In a market where device prices have surged across the board, Walmart’s Onn 4K Pro Google TV earns serious attention as one of the few truly affordable streaming boxes still worth buying. Selling for around $60, it checks nearly all the essential boxes for a solid home streamer without bleeding you dry. Here’s what makes it stand out.
What You Get for $60
Software-wise, the Onn 4K Pro runs full Google TV. It delivers almost the same experience as Google’s own higher-priced streamer: the same apps, UI, and features. The main difference is performance, driven by hardware. Walmart’s box includes 3 GB of RAM, one less gigabyte than Google’s version. In everyday use—streaming shows, browsing menus—it’s hard to notice the gap.
On the design front, it’s unremarkable yet functional: a fabric-covered top, compact size, and ports that matter most. Important inclusions are full-size USB-A and Ethernet. Power has shifted from a barrel plug in the previous model to USB-C, which many users will appreciate. The remote is a highlight: more comfortable in hand, backlit buttons for night viewing, and even a remote-finder button built into the unit itself.
Room to Grow—and Limitations
There are trade-offs. That fabric top, while visually nice, doesn’t clean well when dirty or accidentally spilled on. Some users might miss premium hardware polish. Comparatively, the Google-streaming box gets quicker updates and may edge out the Pro in long-term software support. Also, finding the Onn 4K Pro in stock is often the biggest hurdle; availability varies across regions and between online listings and physical stores.
If you’d stretch your budget just a bit, Walmart also offers the Onn 4K Plus dongle for about $50. It delivers most of the same perks but drops Ethernet, USB-A, and some performance headroom. It may be enough if you’re streaming in a single room and don’t mind wireless-only connections.
Considering what many competitors now charge—recent price hikes for Apple TV, Roku Ultra, NVIDIA Shield, and even Google’s own streamer—the Onn 4K Pro looks like an oasis of value. Despite the low cost, it doesn’t sacrifice what matters for streaming: UI fluidity, useful ports, and a solid remote.
What this means: for anyone wanting a reliable, affordable Google TV streaming experience, the Onn 4K Pro is hard to beat. It won’t win on luxury or cutting-edge spiffs, but it’s a choice that gets you 90% of the value for far less money. If it’s in stock near you, it should be on your short list when shopping streamers. Keep an eye out for sales or restocks—when available, deals like this don’t come around often.
