The new Google TV Streamer takes everything good about the original Chromecast and ups the ante. The wedge-shaped decoder supports 4K video with HDR, HDR10, HDR10+ and Dolby Vision, plus Dolby Digital and Atmos audio. And it goes without saying that all the major streaming services are supported here too, so your gift can be used to watch Netflix, Max, Disney+, or the newest YouTube channel you’ve subscribed to. Android TV’s interface is one of the easiest to use, and in our testing we found it to be the most level-playing TV operating system when it comes to recommending new content to watch (while others, such as Amazon’s Fire TV devices, tend to favor the parent company’s content). All of this comes with a handy remote control that makes navigating the user interface a breeze, and if the recipient ever loses their remote, they can press a button on the back of the transmitter to make it ring and be able to (hopefully ) find it.
