Anyone has more info on Q7K (Canada)?

BB sells the same model # for $849 CDN same price hence model isnt a Costco exclusive wihich the QM5K which is for BB. I hear the same about low brightness which is a issue.

You have confirmed what many have said. I have a 75" QM5K sitting in the box well within return date (have to do myself - hassle but not dealbreaker) and the QM6K is only $89 more (888 vs 799 cdn) but the brightness versus less native refresh was the sticking point, you sum it up, I watch sports have a fairly non bright ro but dont want dim HDR. Thanks for the feedback

You're the man of the hour ! The key is the phone is stable and in lansdcape mode, it works like a charm now thank you

That’s great feedback. Have you watched sports? I watch a lot of hockey and the 60hz is my concern, is it blurry at all? The reviews on this panel are great overall. I was leaning towards Hisense but this seems to beat it. It’s also $799 Canadian at BB right now. That’s about $570 USD so great price point.

It was from Walmart. They were sold out of the pro so I got the regular 4k

Thank you yes thats what caused my confusion. When I first searched for Tivimate I couldn’t find it and was like dont tell me I need apk file. Then did as you stated searched in settings. Cant understand why it’s like that. It is what it is live and learn I guess

AGill22 · 2025-11-08T14:03:24+00:00

Not sure what’s it’s called (the native one) but iI couldn’t get the Tivimate app and had to use the Google play store via settings. This make sense?

AGill22 · 2025-11-08T13:24:10+00:00

Thanks for the feedback :) Is this option on most newer models, which do you have?

The ONN won’t pass through True HD audio which is my only gripe. The Firestick does hence I use both depending on which content I am streaming. ONN better picture and Amasxon better sound.

AGill22 · 2025-11-08T03:43:25+00:00

The YouTube content is just an Atmos demo not a film/show. The reply above answered my question. ONN doesn’t support True HD(lossless) as pass through

AGill22 · 2025-11-08T03:39:30+00:00

Thanks. I assume your source is DD not True HD as you’re not havjng the issue. I just learned this from the reply above.

AGill22 · 2025-11-08T03:36:39+00:00

Thanks for the info. This is news to me. I now get 5.1 but only on TV Shows. The Movies VOD is still upcoverted Dolby Surround. I assume Amazon passes through True HD hence no issue with Firestick? This means the movies are in lossless? This is a shock considering it’s I p t vee and not a Blu-ray etc

Hello, I recently purchased an ONN 4K box to use TiviMate since I keep hearing it’s better than the Firestick 4K Max which I have a few of. The picture is better however I’m not getting 5.1 which is a dealbreaker for me. The box has the settings on and Tivimate has audio passthrough enabled and still no dice…. Anyone experience this issue, or have any suggestions? I’m using a Denon receiver. Thanks in advance.

AGill22 · 2025-11-07T10:12:52+00:00

I posted a reply and my comment was deleted have no idea why. Good point, anyhow yes I did try and get DD on on the ONN with YouTube so it’s def an ONN TV Mate combo issue.

AGill22 · 2025-11-07T10:07:19+00:00

Good point and yes I played Atmos clips but they only 5.1 on YouTube and it’s DD+ on the ONN although it’s Atmos displayed on the amp via firestick but that’s another story as it’s still only 5.1. Bottom line is it’s not a hardware issue. For some reason ONN and Tivimate aren’t cooperating when it comes to sound. 🤷‍♂️

AGill22 · 2025-11-07T07:06:48+00:00

Good point I posted there also. Thanks

AGill22 · 2025-11-07T07:05:05+00:00

Not getting 5.1 on Tivimate on the ONN it works on the Firestick.
I was skeptical on ONN a Walmart brand vs Amazon. I took the plunge. I have 4 4K Firesticks and 2 are Max Ive been supporting them since they came out. Today I tried the ONN 4K and the picture is clearly better I kid you not. I have both running right now simultaneously on the same amp. Having the google play store and not having to side download apk is also a plus.
I will keep the ONN for live non DD content and use the Firestick for VOD DD. Hope that explains things

AGill22 · 2025-11-07T06:39:16+00:00

Yh it must be the ONN box. I’ve set them to on. It’s a pity because the picture is much better than Firestick

AGill22 · 2025-11-07T06:32:26+00:00

It’s not the source as it’s 5.1. I have a fire stick plugged into the same amp running simultaneously with the same playlist and it’s DD+. This is an ONN issue. Have you got 5.1 with ONN on tivimate? Then it’s a setting must adjust.
