I moved from FS 4K to Shield. I don't think that there is a major difference in any of 4K content. I do feel upscaling in Shield pro is better than rest.
Audio, yes there is significant improvement.
Xiaomi to launch Mi TV Q1 75" on 23rd March - QLED, 192 Zones, 120Hz

Can you watch DV movies downloaded from web? Mine just shows HDR 10. Maybe Dolby vision profile support.

Hi, everyone. Since the thread is too long, please post all your settings here you find most accurate. Default ones are pretty crap
I tried my best, this is for HDR10 content.
HDR movie as base
Backlight: 80-100 chose one you like
Brightness: 50-52
Contrast: 50-52
Saturation:56-59 (I use 57)
Hue:7-9 (I use 8) very important
Sharpness: 10
Temperature: Warm
Motion smoothing: off
Advanced settings, noise reduction off. Make sure other junk in this sub-settings menu is disabled as well

Nope - still running the original software. I guess the feedback from initial rollout may have been negative, hence the rollout is put on hold?
I don't think they'll ever release something.

The built in TV apps are working fine so far. I would not recommend buying an external device for the Xiaomi QLED 75" right now.
The only reason I'll think to buy FS is so that I can play FEL Dolby Vision titles
I used firestick 4k and I am currently using firestick 4k MAX connected directly to HDMI port of my Mi TV Q1 75.
Under display settings, I set the resolution to 2160p but for some reason unknown to me, it comes back to 1080p in a couple of days. So I have to manually change it to 2160p every few days. Selecting "Best" also does not set it to 2160p.

FS4K is a good device. But I found the upscaling quality slightly inferior to TVs built in app (Toshiba u79) while playing <4k videos in prime.
Only use it for Disney+hotstar which is not on my TV.
Seems like for me it'll useless then beside playing FEL title.

This has happened to me also with FS4K.
The resolution reverts back to 1080p on itself.
I think it's due to some handshake issue with hdcp protocol while the FS4K is alredy booted up, and the TV is switched on later.
Then I powered up the FS4K from the TVs usb port which solved the issue.
Now the FS4K boots up only after TV is switched on. The resolution never got changed again!
Excellent catch.

The FS4K uses very little power.
I read in CNET about FS4K being able to run on TV usb power.
But do your own research and pls don't hold me responsible if something goes wrong
The issue is I am using a Micro USB OTG Cable with Y Splitter (something like this) + USB to RJ45 LAN with fire tv stick for a stable internet connection. TV might not be able to give enough power for all this.The FS4K uses very little power.

So, I guess, I will have to live with this.
But I have a Nvidia Shield Pro for my high quality requirements.
I use firetv stick in all TVs because my wife and kid are more comfortable with it (same type of remote/navigation in all rooms) .... and they don't mind 1080.
Wifi 6 router or Wifi 5 connection can solve this issue I have streamed 80Mbps bitrate movies on wifi 5 without any lag or buffer.The issue is I am using a Micro USB OTG Cable with Y Splitter (something like this) + USB to RJ45 LAN with fire tv stick for a stable internet connection.

I moved from Firestick 4K to Nvidia Shield Pro. Way better experience and worth the investment.
Purchase the Audiolab 6000A Integrated Amplifier at a special offer price.
