The emergence of "smart" TVs was a revolutionary step in the development of the most popular mass media. However, the high cost of such models makes them inaccessible to consumers with low incomes, which has prompted both users and manufacturers to seek ways to transform ordinary TV models into more functional ones. This is how smart boxes appeared, allowing for a significant expansion of the capabilities of standard televisions by enabling their interaction with the internet.

 Which model is better?

The modern market offers consumers a huge selection of smart boxes. Most of them are made based on dual-core, quad-core, or octa-core Rockchip processors. There are also models with Amlogic. Therefore, when choosing a smart set-top box for yourself, you need to clearly understand what capabilities it will provide to your TV.

To view images in HD 720p format, a smart box with a dual-core processor is sufficient. If you are interested in a wider range of functions, including 3D games, a set-top box with a quad-core processor is required. Those who plan to watch 4K video should pay attention to models based on octa-core processors: Rockchip RK3368 or Amlogic S905.
