Hi :-), 1st, sorry for what might be a dumb question, just wanna make sure...
I am going to buy a new tv, and was wondering if a monitor might be enough, can save few bucks.

I'll use the "TV" only via Android TV for the kitchen, so a monitor with audio should be ok for me, am I right? Anything I should care? Room matters, so I have to stay below 28 inches. Would love a 4k indeed... a TV is an investment a monitor makes it quite a deal. HDR, 60hz is ok, anything else I have to care? I don't game, so I think a 1ms or a 5ms changes anything, am I right?

Kitchen is unlikely the room where I probably spend the most of my time (asleep :-)) so I care the price but am available for some sacrifice if needed especially on a long term perspective.

Last: the device! Not keen to go for Nvidia, maybe lately when I set up the sitting room as I planned: a device I will be happy with and my pocket will be too? Thanks a lot!!

The Bluetooth remote that came with my MI TV Stick (Android TV Stick) broke. Was wondering if an IR remote will work, cause it's a lot cheaper than the original remote.

Can anyone direct me to a link to or have an official list of certified Android TV devices and their specs including well-known ones like the Chromecast with Google TV and the Nvidia shield? I'm curious as to how many Android TV devices exist and which ones are worth the effort

All of a sudden, without changing anything, each volume change is 2 steps. I can visually see the volume bar sliding 2 positions.

Point of this post is not to get a detailed reply specific to me, is to learn if this is a known bug with something that I'm missing.

My last resort will be a factory reset.

Hi there. I've recently purchased the Onn 4K Android TV box from Walmart and, so far, it has been great.

But since i've bought it, i've been trying to setup the remote to work with my JVC TV (LT32N750U), but none of the codes seem to work with it (i had tried many times).

So, i suposed the HDMI-CEC will serve as a second option, but doesn't seem to be fully functional: the only command that seems to work is when i turn-off the Onn box (it sends the signal to the TV and it turns off too after a couple of seconds). As to the volume and input commands, they don't work at all (btw, the CEC settings are all activated, both on the Onn device and on the TV as well).

So, by now, i'm trying to get a brand code (any) that could work with this TV model, but searching one by one on the Android TV list seems like could took forever.

Any help will be really appreciated. Thanks!

So here's the deal. I live in Dubai. The Hisense U6G and U7G unlike the US version, don't come with Android. They run on Hisense Vidaa OS. The U7G also doesn't support 120Hz here in the midlle east. I have Xbox series S, which should do me fine on a 60Hz screen, I believe! My main use for TV is iptv and streaming movies from apps like CinemaHD. Now I'm a bit tight on the budget. When it comes to the display of both screens is it worth to shed the extra 100$ for the U7G? Or should I get the U6G and use that 100$ for a Chromcast with Google TV and a motion wall mount? I'm in quite a dilemma lol. Any suggestion is appreciated.

Hi i have sideloaded multiple browsers, but every one of them is too zoomed in. Is there a way how to make browser Brave / Opera / Whatever smaller/zoomed out? On some websites I can't see parts of settings windows, because everything is too big. I turned on "show desktop versions of websites", but still everything is too big... Thanks

I have a Android TV that have ChromeCast support, it's connected to Ethernet to my router, but when I want to cast my mobile screen to that TV, nothing shows up. How can I slove this?

Is there a APK or app to add android live TV to a phone or tablet. I do have a hd homerun for a antenna but the app isn't working but my Android live channels is and I'm not sure why?

I would like to cast my Chromebook AppleTV App/website to my Sony AndroidTV since my TV model does not support the AppleTV App. I don't want to use the direct HDMI connection or a chromecast wireless connection. I have both devices on hardline ethernet to the same router. Is there a way to cast through the ethernet connection? Thanks!

I am trying to change subtitle appearance on netflix. Using laptop and phone, the change works fine but in case of tv the change doesn’t work. Although recently the option worked but now the subtitle appearance becomes default in the android tv version. What is the solution here?( I have changed the subtitle appearance several times and also clear data/uninstall the netflix tv app)

I try casting my phone to my skyworth android tv and I'm always having a hard time connecting my phone to tv. Tried casting using Movieboxpro

I flashed and incorrect firmware to the above TV model. It "works" but the colors are all off and grainy. By any chance does anyone have a recovery image? Every link I can find is dead. I have contacted TCL support but they don't seem to want to send me it. It would be a shame to have to throw this away due to my dumb mistake.

I have a new Hisense U8G and this is my first time using Android TV. If I open an app and play video at 2x (even 1.25x) it looks very choppy. This does not happen when I'm using other devices through an HDMI port so it seems to be specific to Android TV. Any ideas on how to solve this?

My grandparents can't trouble shoot the tv anymore and it'll be easier if they call me and I change the channel/select programing for them. Is there any way I can control their TV from my my phone?

I ended up with 3 options, the Meecool km2, Strong Leap-s1 or Thomson THA100.

On the spec sheet they're literally the same, but i read a review about a THA100 buyer who had smoothing applied to his content no matter what media player he uses (Kodi, VLC, ...) and made it look so bad. He said and i quote: "24 fps looks like soap opera".

I just want to know from anyone that owns one of these devices about their picture and playback quality? is there really smoothing applied to the content you're watching?

Also one more thing, can the remote of one device work with another box? eg: can the meecool km2 controller work with the leap-s1 box?

Hello everybody,

I've recently bought cheaply used Phillips TV that fits my needs perfectly (43PUS6501). The only problem is that it has been manufactured back in 2017. It was initially released with Android 6.0 and has been maintained up till Android 8.0. I can't update it beyond that version from the build-in updater.

And here comes my question. Can I update this to Android 12 in any way? Perhaps there is a way to download firmware for newer Philips TV and install it? Firstly, I'd like to connect my DualSense controller (which support was introduced in Android 12) and secondly, I don't feel comfortable having my Google account hooked up to an ancient version of Android. I wish I could do that, as apart from the OS, I totally love the TV.
