Android TV Box 11.0, MECOOL KM2 Plus Deluxe Smart TV Box 4GB 32GB Certification Netflix, Google Assistant Dolby Atmos Vision, Compatible with AV1 HDR 4K 2.4G 5.0G WiFi6 BT5.0 Amlogic S905X4

I am using this MECOOL Android TV Box for a few weeks now and mostly, I love it. I used to have the Nvidia Shield TV 2015, 2017 and 2019. Nvidia seems to have abandoned their product and in addition I had issues with the outdated Shield TV and because of the non-existence support I decided to move on. The new Roku Ultra is still a terrible product and then I found this MECOOL TV Box. I am using a HDMI switch, one line to the TV (HDMI 2.1) and the other to the receiver (HDMI 1.4) for better sound and it worked just wonderful right out of the box. Since this is based on the Android operating system the home screen looks similar to the Nvidia Shield TV, which I like. The MECOOL Box is fast, the only thing I am missing from the Shield TV is not being able to close the background apps. On the Shield TV you just double click the home/menu button in order to see and close the apps running in the background. Unfortunately, there is no such function here. I also like the remote, it is lightweight and works like a charm and I was able to integrate this remote into my Logitech Harmony Elite Remote. I was very positively surprised the MECOOL was listed in Harmony’s database. Hopefully MECOOL will improve and support this little streamer and provide software updates.

The box works really well for streaming.

This is a nice little Android TV box, and I do mean very little. This unit is much smaller than the Fire TV Cube and the Shield TV Pro. Performance is fine, but startup from sleep is a tiny bit laggy. Not that big of a deal and it clears up in a second or two.Playing things from Netflix, Hulu, HBO, Prime, Paramount, and Youtube all work perfect. Havent found a problem yet. Plex though, quite a few files wont play properly. I havent figured out the common denominator on what files have trouble, as I found some .avi files that wont play (which is a very old container and codec on those files) but I also found a few that were .mkv/h.264 that wouldnt play and even .mkv/h.265 that wouldnt play. The video just sits there on a black screen with no audio. I have to manually go in and tell plex to "convert video" and it will play then, but performance of the video is pretty bad then.So if you dont use Plex then this is great, if you do use Plex this is kinda "eh".

I like that Netflix runs fast. It's expensive.It doesn't have volume leveling or normalization, which is a deal breaker for me. Explosions will break your speakers and talking is nearly inaudible.There's no graphics controls either, I like to keep the TV dim at night, not blinding me.

I purchased this to update from a Nvidia Shield. It’s far superior to the Shield mostly because Nvidia has not updated the product since 2019—the biggest plus for the Mecool box is the 1 gig Ethernet port(WiFi also available). I tweaked the box by allowing developer options on the box—-installed all apps I use and it really works well——loads fast—HDR/4K picture with Dolby audio(I have a surround sound system)—-picture and audio are excellent—there are plenty of videos on YouTube to help you set it up. I’m really happy with it. Highly recommend

Supports Dolby Vision HDR but not Atmos or even TruHD audio?? What's even the point? Guess I'm back to my nVidia Shield.

If you need a box for 4K streaming without a lot of audio needs, this is a good box. Unfortunately the audio options on this box make it a no-go for people with DTS:X and Dolby TrueHD audio format requirements.

This android tv box exceeded my expectations by a long mile. This thing is packed with all the latest features Dolby Vision/HDR10+, HDR10, HLG to Dolby Atoms. It also 100% supports the latest video codec like AV1. This box easily can replace AppleTV and Firestick. The only thing i wished they had was a black version of this device. The pure white just stands out from your entertainment center, which could be an eyesore for some as you rarely see electronics coming in such color. I do however like the white on the remote as it makes it very easy find. Overall, KM2 Plus is a must buy in my book.
