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.
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.
Professional reviewers commend the GX1 for its striking Dolby Vision and HDR10+ performance at 2160p60, smooth AV1 playback, and the polished Google TV 12 experience. However, they point out the 100 Mbps Ethernet as a bottleneck for high-bitrate local streaming and note the absence of VC-1 support and limited ventilation as drawbacks for power users.
Everyday users overwhelmingly praise the GX1's video and audio quality, compact size, and responsive interface, often calling it a top-line product that outshines competitors. The most common complaints revolve around screen-resize issues on certain LCD TVs and the lack of Gigabit Ethernet for heavy NAS-based media consumption.
