Platform-agnostic outlet FlatpanelsHD recently took the OG CCwGTV4K running the newly released ATV12 for a spin and surprisingly enough, they absolutely nailed it.
I won't sugar coat it; it's not pretty to look at. Here's their conclusion:
"Google's new feature is disappointing and we fear that it will take years to get all of the major streaming services onboard. As a result, we still recommend Apple TV 4K if you want proper video playback without judder across streaming apps."
Android TV management is utterly inept. Say what you will about Phil Harrison, but ATVs head of division is doing even better at sabotaging an entire platform.
Let it sink for a moment: Google's tv-streaming-centric, ad-filled OS that's on its SEVENTH major iteration is still not competent at properly streaming content on a tv.
YIKES.
I'm a bit of a fanboy, so it stings. =S
