The Chromecast with Google TV is a good little 4K media box. It is perfect for streaming videos from SVOD packages. The content aggregation system is convincing and avoids having to juggle between different services to find ideas for films or series. Google’s new interface convinces, even if it is not yet perfect. Above all, the box offers a rather pleasant experience with fairly fluid navigation. With its low price, Google’s little pebble hits the mark, even if it offers a less complete overall service than an Nvidia Shield TV.
NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude the prices of stores whose the VAT policy is not clear (so-called “gray” stores, typically in the case of imports from China).

With the Fire Stick TV 4K Max, Amazon has produced its most powerful streaming stick to date, aside from the Fire Cube TV. The additional storage space, the more efficient processor, as well as support for 6E wifi and HDR, Dolby Vision and Atmos technologies, make this key a solution perfectly suited to multimedia playback on televisions and other monitors. Fluid and efficient, it includes more than just the essentials and offers practical features, as is the case with the voice remote control. That said, the interface has changed little over the years, and in our opinion uses too much space to display sponsored content and other advertisements.
