Expert Opinion
Professional reviewers commend the KM2 Plus for its Netflix 4K certification, robust HDR and Dolby Atmos support, and the added convenience of a voice remote and Chromecast integration. They note the expanded USB and microSD ports as a clear advantage over rivals like Chromecast. However, they criticize the unchanged 2 GB RAM, modest CPU upgrade, and the 100 Mbps Ethernet limitation, positioning the device as a solid basic streaming solution rather than a premium offering.
What Users Say
Everyday users appreciate the straightforward setup, smooth 4K@60fps playback, and the ability to expand storage with external drives or an SD card. Common complaints revolve around the limited 2 GB RAM causing occasional lag, the small 16 GB internal storage filling quickly, and the lack of gigabit Ethernet, with some noting Wi‑Fi speeds that feel modest for high‑bitrate content.
Common Complaints
Limited 2 GB RAM leading to multitasking lag, small 16 GB internal storage that fills quickly, 100 Mbps Ethernet bottleneck, inconsistent Bluetooth version reporting, and absence of USB network sharing for local media servers.
