The price for the upcoming Onn 4k Plus streaming box has seemingly been released. It's reportedly going to be $29.88 and come with Google TV Android 14. Not bad for a CCwGT replacement.
They are made in China going to depend on tariffs.
Yes, a city in China: USA
looking forward to this. All of the ONN streamers have been fantastic for the price.
I agree. They aren't loaded down with junk apps either.
for now...
Mine were made in Vietnam, not that it matters.
The last super duper Wallmart ONNe witht eternet port had issues playing large blu ray rips. Apple TV plays everything without a glitch. The Andriod OS gets fat and bloated on every new version.

It is a well known way get things labeled as made in USA.
I would avoid any Google TV box for now, please see the link below Vaughn posted on another thread.
I have the Onn 4K Google TV and it cannot play a 50fps video with Hardware decoder, get spinning circle,
and judders like crazy dropping thousands of frames when using Software decoder.
If any one knows a work-around please reply.
And FYI, the Firestick 4K does not have this problem.

The excerpt below says Chromecast, but its on the Onn Google TV also, probably all Google TV boxes.
Excerpt from the link, read all the comments:
“Google is releasing a new firmware upgrade for Chromecast with Google TV. This is the Android 14 update.
But this firmware includes a serious problem: it lacks H.264 hardware video decoding!
This breaks any use of this device for Digital TV services, as many of them use this codec.”

Just a general thought here about all devices of this nature... dammit I wish they all offered a version with 6-8gigs of ram. The only issues I have on the Shields I've owned over the years is they eventually appear to simply die because an app won't release resources and the 3 gigs of ram just isn't enough, causing a need to reboot. The tube versions only have 2gigs, completely useless.
Sure, they'd cost more, but it would be well worth it.

I'm wondering if there is a type-o in that post confusing H.264 with H.265. On Chromecast with Google TV, H264 works just fine while H.265 does not work.
For reference the difference:
H.264 vs. H.265 (HEVC):
While H.264 is widely used, H.265 (High Efficiency Video Coding or HEVC) offers even better compression efficiency and image quality, especially at higher resolutions. H.265 is becoming increasingly popular, particularly for 8K and other high-resolution content.

These are on the shelf at my local Walmart as of yesterday. I almost bought one but when reviewing the specs its not much different from last years 4k box (not the pro) aside from DV support and a bumped processor. still only 2gb of ram. Also, since I have like 15 streaming boxes I decided it want worth the $30 bucks at this time. 
BUT, if anyone wants me to take some pics of it I will run back up to wally and do so. its like 3 minutes from the crib
I also have reached my limit on Streaming Boxes.
I have more streamers than I need too. I keep extras around just in case. I will probably buy one of the 4k plus just to see how it works. I’ve had good luck with the Onn boxes in the past. I have them hooked to encoders and usb to hdmi dongles everywhere. I just hope the android 14 developer mode will work with the ADBTuner eventually.

It makes me getting an android box that could run Coreelec a worthy investment now 
2025 Onn 4K Plus Benchmark Scores — Shockingly powerful for the price
Interesting. This shows the new Onn 4K Plus outperforms a number of streaming devices including the Onn 4K Pro, the Google TV Streamer 4K and all the Fire TV Sticks.

Dang it. Now I have to go buy one. Grrrrr
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say any device these days, for this purpose, that has 2 gigs of ram will never be shockingly powerful, no matter the price.
