The new Chromecast 2020 with Google TV costs just £60 in the UK yet
offers 4K HDR streaming support for a huge selection of services, making
it one of the best options for movie fans.
Here's a setup and early
review of the Google Chromecast, so you know if this dinky pink box is a
worthy alternative to the Amazon Fire TV Stick, Nvidia Shield and Roku
streamers.
Google TV is based heavily off Android TV, although now with greater
emphasis on search. You can hunt for specific genres or whatever across a
variety of services inc Netflix, Disney Plus, Prime Video and BBC using
your voice.
The Google Assistant does a decent job of finding what you
need.
The Chromecast 2020 does omit support for Stadia, which is a little
strange and annoying for game streaming fans. Still, you've got 4K Ultra
HD support, plus HDR10+ and Dolby Vision. Dolby Atmos is also supported
on the audio side. And while it's not fully featured, this is still one
of my favourite TV streaming choices under £100.
Stay tuned for a review of the Roku Streambar, and you can see my
