Does chromecast with Google tv support YouTube 4k hdr content?

by hunter_finn

So my Nvidia shield 2017 has suffered broken down hdd and now all it does is display Nvidia logo and say quietly little "iiip iiip iiip" when powered up.

And now I'm on market for new Android tv box, because frankly the android tv experience in my Philips 55pus7272 is nowhere near the one that shield had. Yeah it does not support 4k hdr on YouTube and neither did shield, but at least shield didn't drop frames like crazy when trying to display anything over 1440p.

So now I'm trying to decide between the shield tv and chromecast with Google tv boxes or if I should fork out few extra euros for shield tv pro instead.

CCwGTV supports 4K HDR up to 60fps on YouTube.

Then in this case i feel like i don't get enough extra from getting shield with the extra gaming features. Yeah it was fun to be able to add network shared folders with all my roms and stuff from my pc and play retro games through retroarch.

But i still mainly used that shield for kodi and similar media purposes, and at least to my knowledge even the two newest shield models don't have 4k hdr support on YouTube. So in my case that chromecast with Google tv seems overall better option for me.
