, but that's just one thing it does. Primarily it's a Blu Ray burner.
@@bohemiantech9110 were can I go to read up on how to get it to play cds
@@Winterr62 I'm not near that computer or my CD's at the moment, but I would guess if you install VLC media player (avaiilable for nearly every OS), it should play CD's from that or any other drive. Hope that helps.
The drive is quite noisy while playing audio CDs. If you often play these on the PC go find a different drive.
if I may ask, what monitor model is it? it looks like the size i'm looking for, and i'd love to have a reference also 2 years later, does the Pioneer burner still is working fine for you? or would you try something different if given a chance? Thank you for the vid
I don't remember if the model number and i'm at work now so can't check. But it's the basic LG 32" 4K model. No super fast refresh rate for gaming or anything like that. The Pioneer drive is still great. Only reason I might "upgrade" is for a 4K Blu Ray disc burner. I understand that's a thing now.
@@bohemiantech9110 32" is enough for me to have a go, thank you
@@veightyone no sweat.
That length of cable is pathetic.
Hi, is it quiet as a playback device?
It makes some spinning noise, but nothing out of the ordinary. Yeah, you could play a movie on your PC with this drive.
@@bohemiantech9110 Thanks for your answer!
Is mars red or blue in the remaster?
On this Criterion release, it's red, as shown here in comparison to the blueberry Mars on the newer Paramount 4K disc: ultrahd.highdefdigest.com/107366/waroftheworldswhenworldscollide4kultrahdbluray.html
I agrre with you about the limited options of a PC case with the option for a internal Blu Ray drive I have an external DVD rom but now I need to rip some Blu Rays so I just ordered this drive off of amazon
You need to plug it into a USB 3 port if you only have 2.0 you need to use the DC input as well, they come in USB to DC 5v or you can buy a power point to 5v barrel plug. Your original cable also could not deliver the power needed.
Yeah, it was a USB3 port. Problem turned out to be plugging the cable into the port and then plugging the cable into the drive. Reversing the process (plugging the cable into the drive, THEN plugging the other end into the PC) fixed it. Thanks.
@@bohemiantech9110 Interesting I have the same drive was just watching to see if it's normal for it to open a mm and latching when opening turns out it is. Mine doesn't have a problem what order I put the cable in was a bit disappointed it came with a micro b high speed and not USB a to C.
no display? How cheap is that!
I'm just about to buy my first 4K player. Your review has persuaded me to get the LG BK90. Thanks for the useful information. Just what I was looking for.
No sweat. Happy to be of service!
I realized now, it was a bug on the chromecast that messed up my tv
Can this work as a reader too? Can you watch a movie with this or is it burn only?
Works great playing discs, too!
Super late to the party lol but just want to say that I think that you had to first use the cable it came with and after windows recognized it, it doesn't matter how you connected it. But I will try and see if I can recreate the same circumstances and verify if that is true or not. My drive will be arriving in a few days. I need to buy a longer cable lol Could you give me a link to the one you bought? I'd appreciate it sir. Maybe consider updating your description with a link to the cable in question so others who come by will see it. Thanks for the video!
I just bought this today, hopefully it's still good....thanks for sharing
Mine still works great. Hope you enjoy yours!
Great player. Can you also reach and write to the player via network if there is a external HDD connected to it?
Nope. That network/wifi connection is strictly for Netflix, RUclips, and software updates.
I get the black screen with tivo guy then goes to home tv screen the goes back to black tivo guy screen by itself. I've factory reset it 4 times already...
One of my favorite movies of all time. This Criterion restoration is utterly awesome in all respects except for one MAJOR boo boo, flub, Lucas Change, call it what you will, that totally messes the whole movie up for me. The Bomb. They messed with The Bomb! In the original when the bomb first blows up there is a long scene of the desert where the Martian Ships are then an intense flash of white light as the bomb ignites. This is the way A Bombs blow up. We all know this. Blinding White Flash, followed by the development of the explosion ending in mushroom cloud. In the Criterion version, when the countdown hits zero, we see the same long scene of the desert where the Martian Ships are, then, a little explosion under the screen that starts to rise up, like someone blew up a van or something, then they change to the normal sequence of people getting hit with the White Flash as in the original. Why would they neuter the Bomb??? Why replace a nuclear ignition flash with a van exploding? Utter nonsense! My hope is the up coming Paramount 4k version includes all the great changes Criterion made such as removing all the puppet wires from the ships but NOT changing the scenes of the movie itself. Shame on you Criterion!
Yeah, my preorder for that Paramount 4k disc set is already in, even though When Worlds Collide is only HD and not 4k.
@@bohemiantech9110 Bummer, no 4k of WWC???!!!
@@nordattack Correct. The set is a double feature of 1953 War of the Worlds and 1951's When Worlds Collide. However, War of the Worlds will be a 4k disc and When Worlds Collide will be a standard Blu Ray disc.
Hi Bohemian Tech, Thanks for the upload. I just bought the same one in July 2022. I was going to get the Asus one but it did not have the burn functions I was after. What appealed to me was the vertical opening as I bought a slim external Pioneer that swallowed my DVD, I fear the tiny drawer motors are under specced for the job. So I have tried to gently place 3x different DVD/CD's into it and it sits up off the spindle? It does not lie flat and I don't want to force it... any clues? Thank you in advance if you see this.
