    Black Friday / Cyber Monday should have some decent deals on this . Sub $50 would be a better deal if you are in no rush.

  • Dirkmirk on 14/11/2022 - 12:02

    Ive got a few 4k firesticks.

    I watch Youtube, Amazon Prime TV, Stan, Netflix, Kayosports & the free to air tv apps.

    Is their any notable difference between these devices?

    • zfa on 14/11/2022 - 12:07
      +1

      You can cast to these from your mobile devices (i.e. they act as a Chromecast as wel las a set-topbox with remote), and the ui isn't quite the adfest of FireOS.

      There's also a slight difference in what you can get in the native appstore and what you have to sideload. Kayo, Tivimate, KODI etc. It's also easier to change region of a Fire device to get out-of-region apps if you want them without sideloading. But if you don't mind sideloading apps then the main difference is just the UI and cast destination functionality.

          You may be able to share content to it depending on the app(s) you use but it is not 'chromecasting' in the true sense of the technology as that's Google proprietary tech. Unless there's now some 3rd party product emulation of the spec which people run on those devices, in which case I stand corrected.

          • superforever on 14/11/2022 - 12:14

            Do you have firestick? My youtube app on my samsung phone allow me to cast to firestick 4k.

            • zfa on 14/11/2022 - 12:17

              @superforever: Yeah, I own about half a dozen different versions of them. Ditto a couple of other Android things like the mibox and plain old Chromecasts.

                In that case you can try cast it from youtube app to firestick, I didn't know that before, I always thought can only cast to Google devices.

                • zfa on 14/11/2022 - 12:31

                  @superforever: I don't need to try it. I know YouTube can send content to FireTV, it's just not 'Chromecasting'.

                    I press cast on my youtube app and it said Cast to and I can see my firestick on it.

                    The firestick also listed on my PC Chrome browser cast list

                    So if it is not casting, what is it?

                      @superforever: Casting is a very specific client-server tech. If you're really interested here's the basic intro:

                      https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/reference

                      PM me if you've any more questions as we're not adding anything in this deal discussion debating the nut and bolts of second-screen support in apps.

                        @zfa: More people only care if they can cast video from their phone to the device but what you said make people think you can't with firestick.

                        Of course you can't do everything like a real chromecast device, like using the Google Home app, I understand that.

                        • zfa on 14/11/2022 - 13:02

                          I'm not going to omit a vital difference such as lack of Google Cast support when someone has earnestly asked for differences between this and a firestick just because some people who don't know what they're talking about might get confused, lol. I already clarified that some apps - and yes, that includes YouTube - might support second-screen right up top in my first reply to you. Sure people will work it out.

    • klaw81 on 14/11/2022 - 12:11

      Mostly it's your preferred ecosystem - native support for Google's services; Chromecast and Voice Assistant in particular.

    • IdBuyThat4aDollar on 14/11/2022 - 12:15

      I've had both. Personally I prefer the fire stick UI but each to their own.

      The big difference would be Kayo and Binge not officially on Fire Tv. Might be a deal breaker for some. Personally not an issue for me as I prefer kayo through the kodi add on so I don't have to deal with the sluggish kayo interface.

      Also I normally just watch the kayo live channels and there's an add on u can get in kodi from slyguy repository that converts it to a TV guide (same with the Binge live channels)

      • Dirkmirk on 14/11/2022 - 12:32

        I would buy for Kayo TBH…

        Is their an app to download?

        I dont want to cast I like remote control.

        • todayssawyer on 14/11/2022 - 13:27
          +1

          There is a solid Kayo app on the Play store that works on these devices, can be a little tricky to find some things though.

    • Agret on 14/11/2022 - 20:33

      Offtopic but if you don't pay for YouTube you can uninstall/disable the official YouTube app on your Fire Sticks and install the app SmartTubeNext.

      You can sign into your youtube account on it and cast to it from the official YouTube app on your phone still but smarttube has no ads and also has SponsorBlock integrated so you can turn that on to skip sponsor segments of videos.

    • G-rig on 15/11/2022 - 07:00

      Fire stick cons (from techspot):

      • Amazon needs to chill with the self-promotion
      • No Google Play apps
      • The menu system is still too bloated
      • Requires inconvenient power adapter

      The Chromecast has greater support for streaming options.

      Amazon Fire Stick has a limited scope when compared to other streaming devices. For instance, Google’s Chromecast is compatible with more peripherals than the Fire Stick, so you can easily use it with other devices, such as your computer, phone or laptop.

