I'm getting a Hisense Q8G in a week and I'd like to watch some 4k movies on it. I've heard that Kodi can be a bit too demanding for the system they have built into the TV (at least for 4k content). What is the best app to watch 4k content without worrying about lagging or freezing? HDR and 10bit/H265 support would be appreciated too.
What do you guys use to watch your 4k content on your H8G/Q8G or borderline underpowered Android TV box?
You should definitely at least try Kodi when you get the TV.
If this TV runs Android and has access to the play store then you can give Nova Video Player a try.

I really dont see the point of 8k 12k 200k if even 4k sometimes gives a problem and I have gig internet.
My opinion the best way to get "HDR and 10bit/H265 " is to download load it via torrent then watch it from a usb stick. There are many movie scrappers out there but few will give you true 4k HDR content even with a Real-Debrid account.
