Please Recommend a Cheap Decent Chromecast TV for a Small to Medium Bedroom

Hi all, asking for a non computer savvy friend. We're looking for a cheap TV to put in their bedroom to watch movies from a website. They're watching in a browser on their phone at the moment and it's painful to watch! As far as I know, Chromecast TV is probably the best bet here? Assuming they will not need to buy any extra hardware apart from the TV itself, and with very little learning curve.

I guess the budget is the smaller the better, without sacrificing too much on responsiveness and quality. If you can give a couple of options, we will really appreciate it!

    Marketplace TV plus google chromecast? $100 TV and hopefully $50 for the chromecast from Marketplace (new model is over $100)

    Most cheap TVs have slow systems that never get updated, so having a separate device will be far better, and with e-arc you will still only need 1 remote

    Look at Ffalcon TVs. That is my go to and I am going to be buying one to put in the Caravan.

    You can get a cheap 1080p projector with Android for $100 from Amazon. Will do the usual streaming in the projector. In a bedroom, where you can control the light, its probably the best option.

    • Came here to say this. Gaming from bed, streaming using moonlight on a cold winters night on a 150" screen is so good.

    TCL…

    New ones should support both Apple play and chromecast.

  • Why Chromecast, just buy a TV that has Google TV built-in. Much easier than casting from a phone. Many places like JB HiFi or BigW sell these TV's.
    Add free apps to TV direct from Play Store

      The built in GTV or ATV on cheap TVs are garbage. Laggy as hell due to crappy specs. Better to add an external device

  • Fire stick. Reflash. Get everything for free.
