I have several throughout my home, including a budgetChromecast HDin the family room where my kid binge-watchesBluey.

No one is going to admire a dongle.
You need a little more than that for the primary big screen in the house.
It has the Matter protocol built in.

The revamped remote is another element of this streaming package.
Im still getting used to the new placement.
Ive become well-trained to thumb the right side of the remote for the volume.
Im still unsure what to assign to it.
Theres a button for the Google Home control panel and a microphone button for voice control.
There are also buttons for Netflix and YouTube on the remote.
Im still testing it out, though I did get a chance to set it up.
The HDMI cable sticks out if you dont have a white cable like Google does in its marketing.
Ill have more to report in an upcoming review.
The new Google TV Streameris available to buy for $100.
If its out of your budget, Google still sells the$30 and $50 Chromecast dongles.
