I am currently using 3rd generation Apple TV with my 10 years old Sony 1080p TV, to watch Netflix content + Astro. The controller is a little frustrating to use ... cacat already.

I am trying to find way to get Disney + onto my tv, without spending too much. My Apple TV does not have disney+

Since my tv is not 4k, I probably don't want to spend too much for features that I won't be using. I may upgrade to 4k TV in the future, but I think it won't be anytime soon (unless touchwood, tomorrow my tv decided to die on me). Even when I purchase new tv , it probably already have built in apps for netflix/disney+ anyway.

I am not sure if i should spend like rm 400-500 for a used Apple tv 4th generation, or around rm 300 for Chromecast with googletv. Other criteria is I must have a remote, so my daughter and wife can just use the remote without fiddling with phone.

Personally, I am Apple Iphone12 user. My wife using android phone. We dont have any smart home set up. Casting from phone for content will probably less likely to happen. On Apple TV I occassionally rent movies that I have missed in cinema, otherwise most of the time is on Netflix.



What will be my best choice?

On the side note, I am thinking if I am able to watch 4k content on my 2k office monitor, if I plug for example the chromecast onto my monitor.

Thanks for all the replies.

I ended buying the google Chromecast with remote. I think so far it serves my purpose well... not really a power user myself... just Netflix + Disney+. But I do miss the ability to directly renting movie from apple tv (cheaper than google) Now I have to rent the movie I want to watch from my iphone, then only able to play with chromecast...

There is. Can browse n watch apple tv+ content (if subscribe). but wasnt able to view the usual Itune movies. there is no browsing of those like on apple tv
