I'm thinking about selling my Xbox One because I never play games on it. However, I do use it all the time for watching Netflix, Amazon Instant, YouTube, and casting movies from my PC over the same network. But the Xbox is a rather expensive device for these functions. I've looked into several devices, but I don't know if any can do everything I need. I'd also like to stream games from my PC to my TV if possible, but not if it lacks any of the previous requirements.
I first looked into the Chromecast as it's price-point is the most appealing to me. It appears it can handle Netflix/Amazon/YT well, but I read it can only display casted videos at 720p at most (forgot the source). I'd really prefer 1080p though. If anyone can clarify Chromecast better, I'd appreciate it.
I've also looked into Amazon fire, Roku, Nvidia Shield Android TV, and Steam Link (when it releases). All of these devices, except Steam Link, seem like they definitely support Netflix/YT, I'm just not sure about the ability to play streamed media from my PC.
Again, any clarification would be much appreciated!
