Excellent Streaming at an Affordable Price
||Posted .Chromecasts have long been something I've ignored because I don't like the idea of having to use my phone to cast to my TV for everything I watch. However, when Google announced their "Chromecast with Google TV" I was very intrigued at the mix of a streaming device with the ability to Chromecast. So far, I am quite happy with my purchase! SET-UP: - Unboxing and first impressions are always great with Google Products. They have a great way of making the unboxing process simple while providing a product that's uniquely Google. - I really go like the feel and look of the Chromecast and Remote. They are modern yet simple and feel very good in the hand, not too cheap at all. - Set-up was mainly simply but had a few hiccups. Google says you can use the "Google Home" app to do all your setup for you but I have largely found that the Google Home can be the most useful app I have while also being the most frustrating when setting up a new product. - I eventually ditched using the Google Home app and did the setup just via the remote and that was very simple and straight forward. After a little bit to download new firmware updates and download all my apps, I was ready to go! PROS: - I really like the interface! It's smooth, easy to maneuver, and when in doubt just ask Google where something is. - Speaking of which, the Google Assistant button is a fantastic addition. Use it for asking everyday questions or use it to find "movies that won Oscars in the 2000's" really whatever you need it to do! - The device uses your app subscriptions (Netflix, Hulu, HBO Max, Disney+...) to recommend TV and Movies you might want to watch. I really like how it does not push you to watch something you have no interest in or don't even have a subscription too. The whole add-less vibe feels nonintrusive and makes for a more personal experience. - If you have YouTube TV, this Chromecast is a must have! Google TV integrates Live TV right into the menu so you can quickly browse what's on air right now without having to open the YouTube TV app. I really like that because it makes the home menu screen your go to place to find anything you subscribe too. - The "Chromecast" feature of this Google TV device is also very easy to use! It syncs up with your Google Home Devices or phones so that if you are watching a video or streaming Spotify, you can just quickly cast it to your TV with the touch of a button. Or, simply say "Hey Google, play Netflix on my TV" and it can do that too without you even touching the remote. - Watching shows & movies on here is truly a great experience too! The 4K HDR is vibrant and crisp, it has Dolby Vision for movies/TV that it applies to, and Dolby Atmos for superior home theater sound quality. All three of those qualities are an absolute must for the best home theater experience and you are getting them all for only $50. CONS: - The one app that I wish this had is "Apple TV". I know Google/Apple don't usually get along, but I do with the Apple TV app was on here for those who want to stream "Apple TV+" - This isn't a con for me but although you don't need Google services (Like Google Smart Speakers, Android Phone, & YouTube TV) to enjoy this Chromecast, I would imagine that your experience would not be as great as mine without all those devices/services. - I think the "Library" section of the Home page is really lacking on 2 parts. First, if you have a large library of movies you digitally own, they will show in your library but its in one long scrollable line. Rather then a sortable area where you can view 20 movies at a time, its really just a long single line list where you can see 5 at a time. Second, Google TV is trying to push its "Watchlist" feature where from an Android phone you can easily add a Show/Movie to your watchlist and it will appear on your Google TV. But at the time of writing this, the Google TV app is not available on Android phones yet and hasn't even been announced on Apple phones yet. BOTTOM LINE: - If you are looking for a simple, easy to use streaming device but has all the high end specs you would want at a low price, the Chromecast with Google TV is an absolute no brainer. It is simple to use, has a great interface, and has all features you would want from a higher end streaming device (4K HDR, Dolby Vision/Atmos, Voice Commands). I really think Google TV is going to be a great solution for many home's entertainment needs!

Pretty awesome device
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This is the most amazing product from Google I've owned yet. I purchased this initially to upgrade my older Chromecast. Everything about this "Google TV" is 1000x better than what I owned previously. I can now view my content in 4K which the older model could not do, and it has a great interface. It's Android 10 over the Google TV UI, and it's pretty appealing. I can easily ask Google to find something particular to watch and it'll do it. This thing will search movies across different apps to find exactly what you're looking for. What makes it even better is that it still has it's cast function. so you have the option to use the Google TV remote or cast from your Android phone like normal. I was hesitant at first, and I wish I had mad this purchase sooner. You can even control all your google connected with the remote included. For example I use my Google Home to control my AC, but I can also with my remote in hand tell the Google remote to turn the AC on or off, and it does it. Even quick than my home can which is pretty neat. If you were ever indecisive about buying this device then I hope this review helps you. You're gonna love this Google TV. For $50 you can't go wrong.

