There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
We both have 4K TVs - I have the 65" 2021 LG C1 OLED TV, and he has a 65" Samsung (no idea which model). We both do a lot of streaming, and the Cube excels at 4K UHD content, with more and more of it appearing every month. NOTE: proper HDMI 2.2 cables are critical!
Netflix seems to stream more 4K UHD content than anyone else, but Disney+, HBO Max, Apple TV+, Amazon Prime, YouTube Premium, Paramount+ (all of which I subscribe to) are beginning to catch up. I also have a satellite feed for network TV, sports, national and local news.
I can't comment on the Alexa or voice recognition features of the Cube, primarily because I don't use them. I'm old AND old school, and I flat refuse to talk to inanimate objects; including cars! I talk to our dog, our cats, my girlfriend/life partner and our friends and neighbors. Most LIVING things I can relate to. NON-living things; not so much.
One thing I will comment on , though, is the new Cube remote control; it's GREAT! The original, old remote was/is a bit unpredictable at times, and the symbols on ALL the buttons wore off after a few short months. The new remote is rock solid, and after MORE than a few months, ALL the buttons still look pristine! It's a very simple remote to memorize, which doesn't take long at all, and to me, that's it's best virtue!
One thing I dispise, though, is the Cube's sleep functionality. Specifically, there's no way to DISABLE it; at least that I can find in the various menus. I have and use an Amazon Photos account (I'm a photographer) as my Screen Saver to display my photos (as a playlist) That works great on a computer and cell phone, but after a relatively short period of time on the Cube, it puts itself to sleep, and there's NO WAY to disable that #×$%€£& functionality!!
WHY do I hate that feature so much? When we have friends over, rather than watching a show or movie, and so we can talk without interruption, I like to start up the Screen Saver so I can display my latest photos for them to view. The downside is I have to manually scroll forward or backward periodically to prevent the Cube from putting itself to sleep, and I HATE having to do that!!
That is THE most brain-dead feature I've ever come across! Whoever the developer is who came up with that feature should be FIRED! WHY do I have to do ANYTHING to keep displaying photos from my AMAZON PHOTOS ACCOUNT on my AMAZON FIRE TV CUBE?!? Why are those two things so obviously incompatable with each other?!?
I don't have to do ANYTHING when I'm watching a movie or a documentary! Why does the Cube treat displaing photos as just wasting electricity and put itself to SLEEP!?! It's infuriating!
What I've had to revert to is to install and set up a Plex server on my photo editing computer, install the Plex app on the Cube, create a Plex playlist of the photos I want to stream, run the Plex app on the Cube and select the Plex photos playlist so I can stream the EXACT SAME PHOTOS that are in my AMAZON PHOTOS ACCOUNT thru the Cube to my TV.
Doing THAT is apparently is okay with the Cube's sleep function and it DOESN'T consider that to be wasting electicity and it DOESN'T put itself to sleep!?! Seriously?!? YES! SERIOUSLY!
WHY DO I HAVE TO JUMP THROUGH ANY HOOPS AT ALL TO DISPLAY PHOTOS FROM MY AMAZON PHOTOS ACCOUNT ON MY AMAZON FIRE TV CUBE?!?! WHY CAN'T I DISABLE SLEEP MODE IN MY AMAZON FIRE TV CUBE?!? IS IT MY CUBE OR NOT?!? IS IT MY ELECTRICTY TO WASTE OR NOT!?! Explain THAT one to me in logical terms! Photos are PHOTOS! Why should it matter WHERE or WHAT app they come from?!?
ANYWAY, aside from the Cube's brain-dead sleep functionality, I REALLY like the VERY high quality video it feeds my OLED TV! It is superb and as good as anything I've ever seen! I also have the latest version of the Roku Ultra (also purchased on Amazon), but I rarely use it anymore. Why?
Well, the Roku user interface just seems very clunky, in a Windows 1.0 kind of way, if anyone out there in TV land can relate to that analogy. It's just not as elegant or as intuitive as the Cube's GUI (Grapical User Interface), which is VERY elegant, VERY modern, and HIGHLY intuitive! I'm sure all that is purely subjective, though.
And that's how I see the Cube. If you're not a photographer or you don't have an Amazon Photo account and/or you have no interest in streaming photos from your Amazon Photo account directly to your Cube via its built-in Screen Saver, just ignore what I wrote about the Cube's brain-dead sleep function. Everything else I wrote about the Cube is the honest truth!
It's GREAT for streaming 4K UHD movies and ANY other form of video content! It's also a bargain! HIGHLY recommended!
Set Up Experience: Set up was very easy despite our varied sources. Prime Video, Netflix, Plex, Disney+, not to mention our cable provider (we still haven't cut the cord yet), Curiosity Stream, and others. We picked our apps, which we were able to authorize mostly with links instead of having to remember / enter a password, set up child safety (more on that later), and proceeded to stream our first movie with about 15 minutes.
Voice Interaction: Alexa, as usual, just worked with some standard commands, but also recognized natural language when selecting items on screen and navigating without the remote control. She even recognizes our 5 year old that still has some challenges with the letter 'R'. The microphones are very sensitive and work very well even picking up our commands from nearby rooms (we do have several devices in the house). Having a single voice assistant that can control the entertainment, lighting, thermostat, and confirm that the garage door is closed, is really nice. Not to mention asking about weather, news, etc.
Streaming Quality: I'm no video / pixel-phile, but I was very happy with the quality of the streams and the responsiveness. It appears that it is all on par with AppleTV and Roku, both of which I have running on different TVs, though the AppleTV in now another monitor input next to my computer.
Regular Use: We ended up backing out the child safety, as it required a PIN for just about everything, precluding our little guy from being able to "Watch Encanto on Disney+" as an example, but with at least one of us always being in close proximity to him, we're not worried about him getting into content he shouldn't be. Again, though in regards to using the Cube, it just works. We have the occasional time that someone is trying to get alexa to do something, someone else comes into the room and says the command and it works, but other than that, I'd say interaction in regular use is 4.5/5, including "Alexa, play the Encanto soundtrack."
All around, I'm really happy with the purchase and the Prime Day discount, but even at full price, it would have been worth picking up, for the sheer convenience of it. Being able to watch interact and be entertained without the need a of a remote control is pretty awesome. Star Trek like. ;)
I hope this has helped someone make a decision as to whether the purchase is worth it or not.
