If you’re in the market for a new streaming player, the Chromecast with Google TV (HD) is down to just $19.99 when purchasing through the Google Store, Amazon and Best Buy. At this price, buyers are saving $10 compared to the normal $29.99 cost.
Powered by Google TV, the HD version looks and works very similar to the Chromecast with Google TV (4K) model. Even though it doesn’t support 4K playback, we think the HD model offers very good value overall, and is one of the better options for those looking for an affordable and easy to use streaming player.
If 4K support really matters, and you don’t want to pay an additional $30 for the Chromecast with Google TV (4K), the Onn Google TV 4K Streaming Box also costs $20 and does support 4K playback. However, we would still recommend the Chromecast with Google TV (HD) over the Onn Google TV 4K Streaming Box at this price point.
One of the other major differences between the HD and 4K Chromecast models is the choice of color. While the 4K version can be picked up in either Sky, Sunrise or Snow, the HD version is only available to purchase in Snow (white), so that might be something to keep in mind if you are particular about the color.
If the color is not an issue, however, we think the Chromecast with Google TV (HD) for $19.99 is a great buy, and one of the better streaming player deals around right now.
