Budvue Compatible Hardware

To ensure the highest level of stability for your digital signage and inventory displays, we are currently expanding our hardware compatibility list.

While we continue to support existing BuzzTV(signworks), Chrome and Amazon FireStick setups, we have identified two new "Puck-style" devices that offer better performance for retail environments.

Option 1: Google TV Streamer 4K (Professional Choice)

Best for: High-traffic dispensaries requiring maximum uptime and reliability

• Enterprise-Grade Memory: Equipped with 4GB of RAM (double theFireStick 4K Max), ensuring smooth POS data syncing and inventory transitions.

• Built-in Ethernet: Provides a direct, wired internet connection for rock solid stability without needing extra adapters.

  Superior Cooling: The "set-top" design prevents the overheating issues common with stick-style devices hidden behind displays.

• Price: Approx. $99.99 USD / $129.99 CAD

Option 2: Onn 4K Pro (Best Value)

Best For: Clients seeking a cost-effective upgrade with professional

features.

• Enhanced Performance: 3GB of RAM provides a significant performance boost over standard media sticks.
• Integrated Connectivity: Includes a built-in Ethernet port and a USB port for expansion.
• Ease of Setup: Uses the standard Google Play Store for direct app downloads, simplifying the initial installation process.
• Price: Approx. $49.88 USD / ~$75.00 CAD (Walmart Exclusive)

Why we recommend these alternatives:

As retail environments become more data-intensive, the demands on media players have increased. Our testing has shown that these "Puck-style" devices offer superior background processing capabilities compared to traditional

"Stick" devices. This results in:

• Fewer app interruptions or forced home-screen returns.
• Faster refresh rates for live POS inventory updates.
• Lower long-term hardware failure rates due to better heat management.

Action Required: While you may still purchase FireStick 4K Max devices, we highly recommend the Google TV Streamer for new setups to ensure the best possible experience. If purchasing from Walmart, please ensure you select the "Pro" version of the Onn 4K for compatibility. 

If you are currently experiencing app crashes on a FireStick, or if you are opening a new location, we strongly recommend purchasing one of the devices listed above. Please contact our support team if you need help choosing the right device for your shop.
