Here is one, "When does a joke become a dad joke. When it becomes apparent."
I'm calling the police
😂😂😂😂
Fantastic video. Just what I needed. Thank you.
A nice comparison. Thank you for saving me $35 in upgrading to 4K - at least, for now. 😊
Yep I have one. It's awesome great update from my original Chromecast.
Thank you, really good to see a side by side comparison. Well done. New subscriber today.
Got both ..the 4k and hd ..I can't see much of a difference between them..if you're on a budget the hd one is a great Device in my opinion
What if i use hd chromecast to 4k tv does it make a difference compare to 4k chornecast
Infact HD version is more sluggish and laggy. I owned both versions, HD is slower with the same content & apps. I returned the HD and bought another 4k version even though my 2nd tv is only 1080p.
Thanks, so as i thought even with 1080 projector i'll order 4k version
I bought one for my bedroom (it replaced the 4k firestick I had for a while), because I have an older TV, I have chromecast and google tv 4k in the living room, and I'm happy
Planning to buy just the 4th gen HD. but have learned from some reviewers in my country that the UI of HD is a bit different than the 4k. so now I settled for 4k. you have to activate vpn something for HD so the UI would be the same with 4k.
I've got the HD one I like it..the only snag is storage. Had to buy an Anker with Power support to Add external storage. Hate all the ADs pasted over the menus as you do but can put a custom UI on it.
Awesome video i just got the 4k version on black friday!
This chrome cast is my first I have just gotten the HD model I had the firestick 4K. From 2018 it went all black. But. I don’t notice a lot of difference I have a 4K Hisense smart tv. But limited apps but for what I need it will do for the time being. The one big. Bonus is the added tv controls I do like.
All in all it is a solid device
Great review lad. And cheers and keep cracking on mate!
Nice video mate! Cheers from the U.S! Subscribed :)
Great review mate thanks 👍
Top man free tech 🍻🍻
My guess is that the hd version is relatively similar to the 4k model as its less cpu intensive to output in HD compared to 4k. The slower cpu and ram has less of an Impact at 1080p
Just go with the 4k even for 1080p screens.
Both should be tested on 1080p. Which is fastest then?
Great comparison video. Here's one for ya:
I was walking back from the pub with my mate. We were walking through the fields and I said, "Look! There's a wolf!" My mate said, "Where?" I said, "No, just the normal kind". 🤣
🤣
take less drugs
I have the 4k version. I am an apple fan but got the 4k last year when on offer. I actually prefer the Chromecast over the Apple TV. Nothing fancy, just does what I want when I want to watch something. HD version might be good for my son as he only has an old tv in his room.
Nice review - thanks
If my TV "upscales" to 4k is there point paying the extra between them both? I got the HD when in sale and think it's fab & was waiting for the 4k to drop price somewhere (to move the HD upstairs) but now wondering if there's point paying the extra?
How I can tell which one is HD and which is 4K if im buying used?
Hello. Does it automatically switch AFR on Netflix / Disney+ / HBO MAX? Thank you
Good video Free Tech think i will stick my Fire TV devices.
Aiai my favourite Brit, how you're doing mate? Awesome vid as always! No don't use any them and don't think their beating my firestick 3rd gen in any way. Maybe an option for my son as a second device but it would be have to be much, much cheaper. I just don't Google, avoid it like the plague..only really use RUclips. Reason is simple, they don't care about privacy at all.
Keep going 👍🏻👍🏻
Greetings from Netherland
I have the Chromecast with Google Tv and really see very small differences and will stay with what I have.
Great review.
Cheers Dennis 🍻
Can it take an external storage device with a hub like the older one? I've also got the ultra for my 4ktv and it doesn't. 😢
Thanks mate, I really want to like the 4K chromcast but its just too buggy compared to the 4k firestick. I won't bother with the HD Chromecast.
Cheers bud. Yeah, Amazon pretty much dominate streaming devices round this price. I wish Google went go a more premium device to compete with the Cube & Nvidia Shield.
