Walmart’s $60 Google TV streamer might be the only good deal left in streaming

As prices skyrocket on virtually everything else, Walmart’s $60 Onn 4K Pro streamer with Google TV might be the only good deal left — if you can find it in stock.

Prices on streaming hardware have exploded in recent months. Just a few examples include:

Anyway, all of those price hikes have had me revisiting the Walmart Onn 4K Pro that launched earlier this year and that I’ve been using in one of the rooms in my house for the past few months. Put simply, it gets the job done very well, and is a tremendous deal compared to everything around it.

The most direct comparison to the Onn 4K Pro is the Google TV Streamer, and they are pretty close across the board. They have virtually identical software, though Google’s first-party release obviously gets updates and new features a bit quicker. Performance is also nearly identical, with the only big difference being 4GB of RAM in Google’s streamer vs 3GB in Walmart’s. Most of the time, it doesn’t matter.

Walmart’s streamer continues to be a good performer day-in and day-out, and there are little things I actually prefer over Google’s. Topping that list would be the remote, which is a bit more comfortable and backlit, the latter being invaluable in a dark room at night. I could do without the slightly obnoxious “Free TV” button, but I’m overall quite happy with the remote, and even more so with the find remote button on top of the actual streaming box.
