Is the Google Streamer 4K worth it over a cheaper streaming stick?

If you want Ethernet, a USB port, Dolby Vision and a faster chip, yes. A basic stick costs less but lacks the wired port and the extra memory.

Do I need to buy an HDMI cable separately?

Yes. Google lists an HDMI 2.1 cable as required and sold separately, so budget for one if you don't have a spare.

Does it support Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos?

Yes. It outputs Dolby Vision HDR and passes Dolby Atmos and Dolby Digital Plus audio over HDMI, provided your TV or sound system supports them.

Can I connect it with Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi?

Yes. It has a built-in Ethernet port, which is useful if your router is near the TV or you want a steadier connection for 4K streaming.

The streamer, the voice remote and power adapter are included. An HDMI cable is not.
