When it comes to media streamers, Amazon and Roku tend to steal the limelight. However, Google Chromecast is also an excellent choice and is currently on sale.

Best Buy is offering the Google Chromecast for $29.99 for a limited time. That's $5 off and the best price we've seen this year for Google's current streamer. It's also one of the best 4th of July sales we've seen this week.

If you need a gadget that can stream movies and shows from a device like a cell phone or laptop to your TV, the Google Chromecast is an inexpensive way to accomplish that mission.

Reviewers of the third-generation Google Chromecast praised its intuitive interface and fast performance. We especially liked its modest pricing.

Chromecast has the simplest and most straightforward interface of any streaming device on the market, as Chromecast doesn't require you to learn a whole new operating system or master a special remote control. Instead, you can control the entire experience from your phone, tablet, or computer.

The maximum output is 1080p, but for the millions of people using standard 1080p TVs, that will still be enough work.