I just want beetv back
I wil try the 4k version on my HD TV. As the 4k dongle now has a price at 27 USD in big sale in my country.
Hello there buddy. Great review by the way, but out of curiosity I had to ask if you could give a hint or two. I do have 4k projector with a 120inch screen. In your opinion would it be big difference between these two considering the size of the screen? Thanks in advance mate
Yes
Nice one Adam 👍
My TV is a 1080p HD TV. If budget is not an issue, should I buy 4K chromecast and enjoy the benefits of features of 4K chromecast ? which features of 4K chromecast I can enjoy on my HD 1080 TV ? Finally what is your advice ?
I have the HD and its very laggy with hardly any apps on it. Is the 4K same or is it snappier than the HD
I just picked one up for £24.99 and thought I’d give it a try and to be honest I’m pretty impressed by it’s performance at that price’ i set all animations to 0.5 in dev options. I would say it’s probably about on par with the fire stick lite but this has half a gb of ram extra 1.5 the same as the regular fire stick 4k’ if I had to choose over a cheap chinese android box and this I’d most certainly go for this hands down especially at the price i got it for anyway. ✌️
can you put movie apps on like kodi and stuff, and play store , cheers
@@lazycarper yes you can’ there is other ways i just use adblink from a windows computer to send the apk across and it installs straight to the device on the fly also play store comes included 👍🏻
@@dean9776 thanks, do you know any good apks for movies and stuff, thanks
@@lazycarper apktime 👍🏻
If you're a YT Premium subscriber, surely the ads don't appear yeah? I'm thinking about getting a 4K one this black friday
You can edit suggested content by app.
OMG you had to wait a whole extra second for the 4k version to load! 😮
What about actually casting? I came here to see the differences between casting google chrome web pages from my mac.
Can you connect the onn tv box remote with Chromecast Google TV
I have a Chromecast with Google TV but I also experienced a Roku TV for the first time and now I don't like the Chromecast. I have settled on Roku TV for my household interface. Not necessarily a fan of the for you interface on the Chromecast.
Hiya. I am going to take a tv stick to Indonesia this October, when I see my inlaws. As a gift to someone. Now, they have no Amazon out there. I'm leaning toward Google, rather than something like Xiaomi. Would you agree with my assessment, or not?
Crackin video Dude 🙈🙉🙊👍👍👍👍👍🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
Cheers Darrell 🍻
Is it possible to power any of these with power from car cigarett lighter socket? Though of having one of these in my RV.
Hey free tech u should do a updated new video on this video chromecast HD vs chromecast 4k vs the onn google 4k tv streaming device
Are you from Yorkshire?
My TV is only HD, should I buy 4K or only HD model of chrome ? will my HD TV show 4K content with 4K Crome cast.
Nice! 👍
Hello everyone. I have a full 1080P tv with HDMI port 📺 if I buy a 4K chromecast moniter will it show 4K ????
I had just bought my chromcast and i even tested it out but i'll find out how good this chromcast is cause goin to be my first time dealing with a google chromcast HD kit wish me luck
HD version support codec AV1 and 4K do not.
Love your site and tutorials. I’m in the UK, I have downloaded TUBI TV. However, it will not open stating it’s not available in my location. I’ve tried it with the vpn and without, Europe and USA. Any advice please?❤
stop trying
I got chromecast HD for $19 for me works better than firestick 4k win win
If I have an OLED TV, is the Chromecast HD enough? Then the resolution will be as if I was watching it in 4K on a normal TV. Or what do you think?
The hd version can stream in hdr, hdr10 and hdr10+ because it has the new TV1 decoder.
A good comparison between the 4K and HD models, bro. I'll stick with my Firestick 4K, though. ♥
I think android has better signal then firestick
High action RUclips content at 1080p gets destroyed with compression blocking. Does this effect show up on the HD version? I would assume so.
On the Chromecast HD, Can you select a resolution higher than 1080p, for example 1440p resolution on a RUclips video?