Sorry this is the only 4k Blu Ray burner I've had any experience or knowledge of at all.
Man has anyone told you sound like Dan Aykroyd. Just saying
Yep.
That don't make no damned sense. I won't waste my time throwing money away for any renewed Amazon phones
Looking for a cheap reliable phone for my nephew to travel with....dunno why young people break their phones so often. I swear he's had 10phobes through his hands from the age of 12-20y
RUclips should not allow stupid poeple like this one to make videos thats for sure..!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
ANd this idiont think was a fault of he cable .. ingnorance ignorance ignorance.... !!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's not all plastic. The bottom is clearly aluminum.
It's not made of all plastic. It's metal as well.
Why did they add the C if it's exactly the same player as the UBK90?
Because it was being sold at a warehouse club (in this case Costco) rather than a regular retail store. And likely to prevent price matching at other stores. I picked up this player at Costco at the time for $99. But even now a year and a half later, you can find the UBK90 for $250 in some places.
@@bohemiantech9110 I bought the UBK90 this morning from Amazon for £220 in the UK. I really wish they put a screen on the middle. There's plenty of space. It's a little too big and chunky I think but I've bought it anyway hoping it'll be perfect with my LG 4K TV. I'll probably miss my current LG HD DVD player only because it has a screen on the middle and it's a bit smaller. Had it for 6 years and I haven't had a problem with it.
I want to rip, not burn. Does this work for that too?
Hardware-wise, yes it will work for ripping discs. But it does not include any software for that purpose. You will need to get something like AnyDVD or DVDfab and then you can rip discs from this drive.
I have an LG UBK90 4K UHD player which is multi region
Cool. I need to do something like that so I won't need a region-free BD player next to the LG on the shelf.
@@bohemiantech9110 I have the multi region player because I enjoy watching movies and tv shows from various parts of the 🌏 on DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K UHD
There’s. 2 different settings one one one the left and one one the top right. I figured out eventually after being frustrated for a few days.
Hey not those settings lol. Press the circle button then hit the settings on the top right.
That polo shit and white walls are so bOhEmIaN, dude.
Renewed? that phone is destroyed.
That's for sure!
Üdv! Nekem ilyen van, szuper, nem lehet róla rosszat írni! Minden visz, de tényleg mindent! Legjobb a világon!!!!!
why is this 250 euro atm? :§
I picked one up on clearance at Wal-Mart for $20. I have been using it as an audio-only Chromecast device with a HDMI soundbar. It works fine in that capacity. I don't own a 4k TV, and the TV we have is almost never used. We tend to watch shows and movies on our computers, in the browser, instead. Even then, all of us are using 1080p monitors, so 4k HDR is not really a thing for us. We're weird, but happy.
Long as it works for you, that's all that matters!
Idk why none of the major HT/Audio RUclipsrs talk about this player. It seems to do just as much as the Sony X800m2 but significantly less
Funny you should mention the Sony. Main reason I bought this player in the first place was because my X800 (not M2) died.
@@bohemiantech9110 for whatever reason Costco doesn't seem to be selling any bluray players right now as well
I hope This helps on my Chromecast I hope 🙏
i cant get any sound....ughhhh
Sorry to hear that. Every time I think I should get another one and give it another chance (I returned that original one within a week), I get a comment like yours and I realize I should just let it be.
very bad sound
+1 for the review really well made Two questions: 1) is there a 5V external adapter hole in the back of this drive? 2) is the top aluminium metal or just silver color plastic? Also Bohemian Tech shoud run for presidency because: - Clear voice Strong will - Decicive action - No bullshit - Honest fearless - For the Benefit of the Welbeing of the Greater Goods
1. Nope, just a USB 3.0 connector. 2. The top is black plastic. 3. Thanks for the endorsement!
Mine works perfectly from out of the box but it is the PRO version and no expanded storage. Sorry to hear about your nightmare experience.
Thanks!
Not compatible with Catalina or earlier iMac operating systems. The BDR-XD05 is compatible but it is difficult to find.
Sorry to hear that.
La empresa debería de fabricar una nueva actualización de este producto , con un mejor procesador y con entrada ethernet; sería de los más vendidos.
What reason did you change the 60hz to 24hz on the display mode?
Because 24fps is the speed film runs at. So the 24hz setting matches the player frame rate to the disc frame rate. Hope that helps!
@@bohemiantech9110 thank you- I have 4 k tv and play 4K movies on this 4K LG player. I should change this setting then to 24hz?
@@wardmccomiskey2401 I would. 24hz looks great on my setup.
@@bohemiantech9110 Thank you and appreciate your help very much.
That looks like an earlier box.
Yeah, bought it when first released.
What additional cable did you buy?
Here ya go: www.amazon.com/dp/B00C7RXR72/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_Z57GX8GYRAJA7DK1QCKW?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
good morning i would like to know if the remote control already comes with the mouse option?
Nope, sorry no mouse option.
does the UBK90 model support 220v?
Yes, spec page says 120-240VAC.
It'll burn yet capacitors , stick to 120v
LG UBK 90 has minimal menu settings options and sluggish response remote. However, it does produce excellent video.
Agreed.
