    Good value, but slower than Apple TV

    The Google TV Streamer offers solid 4K HDR quality and great features for the price. However, I noticed some lag when navigating menus compared to the Apple TV, which feels quicker and more seamless. It’s a good budget-friendly option, but I’ll likely switch back to Apple TV for better speed and ease of use.

    The longer remote is easily the best upgrade. The response between applications is very smooth. If you're in the market to upgrade then get it, but if you already have the Chromecast then there's no rush to change.

    Great interface, dodgy remote

    I like the OS, and it's definitely snappier than the Chromecast with Google TV 4K. However, the remote's d-pad can stick from time to time, causing you to zoom past your selection, or can fail to respond. I also miss having a rechargeable remote. In contrast, the Roku has a less appealing interface, but their remotes are rechargeable and more responsive. I'd pay $50-100 more for a truly high-end Google Streamer with the same interface, a bulletproof remote, and specs to match the old but venerable NVIDIA Shield. Too bad nobody wants to make it.

      Hey there, KRSFun. Thank you for providing your insight for your Google TV Streamer (4K). We're happy that you are enjoying the OS and the improved speed. That said, here are some quick troubleshooting steps for when you feel the remote is not responsive:

      Remove both batteries from the remote.
      Reinsert them and check if the LED flashes twice.
      If the LED doesn’t flash twice, remove and reinsert the batteries within two seconds. Repeat if needed.
      If the LED still doesn’t flash twice, replace the batteries with the original ones that came with the remote. If these batteries aren't available, use two fresh 1.5-volt AAA batteries.
      Lastly, remove both batteries, wait 5 minutes, then reinsert them while checking for the LED to flash twice.

      If the problem persists, our team is always happy to help. Get in touch here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp?hl=en madebygoogle

    Good picture quality. A definite improvement over the Google TV Chromecast it replaced. It's surprisingly laggy. Which is asinine given that it has more memory & a faster processor than the older Google Chromecast TV. Consider an alternative if you have one available?

      Thanks for reaching out about your Google TV Streamer (4K), Daniel. Normally a quick reboot will solve several issues — here’s how:

      1. Unplug the power cable from the streaming device.
      2. Leave it unplugged for one minute.
      3. Insert the cable back into the streaming device.

    Highly recommend! Coming from the older Google casting/Tv products, this unit is fast! Tons of space to download apps, and the integrated Google home tab is a nice addition. Now have two of these!

    I bought it for the simple fact I have a google smart home and wanted to have access to see the cameras on the tv. I had a chrome cast before this and it’s much quicker than the cromecast

    Using this for LG TV that has limited app options (pre 2018). Android ecosystem is better in my opinion.

    Noticeably more performant than the previous Chromecast with Google TV 4k, but you still wouldn't want to use it to play video games. The addition of an ethernet port is a nice touch too.
