This update will be a great benefit for people who like to watch shows and movies on the big screen. Amazon’s Alexa or fire tv stick fulfils this to a great extent but the cost of both of them comes at a hefty price.

Currently, users can stream content via Chromecast. Chromecast on Google TV was announced in October that supports 4K HDR support and a dedicated remote control. This came as a competition to Amazon Fire TV as it provides a lot of extra benefits along with video streaming like Dolby Atmos, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby Vision, HDR10+ etc.
