The headline screams: “4K” and “Android 11” but the text in the ad and the box that this unit comes in says Android 10 and 1920*1080 (HD). So which is it? The apps supplied don’t give you enough information.So it turns out that this unit does indeed run Android 11 (see photo). However, as far as 4K goes, the display cannot display that (see photo). The processor in this unit has a built in decoder for 4K and an output of 3840×2160 which would qualify for 4K except that the display on this unit only qualifies as 2.5K, as near as I can tell (see photo). This unit includes a 4K sample movie and it looks GORGEOUS even though this display can’t take full advantage. Now I’m not complaining about the performance AT ALL, but merely pointing out the discrepancies in supplied information.All that aside, although this unit is designed to be a headrest entertainment monitor, my intentions are to use it as a portable, ad-hoc monitor for when I need to test something or I may end up using this as a dedicated security system monitor in the equipment cabinet.What really makes this unit that versatile is first the fact that it runs on an only slightly customized version of a stock Android OS. On top of that it has HDMI inputs and outputs and it also has access to the Play Store. With those 3 features, the sky’s the limit on how you can put this to work.Because this is really a dedicated headrest monitor, certain things like the desktop theme are locked down by being password protected. It’s not too hard to live with although it’s kind of annoying that you can only have 4 selectable apps appear on the Home screen. Also, the theme is large, bubbly icons for the apps which takes up an enormous amount of real estate but oh well. On that account, you’re going to have to plan on a lot of scrolling to get around.The sound is good enough and everything is clear and distinct. Mirroring my phone and playing a video produces a stuttering effect because something’s not keeping up. Don’t know if it’s my phone, this unit, or the modem but it’s not intolerable. The processor used in this unit is listed as being also used in some low end name brand pc’s and such, so it’s none too powerful, even though it is a quad core.There are a lot of these types of units for sale and there are a number in this price range so I honestly can’t say this one is better or worse than any other unit. I do wish the sellers would get their ad copy straight though, so at least you can be sure of what you’re ordering.This is a very good unit and if the price and features appeal to you I’d say go for it.
