If you can’t afford a new TV this year, you can make an old set feel new again with a streaming device. Our favorite streaming device is now on sale for Black Friday: You can grab a Google TV 4K for just $75, the lowest price we’ve seen so far.

It also has more storage and memory, at 32GB and 4GB, respectively. Google TV Streamer has an intuitive interface and keeps all your favorite content from different streaming apps organized in one menu. It also integrates with Google Home, allowing you to control your smart home devices from a slideout panel on the TV.
The 4K Streaser comes in a set-top wedge design, rather than the dongle of previous chromecasts, but you’ll have to pick up an HDMI cable separately if you don’t already have one to use. It comes with a small remote that you can push by pressing a button on the radio where you place it.
In her review of the device, Engadget’s Amy Skorheim called Google TV “a fully-featured, capable device with a much better interface that pulls all the different threads of the streaming experience.” One of its only downsides is the high cost of $100, so don’t let this story go to waste.
In addition to the streaming device, Google has a number of other technologies on sale on Black Friday. The Nest thermostat is on sale for $85 right now, and the Nest Wi-Fi 6e Router is down to $120 for one package; That’s 40 percent closed.
