For those who know how to use it. If you’re not about to abuse those features, do not get it, go slightly cheaper. That’s my opinion.

Perfect example of only showcasing mainstream products..the onn google tv boxes are really good actually better than what Google offers and not even an honorable mention

I returned my onn google tv as the picture shuddered ( i have fiber so it wasn’t speed ). I never had that problem with Firetv but it has its own features. I understand that it may go Kaput soon as Amazon will be replacing it and my old streamers from Amazon will not work. I hope Apple will come out with a new streamer soon. Only Tim Apple knows for sure.

So does the Amazon Firestick 4K Max (2024) not compete?
@PSYCHOV3N0M
December 14, 2024 at 9:19 am
Of course it does. It wipes the floor with Roku thanks to sideloading and it also supports Wi-Fi 6E while Roku is still stuck on Wi-Fi 5. 🤣🤣🤣
@Sir_Tanooki_Dookie
December 14, 2024 at 9:36 am
I literally own all the different brands streaming devices. I have gone through many Google devices to the most recent, I’ve own 3 Roku devices and had plenty of experience using other people’s underpowered Roku featured TVs (Last years Ultra with the rechargeable battery and headphone jack is my most recent), and just recently bought 2024’s Amazon Firestick 4K Max because a projector I got has an internal port specifically made for it.
The Amazon Firestick 4K Max rivals and even out performs the speed of my Roku Ultra from last year (the newest is just a remote update). And as for a stick device, the 4K max completely dominates the Roku Stick. I returned this due to the lack of memory onboard.
The Google TV I love for casting, but I don’t like how easy the remote buttons are press. My dog, girlfriend and I have accidentally pressed buttons interrupting what we were watching way too much. But the worst thing about it, and wasn’t a dealbreaker for me because you just had to understand settings, was the audio and video options if we’re put an auto was very often cause formatting issues when changing app to app. You would have to either turn off your television or understand what formats your television and the Google TV were compatible of doing after max. Otherwise, if you had the AutoSettings on you would have errors quite often.
I’m absolutely new to Amazon fire stick 4K Max, but I found it crazy that it wasn’t even mentioned considering that compared to the Roku it’s memory storage as far bigger, and switching between apps is far faster than my Roku Ultra from last year and that device is a lot bigger with the same amount of storage. Not to mention that the Wi-Fi is 6E which I believe is better than the devices I mentioned before it.
@Sir_Tanooki_Dookie
December 14, 2024 at 9:42 am
@ I literally own all three of the big streaming devices to their most recent releases.
The 4K max is my newest purchase because the projector I purchased is specifically designed for it to use and you insert it internally. It rivals my Roku ultra from last year because it processes and switches between apps way faster and on top of that it’s only a stick format.
Compared to the Roku stick it’s leagues better especially with the internal storage and its Wi-Fi capabilities. And compared to the Google TV, again the storage is an issue, but I especially don’t like the remote considering how easy it is to press the buttons on accident.
The 4K max is compatible with every HDR format and audio format and has 16 gigs of memory in a stick form. I was just curious why it wasn’t mentioned at all. Is there something I’m missing?

How much is Roku paying you? 😂
Apple TV 4K and Fire TV Cube both craps all over Roku any day of the week. And Onn’s own Google TV streaming box is way better than the Chromecast.
@DannerBanks
December 14, 2024 at 11:56 am
I’ve owned Fire TVs for about 10 years and as much as I love my cibe for being a smart speaker, universal remote, and settop box, the software is terrible. And I’m not talking UI (although I know some people have beef with it). It’s so laggy I have to restart my device every other day. The fandango app doesn’t work. Voice search doesn’t grab movie titles including “(with bonus features)”

Anyone not putting Apple tv as the best streaking device is obviously paid by the competitors. There is no comparison, no glitches like other devices.

@savoryexposure
December 14, 2024 at 1:04 pm
The problem with the Roku devices is that the interface and even the remote is subsidized by ads. So yes it’s cheaper, but it has poor privacy and you’re being pushed to download apps, ads for sports events, prime video etc. Apple TV is a clean, ad free space, with options to ask apps not to track you

Instead of products sold under cost to make them, and then suffer through ads and years of garbage updates, just get an ad free Apple TV on sale and be an adult with a job. Apple TVs are trouble free and last many years. I still have an ATV 2 which is now still usable for Airplay. Even a ATV HD is updated with latest OS and works great on 1080p sets or 4K sets.

Apple TV is the best streaming device. The fact you dismiss it shows your lack of knowledge in streamers and probably best to let someone else take the lead on best streamers video in 2025.
