The Chromecast With Google TV ($49.99) is one of our favorite media streamers, offering 4K HDR streaming and plenty of powerful features for less than $50. You don’t need a 4K media hub if your TV isn’t 4K, though, which is why Google also offers the Chromecast With Google TV (HD). The HD version costs just $29.99 and offers all the same functionality as the 4K model, including HDR10 support, Google Assistant, Google Cast, and a remote that can control your TV. In fact, the only differences between the two are a 1080p resolution and the lack of Dolby Vision—both of which are no loss if used with older TVs. The Chromecast With Google TV (4K) is still a top pick for your 4K TV, but the HD version is an ideal way to keep olders TVs connected, making it our Editors’ Choice winner for HD media streamers.Identical Twins Only available in white, the Chromecast HD is identical to the Chromecast 4K model.

The Chromecast With Google TV (HD) brings a wealth of streaming services and Google Assistant voice control to 1080p TVs for just $30.

Loads of apps and services on Google TV; Google Assistant; Google Cast; Remote with TV volume control

Limited to 1080p; No Dolby Vision

Now with the built in apps an the remote you no longer have to fumble around to cast shows from your phone. Setup was easy, though as always logging in to all your streaming services can be a chore, depending on what mechanisms they support. The big ones, Netflix, Disney etc all have quick login methods now using QR codes etc. - but the locals, TVNZ, TV3, Neon etc. you have to laboriously type your password in on the onscreen keyboard. None of that is the devices fault though so 5/5 from me! One note is you MUST use the provided power block, not your TV's built in USB - which I guess is just a required watts issue.

I replaced a much older Chromecast with this newer version with Google TV - easier to set up, more features and really gives a smart tv experience on a much dumber flat screen. Highly recommend.

Great very easy to connect and easy to follow instructions I was set up in no time

Well I dont know how to connect it and every time I try I fail. I know these nothing wrong with the chrome I just cant content it any suggestions

A much better improved version of Chromecast Would recommend

Love the upgraded Chromecaster , the remote particularly. Once we set up all the relevant Apps, its a breeze to use. Would recommend .
