Google TV Streamer Addresses HDMI Cable Oversight with Discount Offer
Understanding the HDMI Cable Oversight with Google's TV Streamer
Google's TV Streamer is making waves in the tech scene as it positions itself as a worthy successor to Chromecast. However, a notable exclusion from the package is the HDMI cable, a point that has raised some eyebrows. While Chromecast included a cable for easy setup, the new Streamer does not.
Google's Response to User Needs
To address this issue, Google is now offering a $10 discount on their Google Ultra High-Speed HDMI Cable. This brings the price down to a more affordable $9.99 for those who pre-ordered the Streamer. This gesture indicates that Google recognizes the potential inconvenience for users transitioning from Chromecast.
Details on the HDMI Cable Offer
- Supports HDMI 2.1b for 4K HDR content.
- Length of 6.5 feet for most setups.
- Compatible with any standard HDMI cable.
Despite the positive aspects of the cable, many feel the omission of an HDMI cable in the package could have been avoided entirely. Users transitioning from Chromecast especially expected more from this new device.
