Great review, but NO mention of the VC-1 video codec........

Hi guys

-probably "VONTAR" is producer this Brand>> HK1 X4

and mine is 4/32 version with "1000 LAN" (with yellow col.Box edge)
because as same model has it 100 LAN too(with Grey col.Box edge)

-seems that internet speed is very high and stable
I'v tested both Ethernet&5GHz (not tested 2.4GHz)
but my internet package covered 100Mb only!

-Device very cool,no heat issue(but not tested with Gaming!)

-@Clarkss;I'v many VC-1 contents and its OK to play it and before these boxes (HK1 X4&Tanix X4) no any other Box(AMLogic)
to play my VC-1 files!

-This HK1 box seems one of the very fast&stable+very good firmware etc., then other AML 905X4 boxes

Note;I'v A95X F4 too;it get me crazy right now!

above review by ""TV Box Stop"" this model with grey-edge type with 100-LAN !!

Testing HK1 X4 4 / 32
Same with yellow col on edge of ** SoapDish
** Member from 4pda best described as
Ha Ha

Took the Box apart
Top side PCB is Marked
HK1_S905X4_4Bit_V11
2019-11-05

Sticker on underside of PCB Reads as
X4 4+32+5235F
D1230

Ethernet
RTL 8211F

Wifi bcmsdh_sdmmc
HK 5235F

2.4 freq wifi was unstable
Signal kept fading good to excellent
5.0 all good
Ethernet good
Blutooth good

I like the System Bars
Also that you can Hide them
Like Task Killer ( paint Brush)
Very Fast
Very smooth

Help Button on Remote
Is shortcut to System Settings
Will overlay/display even during Video Play Back
Can be handy for changing Audio/Video/Display settings
Also for Hiding Systm Bars

Box is Good to Very Good!!!

I have Firmware for Vontar and Transspeed X4
Would Like to Test to see differences
However Need Factory Stock Image for
HK1 X4 before messing with anything

More Testing

Happy Testing

Developer Options /More Settings
Thx For That

Can adjust contrast etc..
What about Picture Mode
Standard
Vivid
Soft
Sport
Movie
User

I dont think that Function Works?
What is Key Stone Correction?

Need to add these Settings to Main interface / or anywhere
Problems with Power Down
Box does not Shut Down all the way
Add Power Key Definition
Shutdown
Sleep
Etc...

I can not get the Gallery App to work either
Wallpaper can view images
Nova Player can view images
VLC player can view images

Same with screensaver

As posted these are not important features
Do not affect Box other Functions

Not sure about SU Binary for Root
Titanium Backup wont work properly

More Testing

Happy Testing

[bergamesk]

at least this box need one OTA update to fix these bugs/or proper worked some of functions as well

++

"Gallery" what is this! its not play to view anything! Note;I recommend; "TV PHOTO" paid version(y can find it on GPStore)

"Screensaver" not work properly too
++
