I currently have a Chromecast, which supports 1080p only.

I recently bought a Hisense H65A6250UK TV (2019 model) and despite what you read on the Internet or in the manual, it is not fully DLNA-compliant and does not connect from mine (Huawei P30 Pro) or my partner's (Google Pixel 2 XL) phones. I do not wish to pursue this avenue any further; I have spend a lot of time online (mainly in forums) trying to diagnose it and it's not possible to solve.

I am wanting to upgrade to a 4K streamer that supports Dolby Vision (as that's what Netflix uses).

I will only use the device to cast Plex, YouTube, Plex etc. from my Android phone.

The Chromecast Ultra, at £70, is quite expensive.

I believe another option is Amazon's Fire TV Stick 4K (£50).

There are the Now TV Smart Box 4K and Roku Streaming Stick+ but neither support Dolby Vision, which means no HDR support for Netflix.

Any thoughts?
