    You can even add android to any tv with a chromecast with google tv, it’s a much nicer OS and runs faster than a lot of smart tv OSs

      After looking to solve this exact issue I ended up grabbing an Onn 4k streaming box (Google/Android TV) for $20 from Walmart. Not on sale, just full retail is $20, compared to the 4k Chromecast with Google TV at $50 msrp. It’s fast enough and even got better performance out of streaming games through Moonlight than I did from my Steam Link.

      Doesn’t really solve the issue, I have one but could never find a way to cast YouTube to it and not have ads, since both Vanced and New pipe can’t do it.

      I don’t recommend the chromecast. It’s incredibly slow and underpowered.

      Go for a shield TV, or even a fire stick. Google is selling crap to people, per their usual.
