    4k output is great. Streaming Plex to PC in 4k with Atmos is perfect. AI upscaling on old content is beautiful. But the Netflix button is the biggest button on the thing and the only one that gets hit on accident interrupting literally everything you do on the device. Want to disable the button? That sounds like something that should be totally customizable on a $200 MSRP item. Not this one. You have to pay for a 3rd party program called Button Mapper if you want to do something so basic. So take this one review with a grain of salt but I've hit the darn Netflix button enough for me to come here and give this thing 1 stars just to vent at my remote. Stop interrupting my media with this dumb button you stupid triangle.

    It costs $200 and then they ruin it with ads. Get an Apple TV instead. Good otherwise though.

    I had to wait for the latest model to come out. No problem.. But when I received it, the packaging seemed as if it was euther someones return or a floor model? The remote I've changed the batteries several times to get it to work. Just seemed strange ..

    Its decent and will do whats needed but the technology is dated and needs to be upgraded. Better to wait for the next version.

    Within three hours of setting this up, it froze and I had to do a hard reboot several times. Tried all the updates and worked with it until I finally returned it. May have just been my experience, but I don't plan to give it another shot
