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 🇨🇴💯💥👌
I've only used Roku for years and bought this after having issues with my Roku and I have to say the Onn 4K Pro is really good. Other than getting used to the interface, I'm happy with it
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.
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!
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.
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?
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.
You can use a file manager to copy it from a different device onto a flash drive, then plug the flash drive into the Onn 4K Pro and transfer the app, via another file manager.
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!
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.
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.
Onn has kind of been killing it with the affordable streaming devices and tablets I have the 12.1 tablet and if you are getting it just for some steaming and RUclips it’s killer
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
I don't think so, unless you format it to 'device' storage (and 'FAT32' format?). That MIGHT make it unrecognizable for External media ... I'm not sure ... unless you use adb commands to 'partition' the USB storage. Also possibly could plug in a USB 'hub' (with or without an extra ethernet port) that would give you EXTRA USB 3.0 ports. Then could have one USB flash drive (FAT32?) for extra apps (device storage) AND a SECOND flash drive (or even portable HD) for 'media' content! I did see a video from a YT channel where the guy demonstrated (in real time) that the ONN 4K 'Pro' box actually is capable of reading 'exFAT' formatted drives! This would get you around the file-size limitations of 'FAT32' formatted drives (no good for larger high bit-rate movies). What I don't know ... is if the box will recognize two USBs in the different formats that are plugged into the same 'hub'?
I got one of these and installed but the problem is when the TV is off and I ask question like "Hey Google how is the weather today?" the speaker of the TV box does not respond! I am sure that the TV box gets my question and it is answering but the voice is going to TV through HDMI cable even though the TV is off! Then when I disconnect the HDMI cable from TV and try again I get the answer from TV Box speaker! I don't know what is wrong but while the HDMI Cable is connected to TV and TV is turned off I can not hear any answer from my Google! Any suggestions will be highly appreciated to solve this problem!
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.
i wish they would add a atenna jack so you could really do it all watch local tv without any turning the box off then it would be perfect thank for the video
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.
In case this confuses anyone, this box is fully capable of controlling the volume of either the box itself or of the TV/whatever it's plugged into. It is also capable of turning off your TV with the power button. The audio thing is not something I've seen while using it for the last week. Could be a defective unit or it could be misbehaving with something with your setup. I have tested it with a receiver running into some large speakers and with a TV outputting over optical.
@@sirjohndoeofpa3292 the shield is the best if u have a decent tv the AI upscaling is a beast plus all that power u get plus android tv is way better than google tv to many ads
What was your order number? I'm in management and can maybe look it up for you to see what's going on. I'm going to guess the item was out of stock but it should give you an option to ship to house.
This is why I boycott Walmart. I used to buy all my groceries at Walmart and purchased things online. I made a purchase online for about $300, and it went through, but almost immediately, Walmart decided to cancel my order due to "suspicious activity." This had nothing to do with my bank, as they accepted the charge. Walmart made this decision. I called them, and they told me to just repeat the transaction, pay another $300, and the original charge would be refunded within 30 days. I told them where to stick it and no longer shop with Walmart. They have no right to make decisions about the validity of a paynent. This is the job of the financial institution.
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!
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?
@@metalcrip89 The first Noticable difference is the Video Quality on the ONN Pro. Its worse than the previous Onn Box. Skin tones are darker with the Pro. You have to constantly play with the TVs video settings and its still not the same. The previous Onn box shows more vivid in video quality. I was going to buy 2 when i first bought the Onn pro but, i am going to hold off on that. My other boxes show better. I am not satisfied with the way it looks. Also.. The first Onn Box has less bloatware.. Its slightly faster than the Onn second and 3rd boxes. It runs on Android TV vs Google TV on the second and 3rd boxes.
@@JuanBurgos-i8x That's called HDR being used on a cheaper TV. Disable HDR and you'll have the brightness back again. or buy a more expensive, brighter TV which can truly handle HDR.
I understand that you can somewhat get around this by buying a USB 3.0 Ethernet Hub ('uGreen' or other, '4-way' less than $20). Depending on the bandwidth you pay for, I think you could get at least 200-400 Mbps DOWNLOAD speed (maybe better?), as opposed to being limited to the 95-99 Mbps by plugging directly into the box's onboard ethernet port.
