Onn
4.2
(42)
"Buy an onn google tv, $20 and it has virtually no loss in performance compared to the google tv streamer"
"Non-audiophile/cinephile user here, I have and love the onn 4k pro."
"Best $50 I ever spent. If your not going Shield, go ONN 4k Pro."
"The price point and performance make it the best choice in my opinion. It’s 1/4 the cost of the Nvidia Shield Pro. It has newer hardware so it’s quick and snappy. It supports Dolby files which makes the upgrade over the $20 version worth it."
"I travel with a ONN Google box. ($20) It has a remote and Google TV and you add Plex plus all the other apps like Netflix, prime, etc."
"I got one of those cheap $20 ONN Google TV stream sticks from Walmart. It's awesome. Works like a charm with stremio."
"Thanks guys im gonna go for the onn. 4k pro for her!"
"The Onn Pro is easily the best $50 device available. Don't think anything else even comes close."
"I have the onn 4K pro and Google Chromecast with Google TV HD and the onn is faster, has a better remote, better port options."
"Just get the onn pro unless some niche audio cases are needed. It’s been top tier for us."

Apple

"Apple TV and Nvidia Shield are the most stable, performant and "just plain works" devices."
"Set Apple TV to 4K HDR and if you have now boost UHD, you’ll get football and F1 in UHD live."
"Just get an Apple TV"
"AppleTV has been my best experience."
"AppleTV or Nvidia Shield are the top 2."
"AppleTV and Infuse NVIDIA shield is awesome but Apple TV provides a superior user experience overall."
"Apple TV for the UK for sure, I read plenty of people ditching Sky due to cost and switching to Apple."
"AppleTV. Nothing else comes close to it."
"Another vote for Apple TV 4K , really good device, I have 3 in my house for few years now and never had an issue."
"The Apple TV 4K is by far the fastest, most reliable and versatile streamer of them all."

Amazon
4.3
(30)
"Since Onn is in the States and the competition is more expensive I suggest Firestick as well."
"Firestick 4k max 2nd gen."
"Firestick 4k max 16 gb."
"Firestick."
"Everything is available including the latest Fire TV 4K Max generation with the 2.0ghz processor."
"It's Amazon but it's also android so you can also side load apps, use revanced, etc. Highly customizable. Stands toe to toe with the aging Nvidia Shield."
"People frequently buy the amazon non 4k stick. You need to get the 4k max firestick. I got it, and it does wonders."
"Keep a fire stick 4k in my backpack for everyday and travel, never know when it’s time to watch Plex or TV."
"New 4k Fire stick is the best of all the options. Had a roku and returned it because it wouldn't reauthenticate when required on hotel wifi."
"A current Fire TV Stick is the best mix of price, performance, and convenience."

"I use a 2017 SHIELD to stream to my 83” Samsung OLED and it’s fine."
"Best would be Nvidia Shield TV Pro."
"Apple TV and Nvidia Shield are the most stable, performant and "just plain works" devices."
"NVIDIA Shield if cost is not a primary concern."
"NVidia Shield."
"Nvidia shield pro all the way! Bought and tried both, ended up giving my brother in law the Apple TV 4K and replaced it with a shield."
"I made all my users buy a shield. Works great"
"Nvidia shield is still the best."
"The Shield is the only one I would recommend if you want a consistently working, hassle free, and easy to manage client app."
"In my opinion, the nvidia shield still holds the crown."

"It works great on all of my Roku devices."
"We have 5 Roku. They are just dead simple, work and any non IT savvy person can pick up the remote and use it."
