    I bought this unit along with the Onn Pro to be used by my elderly father. Onn had a better device registration and setup process than Google. Speed, performance, remote, and supported devices were all superior.

    This device is great if you love the google ecosystem. I enjoy the features google gives you and the simplicity. My only gripe is the remote was way better from the last generation devices when it comes to the actual structure of the remote. It was so much more premium feeling. I love that you can ask to find the remote now but the feeling of the remote is a downgreade the buttons stick and it has sharper edges and the backplate slips off way easier. I suggest the next generation google streaming device should work on a better remote. Its the thing you interact with the most with these devices why would you want to hold on to something that feels janky.

    Haven't had this long enough to rate 5 stars but it works well. If you like the original dongle style then I think you will like this. A few added features that I have yet to use but it is noticeably faster which is my biggest complaint about the dongle.

    Great streaming device. I also use Roku but thing the Google TV streamer is much more fluid device and I prefer it's OS over the Roku. Great decice for the money.

    I don't really have anything bad to say about this product. This is the second one I bought to convert two older TVs into Smart TVs. It is very responsive and the interface is basically identical to my Google TVs. I've had my first one for about 6 months and no signs of lag or anything yet. That was not true of my fire TV box so that makes me happy.

    Have been a Chromecast user for some time. Finally took the leap to move to the 4K streamer for our 4K tv. Which I would have done it sooner. The remote is better as is the sound and video. Happened to catch it on sale which was a bonus.

    So far we like the Google TV Streamer 4K . Haven't had for very long but so far we like it better than the FireTV that we were using. Better/more content and options and ability to configure Home screen than the limited (compared to this Google TV device) FireTV. So far, the only issue we have is that we were told that it will only allow one remote, whereas the FireTV allowed 2 remotes so my wife and I could both control it when needed, without throwing the single remote across to where she sits and vice versa. But I would still absolutely recommend because if they could ever resolve being able to use 2 (or more) remotes, it should be able to be handled by an auto update.

    Amazing, has integration with your google account so any owned movies or tv shows can be played right on the device. The remote can adjust the volume and turn your tv on and off.

    Google tv streamer is a great upgrade to the Chromecast 4k. It's got great storage and expandability. The best part is that this time around it has an Ethernet connection built in.

    I would have left 5 stars if the streamer was a true nvidia shield replacement. But it is missing full audio codec support to playback ripped blu ray in their full detail. Some files just won’t play properly. It is a nice device, it has plenty of video codecs available, DV HDR10+. It is speedier than last gen but the nvidia shield is still my go to. If you aren’t worried about plex file support and have a Samsung tv, the streamer is a great option for hdr10+ along with the newest Apple TV. It is nice that it runs the latest version of google tv

    Upgraded from Google TV, faster. An issue with random echoing sounds when set to Bitstream on my external speakers. Keep in mind speakers are over 15 yrs old. Probably can be fixed with an update.

    Wonderful Streaming device and solved an issue I had with my Apple TV 4K. I loved my apple streamer because I have ipads that it could communicate with. The issue is that it did not communicate well with my JBL sound bar in that I would lose sound at times and would have to go back a page or restart the apple box. I have another apple box amd JBL sound bar on another tv with same results. This does not happen with the Google TV Streamer 4K.