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.
⁉️ 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! 😂
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.
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
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!
If there are two possible targets for "Hey, Google," both will start listening and then one will respond. I've disabled the hotword on my phones for years because of this. No option to change the trigger word on any Google device. Not sure on the Amazon speakers, but I'd guess they aren't interoperable.
Yes it's U.S. and Puerto Rico only. You can order it through e-bay but you will need a adapter for overseas use. Also, it may not work in PAL countries. Good luck.
I have the OG Shield and while this thing is not match for it on 3DMark (it somehow only managed a score of 200..), in terms of normal use it's outstanding. It's right there with my Shield, if not faster.
Discord lowered the volume of my mic at some point and I'm not sure if anything was recorded with that being the case, but that's the only possibility I can think of offhand. EDIT: It's also possible I had an air conditioner going and you're hearing noise cancellation doing it's best.
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?
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.
@@shanecraigtech Maybe, but for someone who just wants a basic streaming player the 20 dollar ONN box still does the job well enough, so why spend over double for the extra features. Plus from all I've seen the speaker does not integrate well into a Nest speaker setup for whole home music, as when you ask the ONN speaker to play music it routes it through the HDMI port to your TV instead of the speaker itself. So yeah it all depends on your needs.
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
@TheAlphamale215 the device after its been on for awhile doesn't even show my saved networks, or the 2 networks in my room, or even my neighbors networks, it acts like it overheats and shutdown the wifi radio, im just using it ethernet, and that works fine.
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 RUclips 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.
@johnszatkowski6898 Can you turn off the listening feature on that cube with a switch like you can with the ONN box? Amazon employees were caught listening to recordings from users' devices and you have to opt out to stop human review is recordings. Google suspended human review of users' voice recordings in 2019 and now you have to opt in to that. Google is bad but Amazon is worse.
@@CanItAlready BUT, you can delete the history. Do you really think Google is any better/worse for that matter? They ALL track the living fu@k out of you!
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.
Using 'Smarttube (Next)' app gets rid of the (out-of-control) YT ads. And this box can download any Android-based 3rd-party apps ... just like FireOS devices. It is just as capable of being used responsibly.
@@shanecraigtech Not true.There are plenty of apps with tons of content,you can side load.There are many people on youtube,that can and will show you how to sideload really good apps.

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
Is the Onn box better than the firestick...
Yes
100% better
@@aviwoodstar8007does d onn buffers a lot ?
Had it for 3 weeks and it showed no signs of buffering so far but my amazon cubes buffers a lot
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!
If there are two possible targets for "Hey, Google," both will start listening and then one will respond. I've disabled the hotword on my phones for years because of this. No option to change the trigger word on any Google device. Not sure on the Amazon speakers, but I'd guess they aren't interoperable.

Thanx, kindly for the feedback! 👍
Is this device region specific?? only for few countries? can i run it in South Asian country?
Yes it's U.S. and Puerto Rico only. You can order it through e-bay but you will need a adapter for overseas use. Also, it may not work in PAL countries.
Good luck.
I own two of these, neither with the back lit remote 😑. I also watch Paramount+ 😂
Is this more powerful (specs, etc.) & Better then a Nvidia box ?
I have the OG Shield and while this thing is not match for it on 3DMark (it somehow only managed a score of 200..), in terms of normal use it's outstanding. It's right there with my Shield, if not faster.
@@shanecraigtech thank you ! I didn't know this product existed. Does it do Dolby Atmos?
Dolby Vision and Atmos
No, and there is no reason to look at another streaming box until someone makes a better one than the Shield Pro at a lower price.
Thx u 4 sharing very informative
Buffering I don't believe it. None of my other streaming devices buffer. Why is this Onn 4K pro buffering?
Everything I own buffers....
has anyone noticed, unless it's just me, at the audio from the mic is a bit different sounding?
Discord lowered the volume of my mic at some point and I'm not sure if anything was recorded with that being the case, but that's the only possibility I can think of offhand.
