Is this worth it over the 4K Chromecast with Google TV?

Only if your TV is 1080p or you don't care about 4K. The 4K model has more memory, faster hardware and 4K HDR output, and it is the better pick for a modern 4K set.

Does it support 4K or HDR?

No 4K. It outputs up to 1080p and supports HDR at that resolution, so a 4K TV will show a 1080p picture.

The streaming stick, a voice remote, two AAA batteries, a power adapter and a USB cable. You need an open HDMI port on the TV.

Do I need a Google account?

Yes, setup requires signing in with a Google account. You can then add streaming apps and sign in to each one.

Can I plug it into a TV without Wi-Fi?

No. It connects over Wi-Fi only and has no Ethernet port, so you need a wireless network.

Our take on the Google Chromecast with Google TV (HD)

A small HDMI streaming stick that runs Google TV, Google's interface on top of Android TV. It puts every app's catalog into one watchlist and adds a voice remote with dedicated Netflix and YouTube buttons. It tops out at 1080p, so it suits older or smaller TVs rather than 4K sets; the 4K Chromecast with Google TV is the step up for those. Owners like the interface and the remote, and many find it slow to load and short on storage.
