Will this support 4K HDR?

Seems like it will. It's listed along with Dolby Vision on their Tech Specs page: https://store.google.com/us/product/chromecast_google_tv_spe...

Thanks I missed the little dropdown arrow

Wow, and on the heels of the disastrous price hike in Youtube TV because well gee those content guys are so MEAN they want all the dollarz. I also like Google Chat you know its like that thing we got rid of years ago, went through about six evolutions and came back to but without the interoperability with other systems that actually made the first one useful.

It makes me wonder if there is anyone working at Google who understands what the term "value added" even means.

Maybe they should just buy Roku and crap on that. After all Roku is moving into an analytics for sale company away from a streaming company. Why? Because everyone wants to be a portal but they can't afford to be with the studios demanding extortionate sums for their content. So instead of getting money for bringing you the content (because they have to pass on more than they can afford to the content owner) they sell their observation of people watching content to people who want to make content that people watch which is "their data" because it happened on "their device."

It makes me physically ill sometimes with how messed up this whole system came to be.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

My Nvidia Shield TV from 2015 is still doing great

That's the crapshoot, isn't it. Would you have been able to know in 2015 that the Nvidia product was going to be supported, but the Logitech one would be abandoned? Real question actually. I doubt it, but that's a weakly held opinion.

Probably not. In fact Nvidia dumped the Nvidia Shield tablet but kept released new tv devices recently.

Google TV is a launcher for Android TV, so far as I can tell. Android TV is not being rebranded, as it is the OS - but Google TV is the "Google Experience" on Android TV. To make this more complicated/interesting - Google renamed the Play Movies and TV app to "Google TV." I'm guessing so you can have Google TV on Google TV? Will the Play Movies app on my existing Android TV open the Google TV launcher like shown off…

Not much better than watching Apple TV+ in Apple TV app on an Apple TV.

I got motion sick while trying to read this webpage. Apparently scrolling counts as motion to the brain and all the crazy flying icons set it off. I don’t normally get motion sickness, either.

Goodness me, this is an exemplary example of the type of website that I just cannot abide. Style over content, and the presentation just plain getting in the way of the information, to the point that the user ends up leaving rather than finding out what the site is attempting to convey. Awful. Just awful.

I agree, but I actually really liked the interior design photos. That sofa! That TV stand! So sparse and yet luxurious at the same time. (I am NOT being sarcastic. That furniture is drool worthy, and the photography is first rate.)
