I own the onn. Google TV 4K Pro (from Summer 2024) and think it should also be included in the “top crop” for comparisons. I’m not noticing any significant differences from official Streamer (esp. with AV formats: same lack of audio support, TrueHD, DTS-HD, etc). Is the Streamer on Android 14 already? (ONN is on 12 for now, unsure of updates.)
I have tried a few HEVC DV (Profile 8) and they play (both Plex and Jellyfin). I changed DV to “low latency”, seems to have solved my HDR issues. Even AV1 HDR, which I thought nothing would play (will try DV P8 and update). Although it may be picky with encoding settings (I’ve only had trouble with some AV1, but JF plays, hopefully fixable).