The BEST 4K streaming device at $50, PERIOD!
||Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This is my 3rd Chromecast w/Google TV. I have it connected to a 55 in C8 OLED and WOW, this thing looks amazing (thanks to Dolby Vision) and looks just as good as an Apple TV 4K that cost 3x as much. If you’re looking for an inexpensive alternative to an Apple TV, this is what to buy. I have it paired with a Google Home Mini and I’m able to control most functions just using my voice which is leaps of ahead of Apple along with Siri. I couldn’t recommend this product enough. It won’t replace my Apple TV 4K in the living room but every other room in the house, including the master bedroom has one of these. If you’re on the fence, don’t even think about it, just get it. You won’t regret it. For $50, this truly is an excellent product. At the time of purchase, I got mine for $39.99 so even more of a reason to buy one but would gladly spend $50 on it without hesitation. My only complaint is the remote feels a bit cheap but that’s because I’m comparing it to that of the Siri Remote but at $50, it’s a small sacrifice I’m willing to make.

Excellent Upgrade from the older version. 4K!
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This was an upgrade to my older Chromecast as I wanted 4K UHD support, Which this one does. The interface if very cool. Found how to side load other apps like Plex. It can be your go to for all your streaming. I have it connected to my Yamaha RX-V685. Both support ARC. Really having fun with this new model. Additional programming for Free and if you have Google TV this is a MUST have! Voice active as well with Google Home.

Replaces TV remote!!!!!
||Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.Easily the best 50 bucks I've spent! All apps consolidated into one. You can open apps individually or search everything with voice. Controls tv volume and power!!!!! 1 remote for everything. And it looks sleek and elegant, as to be expected. ***Note: plug in directly to wall outlet; if plugged in to tv usb it will have to reboot each time, AND the tv power button won't work.

Predictable Disappointment
||Posted .Owned for 5 months when reviewed.I like Google, but their tendency to release half-baked products/services is getting very old, and Chromecast with Google TV is no exception. Its main selling feature is the unification of streaming services, placing the "Continue watching" section on the home page, allowing you to jump straight into whatever show you want without having to first think of which streaming platform it's on currently. Sounds great, right? Well, in practice this feature is so poorly implemented that it's actually more of a hassle than it is a convenience, and I've since switched back to Roku. Please see attached photo for a visual. Shows and entire streaming services randomly don't appear in this section. Some shows display a title card, while others pull a random still image from the previous episode. Some shows display text information, such as the title of the show and episode, while others display data like "Netflix - S5 Ep16" or "Hulu - S1 Ep5 - Jersey Devil" (the name of the episode, but not the show). Most of these might sound like minor annoyances, but in the attached example if I were to select Seinfeld or the show to the right of it (Curb Your Enthusiasm), one of two things would happen: either the episode will restart from the beginning, or it'll resume on the credits. Neither of these make sense in a finished product from one of the largest companies in the world, operating in one of the most lucrative industries (streaming). Google would, presumably, place the blame here on the streaming providers, but regardless this product/feature was not ready for release, and as of July 2022 I still wouldn't recommend it.

Watch out Nvidia Shield
||Posted .Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This is a game changer. I bought my second a few months ago. I love them so much. I went in to check on the pricing of a third one Nvidia Shield. And decided to give this a try I'm so glad I did. My only complaint would be that I've only had it for a couple of days and the keys are already staining. I may have handled some turmeric. But I take that everyday so it would be a problem if it gets worse,

Q: QuestionDo you need a separate device to cast with?
Asked by Vinegr.
- A:Answer No. Its not like other Chromecast devices where you cast from a phone or computer. Google TV has its own interface where you add all your apps. All you need is the Google Home App on phone for the initial setup.

