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.

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.
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)
Not necessarily. Some apps have very inefficient data caching. My YouTube app once had over 600MB in user cache because my brother was staying with me and we'd switch between Google accounts.
The Hulu app was also very bad at this on Android TV which is one of the technical reasons I cancelled my subscription.
Of course, you can clear app data to free up space but I'd argue that most users wouldn't even know what that means

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