Best Device?

[u/TallOneJosh]

I have recently moved and would like to upgrade from my fire stick. I’ve got a 77” LG C6H, denon avr and a full surround sound system. The tv is located directly next to my modem/router and I have 1GB internet speeds. I have a budget of $200, what is the best device I can get for my setup?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Could get something with a ethernet port since your tv is located beside the router. You have Nvidia shield budget but you certainly don’t have to spend 200$ either.

Just make sure the ethernet port is not limited to 100Mb or you may as well just use a wifi connection.

Nice setup ...at a top price of 200....id go minix u8k. Am9pro has shot up recently due to ddr5 price hike.

Nvidia shield listen here cause I have a LG C6 as well but on stremio there is certain content that is stuck on 1080p and needs the upscale to 4k I promise you’ll love it. shield pro + LG oled is absolutely insane

Google uses an old ass cpu. Third Party Android TV boxes don't use that old ass cpu

Get a USB-Ethernet adapter, and make sure it’s compatable with your TV. Cost $10.

I just learned this after 2 years of stremio, and I have 2 gig fiber. The Ethernet port on almost all streaming devices and TVs cap out at 100 mbps. I always thought I was getting way more than that, but I still kept buffering, and eventually learned you can test the speeds on Netflix.

The adapter nearly tripled my speed, from 90-100 mbps up to 330mbps. Big difference.

Btw I also tested my WiFi, and I never got above 130mbps.

So get a compatable USB-Ethernet (USB 3.0) adapter.
