$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.

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
you can say the same about the Amazon $40 4k firestick? Maybe we are too used to upgrading phones annually but I rather see a lower price point than a higher priced new model with marginal improvements.

anyone that has used both know why someone would choose a chromecast over a roku? I've been pretty satisfied with the roku experience across my TV's and even the Samsung Tizen but the one time I played with a chromecast it was annoying to only use my phone.

The Funko Pop 4k Chromecast at Walmart for $30 is a better deal if anyone can find one.

This is the new version that includes a remote and has a user interface on your TV screen. (Not just casting from your phone.) Like a Roku but the screens are laid out differently. I have both (been a Roku user for close to 10 years) and now prefer the CC interface. I do like the Roku remote better though.

Here is what the screens look like

I switched my 3 Rokus to Chromecast TVs. They both get the job done just fine. The only reason I changed them over was because I got them during the Netflix deal. I do like the Chromecast remote a little better and they're a wee bit snappier.

2 years ago, I have this thing.

Hook to my TV and it is very laggy. Interface is slow.

I also want to try Chromecast web browser. BUT it seems like nobody wants to support a web browser on the TV! Why?

I return the thing & went back to Roku.
Why not ?
I am using Google TV to sideload chrome, edge , Opera browser, all are working perfectly on the Google TV

It's ok if you only stream but no Kodi, no VLC on Roku.

Yes, it could be rare nowadays, no new stocks coming in. Yesterday I tried to catch some $6 2k version, I went my area 7 Walmart stores, 3 of them had 1 or more 4k version and 1 of the store had 2 2k version. BS is useless to get inventory nowadays 😝

Make a black version already & i'll buy.
Why? Can you even see it when it's plugged in?

I need one. Mine has been artifacting like crazy for the last month. Looks like glitter on all the apps and YouTube videos… Netflix start up sound is all distorted too… streams fine, but I know it's dying…

Yes. In my setup, yes.
Also white gets dirty quick.
So 2 reasons to make a black version.
