    I have only used the device to play youtube video's and stuff I had stuffed on a thumb drive.
    Quality of the output seems good to the tv. The LED display is blazing bright to the point that
    the text (time) is hard to read.

    Speed of the device is fast, and if I figure a way to hook it up to my NAS it will be a nice addition
    to the basement TV.

    The big downside for now is I have not found a way to access amazon prime via a dedicated application.
    Download KODI. Then download a "build" for KODI. The build will have a bunch of what they call "add ons" These add ons are basically apps that access content to stream. There will most likely be an amazon prime add on available. Kodi and the add ons are a rabbit hole though. Here is the Kodi main site. Then just google Kodi Builds and away you go! It's free and the webistes for builds typically have great walk through instructions on how to do stuff.

    YOU are the first responder. Police, fire and medical are SECOND responders.
    When seconds count, the police are mere minutes away...

    Google says: It looks like there aren't many great matches for your search

    Kodi is good stuff; but - side loading something that is not mainstream going to be an issue.

    So, more google searches indicated that a raspberry pi might work - so going to check out a few PI 4 I have and see if it can be used.

    Amazon. Ones on the left are extra thick 40 grit (10). Ones on the right are 40-120 grit (20) with a kind of beveled profile.
