If you’d rather not spend the money on a brand new TV this year, you can make an old set feel new again with a streaming device. Our favorite streaming device is on sale right now ahead of Black Friday: you can grab the Google TV Streamer 4K for only $75, which is the lowest price we’ve seen so far. The Amazon deal applies to both color options, White and the soft gray Haze.
The Google TV Streamer is our top pick for an all-in-one streaming device. It has a faster processor than Google’s previous streaming devices (22 percent faster, according to the company), so you can switch between apps and different media without lagging.

It also has more storage and memory, at 32GB and 4GB, respectively. Google TV streamer has an intuitive interface and keeps all of your favorite content from different streaming apps organized in one menu. It also seamlessly integrates Google Home, allowing you to control your smart home devices from a slideout panel on the TV.
The 4K streamer comes in a set-top wedge design, rather than the dongle of Chromecasts past, but you’ll have to pick up an HDMI cable separately if you don’t already have one you can use. It comes with a small remote that you can ping by pressing a button on the streamer for when you inevitably misplace it.
In her review of the device, Engadget’s Amy Skorheim called the Google TV streamer “a full-featured, competent device with an interface that’s better than most at pulling together all the disparate threads of a streaming experience.” One of its only downsides is the relatively high cost at $100, so don’t let this deal go to waste.
In addition to the streaming device, Google has a bunch of other tech on sale for Black Friday. The entry-level Nest thermostat is on sale for $90 right now, and the Nest Wi-Fi Pro 6E router has dropped to $120 for a single-pack; that’s 40 percent off.
