Is the Google TV Streamer (4K) worth a gamers money?

Is the new Google TV Streamer (4K) worth the $99.99 price tag? Let’s check the specs and find out why this Google Home device may or may not be worth your time and your dime as a gamer!

Hey there, tech enthusiasts! It’s your girl Sophima, bringing you the latest scoop on tech with the Google TV Streamer (4K). So, is this sleek little streaming gadget worth your hard-earned cash? Let’s dive into the specs and see if its worth more than a glance.

First off, let’s talk about the design. The Google TV Streamer (4K) is cute! With its compact dimensions of 6.4 x 3 x 1 inches and a weight of just 5.7 ounces, it’s a perfect fit for any entertainment setup. Available in chic colors like Hazel and Porcelain, it blends seamlessly with your decor. Plus, it’s made with at least 65% recycled plastic, so you can feel good about your eco-friendly choice.

Now, onto the specs. This device supports up to 4K HDR at 60 frames per second, delivering stunning visuals with Dolby Vision, HDR10, HDR10+, and HLG. The audio experience is equally impressive with Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, and Dolby Atmos support. With 32GB of storage and a 22% faster processor than its predecessor, you can enjoy smooth navigation and quick app switching.

Connectivity? Check! The Google TV Streamer (4K) comes with Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Bluetooth 5.1, and an Ethernet port for uninterrupted streaming. It also features USB-C and HDMI 2.1 ports. The cable is not included, so if you don't have one just add it to your cart to enjoy the 4K visuals of this device. And let’s not forget the smart home integration with Matter and Thread support, making it easier than ever to control your smart devices right from your TV.

Just so you know, this device can also play Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, but it requires a bit of setup since there isn't an official Xbox Game Pass app for Google Play Store for Gogole TV. This isn't the desired route for anyone who isn't comfortable going off of the beaten path, so stick with what Google has to offer if you're uncomfy with this. On the otherhand, you have options like the Amazon Fire Stick 4K Max for nearly half the price at $59.99, and that has Xbox Game Pass at the ready + Luna Gaming! Add an Xbox controller to the party, and you're gaming with the Fire Stick for a combined price similar to Google's TV Streamer. I get that their focus revolves around the Google Home ecosystem, but there's a little gamer in all of us, so at least present what's available for our enjoyment!

So, what do you think? Is the Google TV Streamer (4K) worth the $99.99 price tag or did they miss the mark? That's all I have for now, but make sure to high five someone's grandparent, don’t forget to bookmark SDGT Entertainment for more. And as always, don’t forget to… game on!
