Google’s new Chromecast HD is already discounted to just $20

Google announced theChromecast with Google TV (HD) in late September. At $30, the streaming stick makes the right set of compromises to reach a lower price point. But if that’s still over your budget or if you think the price is on the higher side, Google is addressing that complaint…at least temporarily. The big G has discounted the 1080p Chromecast by $10 just a week after its official launch, dropping the price of one of thebest streaming devicesto only $20.

The Chromecast HD is a no-brainer at its discounted price, especially if you have an old TV in your house. It offers the same features as its 4K sibling, including a robust TV interface and voice remote with dedicated buttons for YouTube and Netflix. You miss Dolby Vision support, but the dongle will probably be used with older TVs, so it should not matter much. There’s HDR10 and HDR10+ compatibility, though. The stick supports AV1 hardware decoding, leading to substantial bandwidth savings when streaming video.
