Just noticed that BestBuy matched the recent price-drop at Walmart on both models:

$20 HD model at BestBuy:
https://www.bestbuy.com/site/chro...Id=6517336

$40 4K model at BestBuy:
https://www.bestbuy.com/site/chro...Id=6425976

$20 HD model at Walmart:
https://www.walmart.com/ip/Chrome.../313510979

$40 4K model at Walmart:
https://www.walmart.com/ip/Chrome.../403830906


I'm not sure how much this is a SlickDeal, and maybe just new price... so this is more of just an FYI or heads-up than anything.

FWIW, I think the current 'sale' prices are the right/correct price for these.

I've been CCwGTV since the beginning (so I paid a lot more for my 4k model back then, lol), and while it's still my favorite streaming device (I have all the major ones but AppleTV) the only thing that kills it for me is the crap (read: lack of) storage... although this is usually glossed over by actual fanboys/fangirls, who push back (correctly and truthfully) that you can overcome the storage limitation by rigging up a Rube Goldberg device of a USB hub and a tangle of additional cords/cables.

I would pay more for a model with more/additional 'on-board' storage, but... I'm also not sure that enough people would to make it profitable for Google to do so.

If you do decide to go CCwGTV (either HD or 4K), the Reddit sub is very helpful:
https://www.reddit.com/r/CCwGTV/​ [reddit.com]

If you're a gamer, these used to be a little more useful (until the recent closure of Google Stadia), but I still use my CCwGTV device to stream+play via nVidia GeForce Now (GFN) when I'm traveling.
If you purchase something through a post on our site, Slickdeals may get a small share of the sale.

$40 was the release price for the 4k version.

I have these on the TVs mainly for mirroring the Quest 2 so everyone can play along with Among Us VR.

However keep in mind that if you use it for this purpose, ethernet is going to be your best bet. And to get ethernet on this, it takes a USB C hub WITH ethernet and WITH 20+ watt pass through charging.

This will smooth out all your streaming and casting, but it does create something of a mess behind the TV.
The processors are different. 4K runs 4x ARM Cortex-A55 @ 1.91 GHz and HD runs
4x ARM Cortex-A35 @ 1.2 GHz. 4K is faster, but that's not the whole picture. The HD's processor is newer and has AV1 codec support, which is more efficient than H265.

I've loved my Google TV since I got it. Integrates well with everything. My really old Sharp TV doesn't work with the volume controls, but again the the TV is ancient at this point.

This was basically free with the Netflix deal about 2 years ago...

obviously we don't have a time machine but just saying this $40 price point for 2+ year old technology makes no sense

I would go Best Buy for these 3 free items with the Chromecast purchase, especially 30 day Fubo TV well worth.

Free YouTube Premium for 3 months (new subscribers only)

FuboTV - Free for 30 days (new subscribers only, not billed unless activated) [Digital]

Apple - Free Apple TV+ for 3 months (new or returning subscribers only)

Make a black version already & i'll buy.
It plugs in behind the TV. You will not see it. Just use your cell as a remote.

Correct, apps use storage

I've been fine with 8gb on this and the fire stick 4k. Think you have to be a power user to hit that limit (kodi etc)

Like mine too. Not too laggy. Clear cache every once in a while and you'll be fine. Only thing is remote is tiny and slippery. get a cover for the remote to increase grip.

You can change the remote to not use CEC for volume and it'll use IR instead, should get you set. Had to do the same for an older LG for power.

Thanks! I had some credit in the Google store, and bought the 4k version from there.
