I used the Xiaomi TV Stick 4K to make my 27-inch monitor a smart TV

Key Points

Xiaomi TV Stick 4K, the Chinese smartphone makers latest smart TV accessory, is the second Mi TV stick after the company launched its maiden device in 2020..

Heres what I felt after using it for a few days...

Incidentally, this is also the first Mi TV stick with access to Xiaomis PatchWall interface that offers content from over 25 OTT apps and over 190 live channels..

Shows that are high on visuals such as the dark comedy The White Lotus, that hits the viewers with its deluge of charming shots of a plush resort in the backdrop of stunning ocean waves, or a high-octane chase through the cobbled alleyways of Ramallah in Fauda streaming via the Xiaomi TV Stick 4K was a unique audio-visual experience, indeed a good one...

My take:Most Chromecast now come with the Android 13 OS and smart TVs have moved over to Android TV 12, which makes the Xiaomi TV Stick 4K with its Android TV 11 a bit odd..
