Looks like a bargain, have no idea about picture quality, but great price for an Android TV

I bought this exact model 3 weeks ago from them for £278.98.
Picture quality is good, sound is good, but the EPG is abysmal. It used Android 4.4.2, it is very fast and plays all my android games with ease.
This doesn't use Android TV, instead, you press the 'smart' button on the remote, or select this as the source. It then quickly boots up the android system. This doesn't have the disadvantage of slow channel swapping, like most android TVs, since the android system is separate.
Also note, that the android system can only access the USB's at the back of the TV, not the one at the side. It took me ages to work out why my airmouse wasn't working until I figured this out.
Am I glad I bought it - YES

When you say "used" does that mean you have updated the version of Android?

Should have read 'uses'. My fingers working quicker than my brain.

I have installed Kodi straight from the google play store without a problem. Kodi 17 (when it gets released) does require 5.1. As of today, there isn't any OTA update on this TV.
