After seeing The Verge’s review of the Walmart Onn 4k branded ChromeTV for $20 I had to get one to try out.
For $20 this little streaming box (oyster) flies. I didn’t experience any lag. The longest part of setup was it installing apps after the updates were done.. I’ve never used the branded chrome cast before but if it’s the same or better than this one it’s a beast. Switching menus was seamless no stuttering like Amazons FireTV and not ad central like Amazon also.
The AppleTV is still king in my house but I definitely picked up another Onn 4k Chromecast for the other TV that had FireTV built in.
