If you watch much digital streaming – like most of the planet’s population – you’ve probably noticed that finding the ideal streaming gadget, balancing price and performance, is a little like looking for a needle in a digital haystack. And that’s where the ONN. 4K PRO comes in. Like a big-ticket item tossed out to sea with an anchor tied loosely to it, the ONN. 4K PRO is a low-budget device that’s easy to spot, floating on a sea of streaming devices and hard to categorise. Coated in a slick budget-priced shell, we’re here to see if the ONN. 4K PRO is truly a worthy device for your streaming needs. But does the ONN 4K PRO stand out in a market full with choice? Let’s dissect this streaming monster.
Its small, modern, minimalist black case fits inconspicuously into any media-viewing set-up, requiring little real estate. At 2.4 ounces (69g) and 4.1 inches x 1.2 x 0.7 inches, it’s closer in size to a candy bar than a layered media hub or a set-top box. It’s made of almost entirely plastic, and its matte finish not only feels cheap but promises to attract fewer smudges and fingerprints. That said, it’s reasonably sturdy enough for everyday use. Those seeking heftier, more premium form factors won’t find a whole lot of sex appeal here.
Ports and connectivity, also a strength: here you have HDMI, USB, Ethernet and more, plus dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.2, as well as a voice-activated remote for easier searching. Just as you might with walk-in mats, you’re likely to want to maximise what’s at hand.
A quad-core processor is paired with 2GB of RAM and the ONN. 4K PRO also runs on Android TV 11, so its user experience is likely to be as fluid as it is intuitive. Video is captured and streamed in 4K resolution at 60fps with HDR10 and HLG — meaning you’ll be able to go from one episode of a favourite series to the next, or make your way through an entire movie marathon, without having to worry about stuttering, lag or drops in quality.
The ONN. 4K PRO comes out of the box with a host of streaming apps, many of which are from the biggest players in the game, such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and Hulu. The ability to download apps from the Google Play Store, as well as having the benefit of Google Assistant and Chromecast support, makes the ONN. 4K PRO a centralised entertainment device. Though not built for gaming, it performs surprisingly well for casual gamers, offering another dimension of entertainment.
The ONN. 4K PRO’s essential promise is that it costs less than other media streamers that do the same thing. Only having to pay less money than you expected can mean a great deal, especially if you were expecting to spend even less than the ONN. 4K PRO costs. As a result, the device is packed with features to entice the value-conscious audience, from 4K resolution support to streaming apps.
Winding up our extensive ONN. 4K PRO review, this TV streaming device is a good fit for media enthusiasts hunting for an affordable streaming device in order to upgrade their home entertainment experience. It may not be a well-built and dreamy device to please the gamers, but if its design improvements, performance and value get the thumbs up, build quality and gamer support just won’t matter much. In the context of streaming devices, the ONN. 4K PRO is a significant nominator of an affordable streaming device with no compromise, and as a result, stands as a strong candidate for consumers hunting for affordable yet powerful streaming solutions.
It’s clear that the use of ‘Pro’ in the nickname ONN. 4K PRO points to a commitment to offering features and performance typical of a product optimised for professional use, but made widely available at what could be considered a consumer (or near-consumer) price point. It’s a product optimised for the pro consumer – designed to offer the nearest you could get to ‘pro sum’ and spend for elite quality and functionality, but without demand a professional budget. The nickname therefore picks up on the values promoted by the ‘Pro’ in the ONN. 4K PRO’s ‘prosumer’ strategy of democratising elite streaming for all.