No you can't obviously. That's the whole point of the HD version. It only goes up to 1080P as it says on the box. So they putslightly less in the hardware department CPU/RAM compared to the actual 4K one and that's your lower pricepoint. You can see it in his video where he shows the bitrate/resolution selector in youtube, the HD one only goes up to 1080P.
@@NL0Gwenster well just because the device only outputs maximum 1080p doesn't mean that it isn't capable of downloading the stream at higher res. For example, on a PC you can select to watch a video at 4k even though you are watching it on a 1080p monitor.
Got the original 4k and think it's pricey. If I had the choice over I'd get another Fire Stick. Better remote and buttons which doesn't slip out of your hand like a bar of bloody soap! Recommend people get the HD looking at this video.
Yeah, I agree with the remote. Not a fan 🍻
Dezor App on chromecast. Heaven man.
Can FireStick allow to screencast? I assume we can on chromecast.
Also, i heard we can do video calls and we can connect wireless headsets to chromecast.
Miracast/screen share
Yes you have to go into the menu, turn it on then do it on the phone
Hi, love the vids, any chance of a review of the Android box T95 with backlit remote keyboard ? It looks good, keep up the good work, SJ
I have 2 t95q android boxes and have as many as 20 kodi builds on one of the boxes and streaming flawlessly. I have a 3 mini keyboard and mouse backlit
Love the joke and another great video 👍 👌 can't believe it today a some bloke just assaulted me with milk, cream and butter. How dairy!
Which device is faster in operation Amazon 4k max or this device from your experience??? Thanks for your the answer!!!
I think they both perform well bud. It’s more personal preference, if you prefer Amazon launcher or Google TV layout. 🍻
Don't think I would want either to be honest buddy. Good video 👍
I only have a HD TV, hence why I bought the HD version...and love it.
all that loading tests are not quite exact because this streamers depends on your internet connection speed
Any chance you doing a review on some hair n beard trimmers?😂
beetv not working dude
CPU RAM storage 4k vs HD ? But the pink and blue cool 4k
Available in the Arabian Gulf, the hd version costs $47 and the 4k version costs $62.
I'm having constant problems with the volume buttons on the chromecast remote. Pain in the a$$
I rather spent 200 on nivia sheila then by the HD one
if i buy chromecast 4k version will it work on hd tv?
yes
I have the chrome cast with google tv on my 4k tv and the only thing I don't like about it is the remote. I have the Walmart $20.00 onn tv box on my 1080 tv and love it. And it also does 4k.
I would not buy the chromecast hd. I do have Amazon fire tv cubes on both tv's which I much prefer.
i jailbreak my and its perfect
buy the 4k version if you have a 4k tv..otherwise stick to the hd one..and you need a fast internet for 4k streaming
I have a 12 year old Panasonic tv not 4k I have a firestick and a older chromecast plugged in with a splitter, was thinking of getting the newer chromecast, should I just get the HD version?
Unless you upgrade to a 4k tv, there's no point upgrading to the 4k chromecast, you still will only be viewing at the tv resolution of 1080p and no more, upgrading to a 4k smart tv and if you want you can use the 4k chromecast because of it's features ,.
Resolution Up to 4K HDR, 60 FPS.
Video formats Dolby Vision, HDR10, HDR10+, HLG 1
Audio formats Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus and Dolby Atmos via HDMI passthrough.
Connectivity Wi-Fi 802.11ac (2.4 GHz/5 GHz), Bluetooth® plus 8gigs of storage. There are other features. The bottom line is you get the 4k because you want to view programs that display up to 4k 60fps on 4k tv's. In your case HD chromecast is all you need
@@perceive8159 Nice answer. But if budget is not an issue, should I buy 4K chromecast and enjoy the benefits of features of 4K chromecast ?.
Chromecast 4k or Nokia 8010
I bought the first Chromecast 4K with Google TV. I stopped using it after a few months & moved to the Firestick. Ignoring the initial cock-ups at launch (Bluetooth) the main reason is the TV store is rubbish, no wide ranging content as per the Firestick & that is of particular importance to me & some of the apps don't support live TV e.g. ITV Hub on Google TV, On the Firestick it does. Not worth it compared to the Firestick.
