#CHROMECAST GOOGLE TV TV#
The reason I was testing remotely was because of a sudden travel plan that also allowed me to test out the Chromecast with Google TV HD's chops as a travel-friendly streaming solution, because the range of TV stations (and broadcast quality) in my motel was absolutely terrible, but the supplied Wi-Fi wasn't. Seriously, I've never seen a less-labelled TV in my life, with no insignia, no brand on the remote control, nothing. I tested it in two locations with HD-capable TVs one Bauhn model in my home and then an essentially unknowable TV in a motel room in regional NSW. The Chromecast with Google TV HD is, as the name suggests, capable of only up to HD quality output, which does mean that it's best paired with a TV that can only stretch that far in quality terms. I don't personally love voice-controlled TV content, but it does work, with the slight catch that if you don't have a Google Assistant speaker in the same room, you've got to talk directly to the remote control. Performance: Great for enhancing old TVs – or for travel The Chromecast with Google TV HD only comes in the white "Snow" finish, so if your remote or Chromecast is even the slightest bit pink or blue, it's the 4K model. If you're thinking someone at Google's colour naming department's been sniffing too much glue again, I'd agree those are actually names for Blue, Pink or White finishes. The original Chromecast with Google TV 4K can be bought in "Sky" or "Sunrise" or "Snow" finishes. So how do you tell the newer, cheaper, HD-only Chromecast with Google TV HD from its predecessor? One way would be colour. I could see a scenario where if you had both for TVs in different rooms, it could get interesting telling them apart. The remote control that comes with the Chromecast with Google TV HD is a small white device, measuring in at 122x38x18mm at 63 grams, and it's precisely the same again as the 4K variant.
Again, this is exactly the same setup as the original 4K model. One end houses an HDMI plug, while the other has a USB-C socket to connect up to an included power supply.
The Chromecast with Google TV HD is a white puck-like dongle that measures in at 162.5圆1x12.5mm with a weight of 55g, which is exactly the same as the 4K model.
Externally, there's not a whole lot to pick between the original 4K model and this newer HD-capable variant if you're talking about the actual device.
