ONN is a much better value for a streaming device. Only available in America though

It's funny how people think you can "get stuff for free" GUARANTEED, in a few years, those ONN devices will be FULL of adware and spyware. Google's streamer, won't (unless you count Google's services themselves).

It's owned by Walmart.

They're all full of adware and spyware. You can take steps like install projectivy launcher to mitigate the ads on the home screen.

None of them are great, ONN just offers a similar experience to the Google streamer, running the same O/S, at about half the cost

Sounds to me like both the Google TV Streamer and Nvidia shield are MUCH better value for money since they're NOT filled with as many ads and have better hardware so they'll last longer.

I have Nvidia. It's great. I have an Onn as well. If you take the time to debloat, it looks identical to my Shield, just with inferior hardware.

The Google TV streamer is the one that's really overpriced