  • justkev on 14/11/2022 - 12:07

    Can anyone who has one, comment on how the Plex app runs on this? I have an old Hisense that has an outdated Plex app, so just chromecasting from my phone, while it works, would be nice to have it all in one box with remote solution again.

    • zfa on 14/11/2022 - 12:08
      +2

      Runs well but doesn't have great audio support. Think its OPUS(?) audio I always need to transcode unless I go via my soundbar and let it passthrough for it to decode.

      I rate it as a plex device but the Fire TV 4K Max has better audio support and might be on sale at some piont (two for 70 bucks or so wasn't it earlier in the year). I have a plex server and give those 4k Max devices out to friends justbecuase they're solid and I know they're going to work for them as opposed to having to support them using my plex on a shitty Tizen TV, say.

      • MrGareth on 14/11/2022 - 16:14
        +1

        I rate the Google TV higher than the Fire TV 4k Max for Plex - I have both. The Fire TV has a nasty issue with particular video releases (hopefully they'll fix it one day though).

    • hopper on 14/11/2022 - 12:10

      Have one connected to my home theater, plex works great. You might have a Bluetooth issue with headphones, if you encounter them change audio setting from sterio to mono on plex.

      • BigLeviathan on 15/11/2022 - 06:39

        Wait, you can connect Bluetooth headset to Google chromecast with Google tv? That's cool! Didn't know this

        • hopper on 15/11/2022 - 12:32

          Also you can connect xbox controller and play xbox game pass

    • recycledrevenge on 14/11/2022 - 13:56

      I have the non 4K version - for our fairly basic set up Plex works really well

      • superforever on 14/11/2022 - 14:04

    Bought this a few months ago for $75, great device for the price.

    Recently replaced with the new Apple TV which is more than 3x the price of this, but it’s a much better experience. Tho I wouldn’t say 3x the experience.

    Few things I didn’t like with the Google TV were..
    1. No dynamic refresh rate setting based on content
    2. No dynamic picture profile based on content
    3. Navigating through it is a bit slow, but for the price it’s reasonable.

    • Jimothy Wongingtons on 14/11/2022 - 12:58

      I feel the only thing Apple TV really had over chrome cast 4k was native apple streaming from another apple device

      • Randolph Duke on 14/11/2022 - 13:04

        1 & 2 mentioned are worth it alone IMO. I don’t want my media player changing the colour profile or refresh rate.

      • buckethat on 14/11/2022 - 13:12
        +3

        Yeah I’d say the benefits are minimal if you’re not in the Apple ecosystems.

        Though variable refresh rate and picture mode depending on content is quite nice. Another added bonus is being able to use AirPods Pro/Max with all its bells and whistles.

    • zfa on 14/11/2022 - 13:16

      Content matched frame rate is working in Android 12, both integer and fractional rates. App support of it is hit and miss though but I guess it'll follow.

  • bkoolrocks on 14/11/2022 - 12:55

    I have an 8yr old sony tv with the oldest of all chromecasts.
    The apps in sony tv sucks as they dont have proper updates and keeps crashing (youtube /Netflix etc).
    Also casting from phone sometimes is too sluggish even with a decent NBN conn.

    So, will this new device help me in anyway or time for a new tv? :-P

    • Webluce on 14/11/2022 - 13:03
      +1

      This will be a big improvement. Personally I’d go for an Apple TV but obviously it’s 3 times the price.
      This becomes your smart tv interface. No need to cast as the apps are on the screen and you have a remote.

      • Brianqpr on 14/11/2022 - 19:55

        The apps are also on screen with this Chromecast and there's a remote with it.

    • zfa on 14/11/2022 - 13:06
      +4

      Yeah, this is a solid device. Only downside to your old Chromecast is a slight difference in user experience when casting from apps lke Netflix where this unit insists on opening the native app instead of proper casting. Or did - I don't use Netflix any more.

      But if you're happy with your actual TV itself and think it just needs 'new smarts' and uptodate apps this is a solid choice IMO.

      Previously had a dumb TV and replaced my Gen 1 ChromeCast with a ChromeCast 4K w/TV

      It's much snappier to load shows and having a remote to flick through programs is great.

    I’ve had two of these, and both just chew through remote batteries (in days). One was to replace the original due to this issue but it has the same problem. It’s put me off using this device as it’s a nightmare just dealing with batteries non-stop. If anyone knows how to fix that, would love to know as it’s an otherwise decent device

    • sakurakiks on 14/11/2022 - 15:41

      I bought one a few weeks ago and batteries are fine. Otherwise, ozbargainers should all have a good stock of ladda/eneloops by now right =D?

