@@riot9179honestly kinda true. I bought a $650 55 inch pretty amazing 4k tv less than a year ago and it’s close to as good as a $30 Google stick on sale in terms of speed. What is nice is controlling it from my phone is really easy casting works well and it’s fairly fast. Plus being built in it works more smoothly than my Xbox or a Roku or Google stick. I personally wouldn’t ever get a fire stick the interface is trash and it’s not any cheaper or better really at least imho and use case.

They have had so much time to close the gap between the fire stick and the Nvidia Shield. In late 2023, It would have been nice to see this be at least 80% as powerful as the shield at its $60 price point. That would have a nice sweet spot.

@@RusticRonnieIt has zero to do with it being cheap. It has to do with most products still come with micro USB. That is why y'all are constantly saying things like 'oh it doesn't have USB-C'. Not to mention around 90% of older products still in use so in fact use micro USB. Hate to tell you, but micr USB is far more available than USB-C. So that is why they still use USB, because they figure there is a much better chance of their customers having accessories that use micro USB. I own a lot of electronics, and literally just have 4 devices with USB-C. One is a phone, one is an XBOX controller, one is a MURS radio and the other is a HAM radio. Most new products I buy come with micro USB. Not sure why you goofs keep whining about a USB connection. I have zero doubts that more of your electronic devices use micro USB than USB-C. It is just like any other product, it takes years to fully switch over to the new standard. For example, VHS was still being used years after DVDs were available. I remember well into the 2000s video video stores still rented out mostly VHS tapes. Why would they do that? Well because they knew most of their customers still used VCRs. It is 2023 and you can still buy new VHS movies at Walmart. It will be no different with micro USB, years from now there will still be a small number of products using it. Just be happy it is not something like firewire. For a few years all the MiniDV camcorders came with firewire, and firewire was how you would get your videos from your camcorder to your computer. Very few computers even had firewire. Still today people use MiniDV camcorders and tapes, and the number one problem is they can never find a computer with firewire ports. MiniDV came out in the 90s, and is actually still very popular today, and it is still a pain to deal with because firewire never really caught on. You can still get MiniDV VCRs, but they are expensive, and is the easiest way to view and edit your MiniDV tapes because of the whole firewire nonsense. So just be happy you ain't dealing with a connection like firewire.

I cant move files around like before with this new 4k max, so I cant emulate or even install old games like GTA SA to my new 4k , just seems theres lots of bugs that need to be fixed up so far, another BIG setback is the PS4 controller new or old will not work with the New 2nd Gen 4kmax it connects but wont function, my cheap pro controller for Nswitch works like a charm

I use it not only for games, but also for adless video playback.
