Best device for Coreelec in 2025

Do you own a vontar x4? first I heard of it. I normally think of tox3 as a box to recommend for the best value but the vontar is a nice bit cheaper

yup had it for well over a year nowā€¦just realised earlier this week when I was trying to figure out docker that I was booting off an SD card lolā€¦wrote to emmc and it fliesā€¦
Iā€™m not Michael Saylor so I donā€™t have an 85" 8k TV or feel the need for ā€˜Dolby Digital fake sound 2025ā€™ :grimacing: :laughing:

perfect confused, most donā€™t care for DV or have external speakers so the Vontar x4 will be more than enough for most needs, thanks for sharing, Iā€™d recommend that box in the future

Is there a difference in image quality in CoreElec between the S905X2, S905X3, S905X4, S922x, and S928X processors (without considering DV)?

Iā€™m asking this because I felt like I had better image quality, especially better colors, when playing my videos with Android apps on a TV box with an S922X (and even some Realtek SoCs), rather than an S905X2 or X3.

But is it the same on CoreElec? Or does the SoC have no impact on image quality and colors?

The SOC should not affect the image quality at all. Most of them have identical hardware decoders for a codec. Think of a SOC as a lego set. Itā€™s built from many different parts that are snapped together. The hardware decoder for a specific codec is usually the same across sets.
