    I wanted to like it, I really did. I have a connected google household, and I thought this would fit right in. I did like that you can see all of your devices on the screen, that was pretty cool. The setup was pretty easy. However, I don't like the UI compared to the roku ultra. I like the app/tile setup better on the roku. The google streamer has all of the tiles listed horizontally. You have to keep scrolling right to get to the tile you want. It's alot easier to scroll down with the vertical and horizontal 4x4 tiles on roku. Oh, and there is the video quality which was a deal breaker for me. I turned on "Reacher" The show broadcasts in hdr10+. The show looks glorious on my 85 inch sammy. I started to notice every 5 or 6 seconds that the video would look like slow motion for a second or 2 and then it would be normal again. This happened again and again. I had it hooked up via ethernet so no problems with my internet speed. I next tried a movie, "Kraven the hunter". The same thing started happening again. That was enough for me. I am returning this. I know that the google streamer, and the roku ultra have different brand chips in them. Maybe this is the reason that the google product doesn't stream smoothly. All I know is I hooked up the roku again, and I have flawless smooth video again. Maybe there are still some kinks to work out with this streamer as it is only a few months old. Maybe I will give this a try again in a year or 2.

    Does what it's supposed to do overall so no real issues there. Some apps work better than others but that's not really a fault of the device. Easy to set up as well.

    JKC's Google TV Streamer Review

    I own four of the Chromecast w/ Google TV (4K) and decided to give the Google TV Streamer (4K) a try. I am definitely not disappointed. The wired ethernet connection is what sold me as I had several issues with the Wi-Fi staying connected on the old units. This new unit is much faster and has more storage space. Looks like I will be updating the three older ones soon.

    I absolutely love the new Google TV streamer! I upgraded from the older Google TV box, and the difference is night and day. The new device is noticeably faster, making browsing and streaming a smoother experience. Plus, the updated Google Home integration is a great addition—it makes controlling my TV with voice commands so much more seamless. Highly recommend this upgrade!

    works as intended! i needed a streamer for my tv since chromecast no longer works as intended (google says it does, but it doesn't - planned obsolescence and what have you). all my apps slowed down, would buffer and freeze, or crash all together. ALL my subscribed streaming services became unwatchable. so i bought the new google streaming solution - this tv streamer which is way more expensive than the chromecast - and wouldn't you know it, now all my streaming apps work again.

    A little steep in price for what it is, especially considering it has ads. However, the ease of use is great. The seamless adaptation between all my devices is great. I like that I can control my Google home from the tv. I have a Samsung TV and I didn't want to connect it to the internet or use Tizen so here we are.

    My previous generation google tv died just under four years (able to exchange under four year protection plan I bought). The new one does feel faster than the last and very happy with it. The remotes are very light and slippery so you kind of have to buy a sleeve for it on amazon, but no big deal.
