2017 TV box buying skills? Experts say that if you choose this, what do you think?

Since the emergence of TV boxes, have you still been using one? Well, I'm still using mine, and even smart TV users are buying TV boxes. It's clear that the TV box market is still strong. In fact, many people around me ask Xiao Bian to help them buy a TV box, but they don't know what to pay attention to. I've mentioned this before, but maybe you didn't read it carefully. So today, I'll go into detail and explain everything clearly—don’t worry, no need to spray me if you don't like it!

When it comes to choosing between high or low specs, my suggestion is to go for a higher configuration. Not only will it last longer, but it will also run more smoothly. Nobody wants to end up with a slow, unresponsive TV box that feels like it's constantly lagging. So, invest in something reliable.

For the processor, the best option is to choose a mainstream brand chip. Avoid anything labeled as "flagship TV chip" unless it's from a well-known manufacturer. The top chips on the market include the HiSilicon quad-core, Amlogic octa-core, Rockchip RK3368, and the Crystal Morning quad-core. These are all solid choices.

As for storage, the minimum should be 1GB RAM + 8GB ROM, but 2GB RAM + 16GB ROM is better, and 32GB ROM is even better. Right now, there's no TV box with over 3GB of RAM available on the market.

Decoding capabilities are also important. Look for support for H.265 and 4K resolution. HDR is a nice bonus, but not essential. Also, make sure the TV box has enough ports and supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for better connectivity.

Is having an integrated content platform important? Most TV boxes run on Android and can install third-party video apps, but there are some limitations. When choosing a TV box, it's better to pick one that already includes your favorite video platforms. This avoids the hassle of installing multiple apps just to get the content you want. Platforms like Tencent Video, Youku, and Mango TV are commonly used and come with proper licensing.

How do you choose the right operating system? Most TV boxes use Android 5.0 or above, either developed by the brand itself or based on a third-party OS. Different brands offer different user experiences. The ideal OS is simple, easy to use, and doesn't have too many restrictions. For example, if you can't access local files via USB or can't open third-party apps without jumping through hoops, that’s frustrating.

Currently, Xiaomi’s AI system and Lynx Box’s YUN OS for TV are among the most popular. Xiaomi's system is more advanced, but might be too complex for older users. YUN OS is smoother and more user-friendly, though it had some issues in the past. Still, both systems work well and respond quickly, making them great options.

Is the remote control important? Well, it's not the most critical part, but a good remote can make a big difference. A Bluetooth remote is better than an infrared one, and having voice control is a plus. Voice recognition quality depends on the system used, and currently, the best ones respond quickly and offer a wide range of functions.

Lastly, always go for a trusted brand. When it comes to electronics, big names are usually safer. If you're considering a smaller brand, make sure it has 3C certification. Shanzhai (counterfeit) products used to be popular, but they’re hard to find now and often lack quality, durability, and proper content support.

That’s it for today! I hope this detailed guide helps you choose the right TV box. If you're looking for a good one in 2024, keep these points in mind!
