GOOGLE CHROMECAST 4K WITH GOOGLE TV
The Chromecast with Google TV makes any TV smart, and the Google Assistant makes it even smarter. All you need to get started with Chromecast is an HDMI input and an internet connection. The Google Assistant works on Chromecast and does all the things it does on all the other devices… but when you use the Google Assistant with Google TV, it’s SO EASY to browse and discover content! The Google Assistant can help you search by genre, year, or actor – and you can even control your content by asking the Google Assistant to play, pause, turn up the volume, etc. Chromecast now comes with a remote as well, for those moments when you want navigation options beyond voice control or using your phone as a remote.
