As much as I love watching content and playing games on my LG OLED, I groan every time I have to use its built-in software. After years of tolerating its limitations and sluggish interface, I finally had enough and recently picked up a Google TV Streamer and I couldn’t be happier. If you’re facing similar problems with your smart TV, then I’d strongly recommend making a similar move and you can now do so with a discount to boot.
Over on Amazon US, you can pick up Google TV Streamer (4K) for $79 down 21% ($20.99) from its usual list price. Not only does this mark the lowest ever price for the device on the storefront, but it’s actually cheaper here than it is on Google’s own store.
Google TV Streamer is an evolution of Chromecast dongles and serves the same purpose but in a new design, in addition to faster specifications. For those unfamiliar with the ecosystem, the little white box connects to your television via HDMI and serves as a hub for streaming applications.
Running the Google TV operating system out of the box, much of its appeal lies in its rich library of Android apps that can be difficult to find elsewhere like on my LG OLED. It also provides a means with controlling your Google Home at the press of a button, whether you need to dim the lights for movie night or tune the thermostat for supreme cosy viewing.
Browsing your streaming libraries, be it from Netflix, Plex, or elsewhere, is buttery-smooth thanks to its nippy SoC. There’s ample room for applications too as Google TV Streamer sports 32GB of storage. For those with an ear and eye for quality, you can kick back, relax, and enjoy Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision content fuss-free.
