Smarten up old TVs and monitors for under £30 with Google Chromecast
Turn an old TV or monitor into a smart home entertainment system and access all your favourite streaming platforms in one place, thanks to Google Chromecast.
Designed for TVs and monitors that don’t have a built-in smart platform, Chromecast with Google TV is a quick and easy way to find all your favourite streaming platforms in one handy place without the need to splurge on any fancy equipment.
In fact, all the device needs is a monitor with an HDMI port, a power socket and an active Wi-Fi connection. Having said that, to take advantage of its 4K streaming ability, you will also need a 4K ready display.
Controlling the Chromecast is a breeze too, thanks to the included voice remote that’s fitted with Google Assistant and allows you to ask Google to find films, TV shows or play music from compatible apps.
Thanks to the Google TV platform, all movies and TV shows from services such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney Plus can be found on one single device, letting you quickly dive into what you want to watch next. Plus it has access to the Play Store, so you can scroll through its library of over 10,000 apps so there’s guaranteed to be something for everyone.

Now at half price, investing in a Chromecast with Google TV is an affordable way to smarten up old TVs and monitors, without having to splurge on pricey accessories.