EDIT: It's also possible I had an air conditioner going and you're hearing noise cancellation doing it's best.
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?
He showed that at the very beginning.....the microphone has a physical switch to turn off the microphone
My old tv box had a mouse button, that was awesome for browsing
I have a third party remote that has a gyro mouse that works fine with this.
I wish it was not a speaker. Doesit have Bluetooth?
Yes. You can disable the smart speaker stuff with a switch on the side.
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.
The speed difference is substantial too. For what that's worth.
@@shanecraigtech Maybe, but for someone who just wants a basic streaming player the 20 dollar ONN box still does the job well enough, so why spend over double for the extra features.
Plus from all I've seen the speaker does not integrate well into a Nest speaker setup for whole home music, as when you ask the ONN speaker to play music it routes it through the HDMI port to your TV instead of the speaker itself.
So yeah it all depends on your needs.
I am having issues with the box freezing when I watch Amazon prime TV. Has anyone else had this issue? Everything else works great.
So far its really good!
Walmart TV streaming box that you can never find at Walmart
Does this have airplay like the roku?
As this is a Google TV product, it has Chromecast support, not AirPlay.
I replaced my failing and aging Shield with this..... couldn't be happier. Nvidia's time has passed
sell it to me cheap bro,your nvidia
Did you see speed difference?
Better the the FTV Cube, & the $20 ONN is better then the FTV Stick..
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
No issues like that with mine. I'd try to swap it.
Make sure dfs is turned off on the router look that up. Mite be messing you up.
@scaryifliteral I'm just using it Ethernet, that's likely how I would've anyways.
@TheAlphamale215 the device after its been on for awhile doesn't even show my saved networks, or the 2 networks in my room, or even my neighbors networks, it acts like it overheats and shutdown the wifi radio, im just using it ethernet, and that works fine.
Love it.
your the first man I no or hear say they don't like TUBE 😅😅😅😅 God true never hear someone say that 😅😂😅😂
Bro you didn't mention anything about os lagging compared to previous google tv 4k😮
Didn't mention it because I didn't see it
You said a SPEAKER when you using it as a MICROPHONE! Speakers and microphones are two different items.
I didn't say speaker, I said smart speaker. Smart speakers have microphones. That's what makes them smart speakers.
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 RUclips 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.
Plus, Amazon gets to keep a record of everything you say, so... Bonus?
@@CanItAlready You think Google does NOT track you?😕😂
@johnszatkowski6898 Can you turn off the listening feature on that cube with a switch like you can with the ONN box?
Amazon employees were caught listening to recordings from users' devices and you have to opt out to stop human review is recordings. Google suspended human review of users' voice recordings in 2019 and now you have to opt in to that.
Google is bad but Amazon is worse.
@@CanItAlready That, I can not answer but, if they wish to listen, I have NOTHING to hide. Not sex dealer or view illegal content.
@@CanItAlready BUT, you can delete the history. Do you really think Google is any better/worse for that matter? They ALL track the living fu@k out of you!
Put a emulator on it
Hands up if your Onn 4K Pro's remote has a "Free TV" blue botton 🙋🏽♂️😂

Doctor Who??? LMAO
But I normally avoid Walmarts. :)
A good product is a good product lol. Hard to buy anything from a retailer that isn't problematic..
It's Walmart.There is no s at the end.
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.
Correct, you will have to pay for content in some form or fashion as is true with any legal starting box 😐
Using 'Smarttube (Next)' app gets rid of the (out-of-control) YT ads.
And this box can download any Android-based 3rd-party apps ... just like FireOS devices. It is just as capable of being used responsibly.
@@shanecraigtech Not true.There are plenty of apps with tons of content,you can side load.There are many people on youtube,that can and will show you how to sideload really good apps.
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.
What on earth are you doing on this box that needs more bandwidth than that?
Agreed, to play 4k local network videos you want this. a $15 USB Gig ethernet adapter plugged in the back solves it and works well.
Does the USB DRIVE support NTFS & EXFAT format?
FAT32 and exFAT
also supports YERFAT
What is model number? Need to be able to setup in Harmony Elite
Me too
