Google's 4K TV Streamer is down to its lowest-ever price
SAVE $20: As of April 22, the Google TV Streamer 4K is available for $79 at Amazon. That’s $20 off its regular $99.99 price and the lowest price across seven major retailers.
I’ve tested my fair share of streaming sticks, dongles, boxes, and whatever other shape they come in. But Google’s TV Streamer 4K? Is arguably the best. Right now, it’s going for just $79 on Amazon, and that’s the best deal you’ll find across all the usual suspects.
This tiny porcelain box delivers fast, customizable streaming with support for 4K HDR, Dolby Vision, and even Dolby Atmos audio if you’ve got the right speakers. Basically, it turns whatever sad TV you’ve been putting up with into something you might actually enjoy watching. And it does it fast. The new processor is 22% quicker than the old model and it’s got double the memory, so it’s not going to freeze when you try to load Netflix and YouTube back to back.
I think what makes it feel smarter than other streamers is how well it integrates your subscriptions and preferences. It pulls in live TV, on-demand apps, and even over 800 free channels, and then lines everything up on a home screen that doesn’t look like a chaotic ad wall. You get recommendations tailored to your taste, not just whatever the algorithm thinks will go viral.
The remote deserves some love too. It’s got voice search, a customizable button, and a way to make the remote ring when it disappears into the couch cushions. If you’ve ever wasted ten minutes digging through throw pillows, you’ll understand why that matters.
