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.

$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 bought one of these a little less than two years ago and the remote stopped working about two months ago. 18 months of daily use isn't bad for 50 bucks(40 yay!). 4k android TV responds way faster than roku, TV apps, or fire sticks for me. I have only had to reset/restart(read: unplug) the device a handful of times in two years, which I would say is several orders of magnitude more reliable than its peer devices.

Yes. In my setup, yes.
Also white gets dirty quick.
So 2 reasons to make a black version.
I kind of felt the same about the remote. I mostly solved the issue with a remote cover I bought on Amazon for like $4.

Is the 1080p one snappy, or? It would be used with a 720p 32incher that has an incredibly slow (basically unusable) Roku interface.

So disappointed with my 4k Chromecast. I had the original Chromecast and it was flawless, as was the one that replaced it, but this my 3rd device just isn't. It crashes all the time and I'm really not a fan of the home screen ads.
Turning on "App only mode" helps

Quote from barkboy :
How is the Chromecast/ google TV for apps like YouTubeTv kodi netflix?

I have a regular chromecast but hate it for the kids room b/c I have to use my phone to cast and as a remote.

Can I just load apps like YouTubeTv Netflix etc and let the kids run off of it?

Thanks
Quote from wpc :
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.
Quote from techno99 :
Any reason to buy the 4K Chromecast over the HD Chromecast if you don't have a 4K TV?
Quote from ChadW :
Is this better than a Roku in any way? We have 3 tvs all with Rokus and the only thing I hate about the Roku is that sometimes the remote stops connecting.
The nice thing about this Chromecast version is that you can install SmartTube on it to watch Youtube without any ads. You can go further by installing Buttton Remapper to remap the Youtube button to open SmartTube instead of Youtube. Walmart's Onn 4K Android does not allow button remapping.
Turning on "App only mode" makes the home screen clean and increases the speed quite a bit

I personally haven't had to (had it running for at least a year or more) and they get updates all the time.
