If you don’t want to 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 buy the Google TV Streamer 4K for just $75, which is the lowest price we’ve ever seen.

It also has more storage and memory at 32GB and 4GB respectively. Google TV Streamer has an intuitive interface and keeps all your favorite content from different streaming apps organized in one menu. It also seamlessly integrates Google Home, so you can control your smart home devices from a slideout panel on the TV.
The 4K streamer comes in a set-top wedge design instead of the dongle of previous Chromecasts, but you’ll need to pick up a separate HDMI cable that you can use if you don’t already have one. It comes with a small remote that you can essentially ping by pressing a button on the streamer if you misplace it.
In her review of the device, Engadget’s Amy Schorheim called the Google TV Streamer “a full-featured, capable device with an interface that’s one of the best at pulling together all the different threads of the streaming experience.” The only downside is its relatively high cost of $100, so don’t let this deal go to waste.
In addition to streaming devices, 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 is down to $120 for a single-pack; This is 40 percent off.
