Many new 4K TVs have built-in Chromecast, but some people want to use it on their own TV. You can play 4K games with Stadia Pro on a wider range of TV brands with the help of a Chromecast Ultra or a Chromecast with Google TV. We are here to help you find the best 4K TVs for Chromecast, with the top of the list being the LG C1 OLED TV.

If you want a discounted model, the new Lg C1 OLED TV is better than the old one for visual quality, gaming, and streaming. The new Alpha a9 Gen. 4 processor will upscale your cast content to 4K beautifully and naturally. If you own a next-gen console like the PS5 you will be able to play 4K gaming at 120Hz with four HDMI 2.1 ports.

Generally speaking, the TVs from the company are beautiful. They bring blacks and colors that are nearly perfect. The C1 is able to adapt to the light in your room, hits a solid level of brightness, and still offers rich black levels, though it does not have a HDR10+ option. There is a new panel with self-lit pixels, but it will cost you more than most can afford.

The TV supports ALLM and the best refresh rates for your games, which will lead to super-low input lag. It has an artificial intelligence sound upscaling feature that will make stereo soundtracks sound like they are from Atmos. You can swap between streaming apps with the built-in features of the TV. Like many smart TVs these days, the C1 has a ThinQ home screen that will learn and emphasize your favorite apps and shows.

The C1 is more expensive than other 4K TVs because of the support needed to get the most out of your Chromecast. It doesn't have a built-in device. For all-around quality, you cannot go wrong with this television.

Vizio P-Series Quantum

Watching what you want.

The P-Series Premium Quantum TVs are the best value in the business because of their balance between quality and price. This TV has a 65-inchLED with 4K HDR, Dolby Vision, a typical slate of apps, and built-in Chromecast support. You can save an HDMI slot for something else with Vizio SmartCast.

Beyond all that, support is wide-ranging. You get the HLG format and 200 dimmed zones in the back lighting that lightens and dims based on the content on the screen. It won't match what anOLED can do, but it does close the gap enough to make this TV appear more brilliant than you might think. It can upscale low-res content with its IQ Ultra Processor, and it will even recognize black bars from ultra-wide content.

The P-Series Premium Quantum has two ports for next-gen gaming and one eARC port, and its own internal speakers have DTS Virtual X built-in. With a gaming mode, hooking up a console should lead to some intense moments when playing your favorite titles.

This TV is great for shoppers with money to burn. The quantum dots used in the technology of the QLEDs are not the same as the ones used in TVs. Most of the TVs on the market won't be as good as the ones that come with QLED. You will have to attach your own Chromecast, but many shoppers prefer the option of using the Tizen OS on the side of the TV. If you want to mirror your screen on the QN90A, you have to buy a new phone.

The new model has MiniLED, which makes the TV brighter with better contrast, colors, and blacks than most other standardLED TVs. It has an anti-reflective finish that will prevent you from seeing yourself mirrored. Like many of its competitors, it has a powerful upscaling engine that will boost your non-4K cast content. The visual quality of some of your Chromecast content will be limited by the lack of Dolby Vision support.

The QN90A has a single HDMI 2.1 port, but it is well suited for gaming. For example, it has a Game Bar that lets you check your current performance, it should hit 4K/ 120Hz and lower than 10ms input lag, or it can even change the aspect ratio to something.

Sony X90J TV

Most 4K TVs with built-in Chromecast software run the Android TV OS, with the exception of Vizio TVs. When it comes to 4K TVs, Sony- branded sets should be your first choice. They are usually top-class and ready to go head-for-head against other popular brands. We love the Sony X900H and Sony X950H because of their low cost and solid performance. Even if it costs a couple hundred more, you should check out the Sony X90J because it has future-proofed features.

For a reasonable price, you get two HDMI 2.1 ports for 4K/ 120Hz gaming and features like ALLM and VRR; the new Cognitive Processor XR, which improves audio and video but also improves color and contrast performance to 4K content; and support for the Google Assistant. You can get credits to buy ten free movies on the Bravia Core service.

It won't have the visual performance of a more expensive set or anOLED. Instead, it has a reflective panel that looks great dead-on in a dimly lit room, but won't get bright enough for a sunny room and won't look as great from the side. It will perform well enough for anyone who isn't used to flagship TVs.

The cutting-edge QLED panels that make all the headlines aren't the cutting-edge panels that provide fantastic value in a 4K HDR TV. You can get a 55 inch and even a 75 inch for less than other options on this list. While still in stock, the TU8000 will save you some money, while the 2021AU8000 has a slimmer frame and an improved processor for better color and details.

There is a price discrepancy between the company's TVs. The AU8000 doesn't have all the bells and whistles, like a wider color gamut, wider viewing angles, and peak brightness. There are six different sizes to choose from, starting with a fair bit to like. You can get support for streaming apps from the box, as well as access them through the Tizen interface. You can cast over any content you want, including your phone screen, with the help of a Chromecast.

The TV is at its best in dimly lit rooms that aren't big, where viewing angles are more acute. You could still have a lot of fun playing on this TV, even though the refresh rate should be higher for gaming and sports. Don't get this with futureproofing in mind for next-gen consoles because it doesn't support HDMI 2.1 and VRR.

At incredible prices, TCL makes solid TVs. You don't get a ton of frills, nor will you get the absolute best picture, but the company's 4-Series TVs come in different sizes and are more about access than they are about providing the best features. This may not be the best choice for your living room, but for other rooms in the house or as a starter set to get into 4K, it is a great choice.

The 4-Series is about convenience at an entry level price. You can get a smart TV out of the box with access to the most popular streaming apps without having to pay for a streaming box. You can use the mobile app to do private listening. Plugging in a Chromecast expands content options further, putting more wireless functions in your hands through your phone or tablets.

The TV is easy to set up and place in a room that won't be your primary viewing area. You put the money down for something that will not give you the best picture quality. More advanced features, like local dimming, eARC, faster refresh rates, and bolder color reproduction are not on hand here.

The best of the best

You can get almost every streaming app and 4K+ format you could ask for, the option to stream other content from your phone or computer, and even some cloud gaming thrown in with Stadia with the Chromecast. While you can choose one of the best 4K Android TVs with the service built-in, we suggest focusing on choosing the best TV and then adding the affordable dongle after the fact.

The best 4K TV for Chromecast through a balance of price and amazing quality is the latest model of the Lg C1 OLED TV. You will be paying a lot of money for it. You get everything you want in a TV, including next-gen gaming performance, excellent color contrast, a powerful upscaling processor, and plenty of smarts.

There are cheaper 4K TVs to consider if you want to pay less. If you pay a little more now, it will look great for a long time, saving you money in the long run.
