Context: I have a Chromecast with Google TV today that I’m quite happy with, after having heavily customized the thing. However, it’s only 1080, and I recently got a 4k TV and would like to be able to get the full mileage out of it.
Now that Google are sunsetting the Chromecast series, is it a bad idea to pick up a 4k Chromecast, or should I just wait for the new device to drop? It seems a bit pricier and I’m not sure if there are any features I should necessarily wait for.
My use-case is basically watching YouTube/Nebula/Netflix/Jellyfin.
I was mostly against having the amount of ads that it blasted on me. They had a setting to turn off the recommendations, but that made it nigh-unusable.

I should look into that. The launcher is awful.
