And I’m going to run some performance benchmarks to see where it ranks on my chart.
The new VSeeBox V3 Pro Live TV Android TV Box – New Amlogic Hardware V3 Pro model itself, they have provided a Bluetooth voice remote control, a long HDMI cable, a DC 5V 2A power supply, and of course, your user manual.
So, its body is made of plastic, and I am glad to see that it is a new case design, because we have seen many manufacturers, reuse the same case over the last two years.
On the back for I/O, you get an HDMI 2.1 port, a non-gigabit Ethernet LAN port, a USB 3.0 port, another USB 2.0, a microSD card reader, an AV port and its DC input jack.
At its front has an LCD screen, and at its base has four rubber feet without ventilation holes. Thus, its first start includes the pairing of the Bluetooth remote control, once this is done, you have a first start wizard.

So back to the launcher because it works on Android TV OS, it has no navigation bar or status bar, this launcher does not have a designated Applications section and instead lists all the installed applications on the top row, however you have the option to rearrange them for easy access.

For mobile screen mirroring, it comes with the official version of Miracast and Google Assist, however, I could not get any of these to work, so I had to use the Airscreen application.
Let’s take a look at its 4K HDR AV1 video playback capability, so this is an HDR10 AV1 video, which triggers the HDR function, and plays smoothly, and this uses the built-in movie player.
Then comes a Dolby Vision video, and seeing that it has no Dolby Vision decoders, it is played as an HLG video, then comes an encoded Dolby Vision video, with Dolby Atmos audio, and it is played in HDR10 with Atmos, then comes an HDR10 Plus video, and it plays smoothly, and here is another HLG.
