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.

This is not true. In my setup, you will see the cord. Not every tv setup is the same. White is an eye sore when every other cable is black.

Does anyone know if these streaming sticks save your apps and logins such that they are plug and play? Or are these simply to turn dumb tvs into smart tvs?

Does the newer firmware still not allowing user to use 5ghz higher band? Cause the older chromecast have this issue where it can only stream 5ghz wifi using lower band only.

Does anyone know if this will work with a captive network, like in a hotel where you have to use a webpage to join the wifi?

Kind of a no-brainer buying it from Best Buy if you stream your tv. The free month of Fubo pays for it threefold.

Does anyone have information on this working with the Plex app and H265 HDR stuff? I know my Roku does not work with certain formats and supposedly this is better.
It's hit or miss in my experience. If you stick with stuff in an mkv wrapper instead of mp4 it usually works on either chromecast or Roku.

The best device I've found for playing H265 stuff is the 2 generation old 4k roku stick. Works better than the new ones.

Yep, they save the login info. If you have multiple people setup under the login (like Netflix, Disney+ & Prime), you just select the user whose watching.

Also, it does turn a "dumb" tv/monitor that can be connected to the stick, into a "smart" tv/monitor

Everytime I've used these in hotels (the last 2-3 years), once I've connected my phone to the wifi (Samsung Note20 Ultra), the Chromecast have connected flawlessly using the hotel credentials thru my phone.

I was traveling with this for a while and it was hit-and-miss. Ended up installing a 3rd party browser which helped a lot. There is not a native browser built into them.

Do you have to reinstall it often? It stopped working for me, videos are black
No, it's working great for all TVs we have. I am using the Beta version.
