Why This Matters for Projector Owners
Not every projector — especially dedicated home theater and business/education models — ships with a capable built-in smart platform. The Google TV Streamer solves that gap in a single $80 device, adding a full streaming interface plus both wired and wireless screen sharing, so any HDMI-equipped projector can function as a smart display without needing a manufacturer-built OS.
Wired vs. Wireless Screen Sharing
Having both options matters for different use cases: wireless sharing is convenient for quick presentations or casual streaming from a phone or laptop, while a wired connection offers lower latency and more reliable performance for gaming or professional presentations where dropped connections aren’t acceptable.
Who Should Buy It
Owners of dedicated home theater projectors without a strong built-in smart platform, and anyone setting up a projector for mixed streaming and presentation use, will get the most value from pairing it with a Google TV Streamer.
