Built In Google TV OS vs Chromecast with Chromecast with Google TV HD/4k

by L0gicalReaction

I am considering buying a TCL TV that has the Smart Google TV OS. I think I will actually be chrome casting to my TV from desktop a lot for my own viewing purposes.

Wondering what the difference is between the TV's built in OS of Smart Google TV vs the Chromecast with Google TV HD/4k device. Are the functionalities the same?

Would the built in OS support the same "4k" streaming capabilities as the Chromecast with Google TV 4k, does this even matter for my use case?

They will be the same. Performance is where they may differ but that will mainly depend on what you want to do with them. I would ignore the HD versin of the CCwGTV. Are you casting stuff that doesn't normally have Android TV apps?