      If I were you though, Id get a refund and buy from somewhere else - sometimes they could just have a faulty batch (eg I got a pixel 5 from north syd JB, very weird battery drain issue where it would go from 100 to 70 while I slept, screen would freeze, device would get hot, lose 10% browsing a few websites. Went through 2 replacements and they all had the same issue. Got the next replacement from a different JB store and everything was perfect and normal). But yea maybe return those and buy from this deal/wait for another BF sale

    • petestrash on 14/11/2022 - 20:13

      I've got a few and still on original batteries after more than a year.

      Have you checked for a stuck button?

      It's a bit hard to test the RF part, but you can check the IR portion just using a phone camera.

      Point the top of the remote at the camera, if you can see a pink light flickering it's sending IR signals.

      Otherwise get it fixed under warranty.

  • ry34 on 14/11/2022 - 15:24

    hows this device compare to an nVidia Shield Pro?

    • nitens on 14/11/2022 - 15:40

      Shield pro has ethernet, you need an adaptor on the chromecast. Better 4k upscaling on the shield. Shield has better processor and more RAM

      • superforever on 14/11/2022 - 16:04

        Better 4k upscaling on the shield. Shield has better processor and more RAM

        Off topic, wondering the 4k upscaling is by the GCCTV or by my Samsung TV?

        My Samsung TV info said UHD with some of my FHD streaming.

        • nitens on 14/11/2022 - 16:21

          Shield does upscale to 4k, and does a good job in my experience and that of reviewers. To my knowledge GCCTV doesn't upscale and will possibly leave it up to your TV to upscale.

          If that upscaling happens or not I'm not sure, and the quality of the upscaling will likely depend heavily on the capability of your TV. Some TVs do a good job of this, while others don't.

              @superforever: Maybe… I'm not super knowledgeable.

              I'd guess that if your TV was reporting a UHD signal coming in on that HDMI port then the GCCTV is likely sending a UHD signal even though you're on FHD content. But I haven't used a GCCTV just a shield.

              • superforever on 14/11/2022 - 20:43

                @nitens: I think is the Samsung TV upscaling the video, just tried play 1080p on PC, TV info still said UHD.

      Literally just pulled out my 2015 Shield TV last night after I couldn't get 4K HDR to work through Plex on my CCwGTV so I'm pretty fresh.

      The Shield really is a premium device, it is much faster and far more satisfying for daily use, way more options if you're picky about Audio and Video settings, content matching of frame rate etc..

      Keeping in mind I'm talking about the OG Shield TV too, I can only imagine they're better now again.

    What would be the best for streaming (Netflix, Dsiney+, Prime Video) out of Chromecast 4K, Apple TV 4k, or NVidia Shield Pro? I recently got a 4k TV, I know they've got some specific differences almost like Apples to Organes but I'm curious about people's opinions.

      If I was purely using streaming apps, then I would lean more towards Apple TV 4K because the ‘match content’ feature works consistently unlike Android. SDR displays in SDR, HDR10 as HDR10 and DV as DV. Refresh rate also switches properly too.

      NVIDIA Shield is the best all-round streaming device if you’re also into using Plex, Jellyfin or Emby though.

      I have both.

    Off topic.

    I'm using old Dell monitor, connected my logitech speaker via usb to power the speaker and 3.5mm headphone jack for the sound to the back of the monitor.

    Using previous chromecast, I can control the volume via mobile phone.

    Using this 4k chromecast, I can't control the volume at all either from remote or mobile phone. During the setup, I can't set up the volume when selected Dell as the monitor.
    Sound the loudest at the moment, I guess.

    If I press the power button on the remote, it is fine.i can control the menu.
    But NOT the volume button.
    Any idea? Thanks in advance.

      But NOT the volume button.

      Go to settings, remote, configure vol button, you will see option to control Chromecast volume.

      BTW, this is what firestick 4k can't do.

        Tried that but still unable to control the volume via remote.

          Tried that but still unable to control the volume via remote.

          Which volume you want to control? If the volume on the Chromecast itself that one should work.

            @superforever: I expect to work but this model doesn't work.

            Probably because combination old monitor and usb and 3.5mm z5 speaker
            See below for the monitor model.

            Will try next time with different combinations.

            Thank you

        Yeah the HDMI eArc (CEC) settings work pretty well, my GTV remote can Power on/off the tv, Chromecast and soundbar with one button, volume on soundbar.. so only one remote necessary most of the time.

        PS The dell monitor may not have HDMI Arc settings by the sound of it (assuming it has a speaker)
