The Google TV Streamer is the latest media streaming box from Google, offering 4K output over HDMI 2.1, with HDR with Dolby Vision support, and a 22% faster processor over the previous generation Chromecast. It retails for $100, and today’s sale brings it down to $79.
The Google TV Streamer launched this past September to replace the Chromecast, and in the last seven months, it has proved itself a rightful upgrade. However, the $100 price point seemed a little high at the time we reviewed it; it was clear that the Google TV Streamer would shine brighter at a lower price. Well, today is the first time the Google TV Streamer has seen a discount; it’s a limited-time deal that shaves 21% off the top, bringing the price down to $79, a much more competitive and inviting price for our favorite streaming box.

Included is 32GB of storage, handy for storing your favorite apps. There’s also a USB-C port for power (yes, USB-C hubs are supported) and an HDMI 2.1 port, as well as an Ethernet port, which is a great thing to have if you plan to stream games. You don’t want your Wi-Fi wavering during an intense battle; a hardline is always the way to go.
Just like the Chromecasts before it, the Google TV Streamer comes with a remote, which is new and improved with built-in voice controls, and there is even a customizable button that supports app and home panel shortcuts.
Speaking of the home panel, the Google TV Streamer can control your smart home, right from the TV, using the new remote. Not only is this a great way to see who is at your door when watching a movie, but you can also control your lighting and temps, all without leaving the couch or picking up your phone. Very nice.