Chronecast has ITV
HD all the way!
Jesus loves you
Great video, loved the intro joke, haha : )
Awesome video brother. Thanks for sharing. Keep the content coming. Don't own one nor want to buy one. Just my opinion it's DOG SHIT. Keep the content coming. Hope you have an incredible day. Much love and RESPECT brother
I don't own a TV, and my monitors are 1080p. Maybe the HD is a better deal for me...
I have 2 for different rooms on 2 HD TVs. We like them a lot.
Thumbs up for the dad joke alone
I own both the 4k and the new HD. A problem I'm having with the HD is I'm unable to install anything from Unknown Sources. The install from unknown sources option appears until I install something from the play store and then the menu changes and the option disappears. Hoping this is a bug.
Nope this has been the way it works for least a year now
@@choppedncut79cutlass i own both and have no problem installing apks from 3rd party apps on the 4k. cant do it with the HD.. others having the same problem. googles response is that it's a bug.
@@rgeisert maybe I misunderstood but you have to add a program that add the ability to have something to install from unknown sources
Downloader for example or one of the file server apps forgot the names but they have the code to install apps some RUclipsrs used them for a bit like troypoint
@@choppedncut79cutlass yes, like downloader or file manager. I just found out that the 4K also has the same issue if you upgrade to Android 12. I'm on Android 10.
I'm am going to assume that I own a 4K version of Chromecast with Google TV because mine is actually Faster 🤷, but how would I know the difference though I'm am Not an expert like you are 🤷
What do you get if you pour boiling water down a rabbit hole?
A hot cross bunny
Terrible joke I know 😂😂
anyway keep up the good work
I don't see any advantage over the Firestick 4K. So it's a no.
The advantage is it's a lot cheaper if you want it in multiple rooms.
I bought the HD thinking it was the 4k version am I fucked or is it fine
The HD version works pretty much as good. Just the likes of max 1080p resolution and different processor bud. 🍻
I picked the HD one because for obvious reasons in my part our tv doesn't support 4k😂
Is it working okay
@saimgamer6220 yep, however sometimes when you turn it on again you'll have to reconnect it to the wifi, just turn off the wifi settings then it just connects again. For its price though I think its worth it
The problem with Chromecast HD is the lack of ram, this becomes a big problem when they try to update the o/s, not enough space.
But RAM is completely unrelated to storage space...
RAM has nothing to do with what you describe, plus HD needs less RAM than 4k, your Statement is completely invalid.
Actually the hd has 300 mbps of storage because it has 1.5 ram.
Hdr an Dolby is broken on this
I have a 1080p TV And I coming from the old 3rd Gen Chromecast So The Google Chromecast With Google TV HD is a no Brainer For me.
That difference is too small for me to care about.
The HD version was only £20 in Asda last week. Might pick one up as a back-up for my firestick 4k, as it's started stopping the odd RUclips video, to put up a page of films that cost money, even though I pay for premium, so shouldn't get any adverts.
Adam, what's the difference between an ugly woman and a gorgeous woman, 10 pints.
Think Google wasting there time with these devices, less they can come up with something like the cube.
Don't like it just got a lep S1 today and it good
I see Amazon have removed developer option I wonder if Google will do the same or is it just Amazon being assholes
Why does it say 4K or HDR
It's 4K HDR
@@mihailgeceski4945 actually the hd model streams in hdr but not 4k. It supports AV1 video codec which the 4k model doesn't have which gives better compression which upscale picture quality .
This link shows spec is hdr, hdr+10 and hlg
@@dennyhiett6271 Oh,ok
Thanks!
@@mihailgeceski4945 no problem. Happy streaming
I like the Chromecast but I still think Amazon fire stick is better
Can firestick cast anything as easy like Chromecast???
Thank u great joke’s thanks again
I have the hd much better than the fire stick
no
