The pursuit of processor performance and RAM has temporarily ceased. Expect new trends in improving sound quality and displaying images on the screen.

UGOOS AM6 Plus: the miracle of the beast
I am glad that the manufacturer once again offers its creation in a metal case. This is a guarantee of decent cooling of all heating components. When disassembling the console, it turned out that the powerful chip is provided with a very overall radiator. Moreover, the metal plate lies exactly on the chipset and network cards. The radiator is removable. Fans of "picking iron" will appreciate it. You can change the thermal grease and clean.
Pleasant moments with the external review of the console did not end. Included is a noName HDMI cable. In most consoles, the cable is the cause of all problems with artifacts on the TV screen. But UGOOS surprised. Suppose that the cable is without identification marks, but it works perfectly. This makes me happy.
But the remote control is standard. To control the console, it will do. But enjoy the impeccability in working with multimedia will not work. Imperfection. Fortunately, there are dozens on the market interesting applicationsable to satisfy the user.
The UGOOS interface always delights users. Shutter, navigation bar, convenient menus. Everything is aimed at ease of use. Fine-tuning the gadget is easy and does not require knowledge of modern technology. Unless the network control panel raises questions. But this is more about server administration (Samba, NAS). Forums help in solving problems. On the w4bsit6-dns.com portal, experts will help you quickly configure the TV-Box UGOOS AM922 Plus SXNUMXX-J.
Sound Quality Above All
UGOOS positions its brainchild as a player for displaying multimedia in the best quality. The picture is clear - 4K, HDR, 60 Hertz. But the sound has always been a stumbling block for the owners of modern home theaters. Having software decoders is good. But you always want to make the most of all the features of AV receivers or AV processors. And the TV-Box UGOOS AM6 Plus S922X-J gives the user the desired result. DOLBY VISION and ATMOS are supported at the hardware level. Accordingly, Dolby Digital +, 5.1, 7.1, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD HI RES, DTS - everything works without software intervention.
The TV box pleases with support for 4K 60 FPS video from various network sources. Favorite You Tube, IPTV, Torrents - no friezes or braking. There is no point in talking about toys in the review. A powerful chip with excellent cooling draws any application. It is unlikely that before the end of 2020 there will be a resource-intensive game that can cause braking of the console.
