Bad

• unusable, keep flickering using ViewSonice VP2780-4K HDMI 2.0 port (does get 60Hz when working?), have to use MHL port
• Bloomberg app has no closed caption, same app on FireTV has CC
• D-pad right arrow sometimes registered as down arrow
• no browser
• no battery indicator on controller (like Pixel?)
• creates WiFi Direct connection? password?