Q: QuestionThe Chromecast Ultra puts a warning on the screen if it's plugged into my TV for power instead of the power adaptor. Does this Chromecast work in 4K without warnings when powered by a USB 3.0 5V 1A port?
Asked by Chappie.
- A:Answer If your TV has a USB 3 it will work, other wise it won't. USB 2 will give a wall outlet error, 1 -1.4 amp will give a boot loop, 1.5+ will work

Q: QuestionIs there a version of this which works with Apple devices?
Asked by jumps.
- A:Answer We have three iPhones and to ipads in the house. It functions just like any other Chromecast for devices connecting to it. So yes Apple devices work with the Casting feature. The Google TV feature is explicitly for TV sets and the experience is like AppleTV in that regard. But the nice part about this product is you get both.

Q: QuestionJust to be perfectly clear: Does the device itself need to be connected to AC power from the wall with a wall wart? Is one included? If so, then I conclude the two AAA batteries are for the remote. Is this correct?
Asked by MikeLA.
- A:Answer Yes the main device does need to be plugged into a power supply that is plugged into the wall that has a 5 foot cord included. The included batteries are for the remote only. The plug is a little large so if on a power strip you may need to skip the plug next to it. The main reason for this is to get unrestricted power that the back of your TV might or might not offer on a USB. Some TV's do not supply power to the USB outlets when the TV is off and the power output can also very so to make sure the unit is always powered they have you plug into a wall outlet so you can ask any Google Assistant device around the house to play something on the TV and it would Turn ON the TV and play. Here is how it works you say to a Google Hub or Google Assistant device "Hey Google play Fargo on Livingroom TV" Google will say back "Here's is Fargo on Netflix on Livingroom TV". What will happen is the TV will turn ON (because it gets info over the HDMI to not only turn the ON the TV if it is Off but also change to the correct HDMI input that the device it plugged into) and the show Fargo will start playing on Netflix Living room TV. I should say wile all this works great in some areas there a still a number of problems. If you want to watch the newer Fargo on Hulu, not the older Fargo on Netflix you would have to say "Hey Google play Fargo on Hulu on Livingroom TV". This should be the end of story but the new 2020 Google Chromecast with Google TV does not respond on Hulu to play but only brings up the show and you would then have to walk across the room pull out the remote select Play to play the show Fargo on Hulu. This is not true for the now discontinued Google Chromecast Ultra 4k, that device will play Fargo on Hulu all by voice, in part because that device did not come with a remote. But back to your point the older Chromecast Ultra 4k also is designed to be plugged into a wall outlet for the same reason, to work even if the TV is Off. Some of the dongles like Roku plug into the back of the TV but will not always turn the TV on if it has been off for a wile.

Q: QuestionDoes it have a browser? Can I surf the web?
Asked by Sammy.
- A:Answer There's no browser built in though you can download browsers from Google Play store. Few of them are optimized for Android TV. Even so, the experience is not great because of limited input control. I'd rather use browser of cellphone and cast phone screen to it.
Answered by bennyw
Q: QuestionCan I utilize both chromecast and Roku on same screen?
Asked by Linda.
- A:Answer If your Television has two unused HDMI ports, you may attach a Chromecast and Roku player on the same screen; one device per HDMI port. You can watch content on the screen one streaming player at a time, but 99% of TVs do not allow the user to watch content from two streaming players at once. It's like asking if you can utilize a Blu-Ray player and a Roku at the same time; you can use them one at a time, but you can't watch both devices at once. Honestly, most people don't need to have two streaming players on one TV. If you are new to streaming players, either one is great unless you want to watch HBO Max. In that case, Chromecast can show HBO Max, not Roku. Roku does have ads on its screen, but they are not that bothersome. The voice assistant on Chromecast is definitely better than the one on Roku. I personally use Roku, and it fulfills my expectations already. If you have a Roku TV, the Chromecast will work with Roku TV. Just attach the Chromecast to the Roku TV via an HDMI port.
