There's now a new cheaper version of the Chromecast to help you turn your old screens into smart TVs. The Chromecast with Google TV (HD) is a more affordable, "lite" version of the 4K option. It still plugs into any TV or computer monitor with an HDMI port. It even uses the same Google remote with programmable buttons. 

This HD Chromecast though uses a different processor than the first-generation model. It is compatible with up to 1080P HDR and supports the AV1 codec, an open-source video format. This codec is a somewhat new addition to the Chromecast ecosystem, so it isn't available in the 4K model. This HD dongle doesn't support Dolby Atmos, though. Chromecast with Google TV (HD) is available now for $39.99 in the Google Store. And it only comes in Google's Snow White colourway.
