The Chromecast is dead, but in its place, Google finally has a set top streaming box to rival the Apple TV. It's not quite as portable as its predecessor, but for less than $100 this Prime Day, the Google TV Streamer 4K is worth picking up.

With its bigger form factor and new processor comes a few perks, including 32GB of storage space (so you can put more apps on it), 4GB of memory, an ethernet port for a wired connection, and probably most important, the ability to stream 4K HDR content at up to 60 fps. Plus, like on the higher end Chromecasts before it, it supports Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. The controller even has voice controller, and can ring when lost.

Plus, the Google TV experience has been expanded a bit. The Streamer 4K can connect to your Google Home devices, meaning you can watch your video doorbell or adjust your Nest thermostat from your couch. And, if you own a pair of Pixel Buds 2 Pro, you can listen to your shows, movies, and music with personalized spatial audio.

What do you think so far?

In his review of the Google TV Streamer 4K for Lifehacker, writer Brent Rose called it "excellent," saying it's "a lot faster and smoother throughout the whole experience." Sure, you'll need to find room for it on your entertainment console, but your TV also won't have a weird lump sticking out of it like it did with a Chromecast.

Looking for something else? Retailers like Walmart, Best Buy, and Home Depot have Prime Day competition sales that are especially useful if you don’t have Amazon Prime.

  • Walmart’s Prime Day competition sale begins at midnight on July 8 and will include deals up to 50% off. It’s an especially good option if you have Walmart+. 

  • Best Buy’s Prime Day competition sale, “Black Friday in July,” runs through Sunday, July 13 and has some of the best tech sales online. It’s an especially good option if you’re a My Best Buy “Plus” or “Total” member.

  • Home Depot extended its 4th of July sale through at least July 9, competing with some amazing deals of its own. It’s an especially good option if you’re looking for power tools, appliances, or outdoor equipment.
