- A: AnswerNot unless you would plan to buy a 4k tv later.I am using mine on a analog tv with analog to digetal converter.The other thing is if it is 4k and is what it will be trying to show on your tv,may use a lot more of your internet band width and you aren't getting any better reception.

Q: QuestionCan you still cast to this device to whatever dumb tv it is plugged into?(2 answers)
A: AnswerYes. Chromecast is a streaming device designed to work optimally on any display with HDMI input, regardless of TV brand. You need a mobile device to set up Chromecast, and to cast any of your cast-enabled video streaming apps that are already on your mobile device (phone or tablet) or computer and stream them on a bigger screen for a better experience.Answered by Google Team
- A: AnswerThis device has streaming apps on there such as Amazon Prime video, Netflix, Hulu etc... And you can also cast to it using your phone or tablet. I believe you can stream almost anything on there.
Answered by VailA
- A: AnswerMost tvs have three out ports.You can put different devices on these ports with selective channels.If your old tv is analog go to ebay and buy a $10.00 analog to digetal converter and hook it to one of the unsed tv ports.

Q: QuestionCan I stream content from my PC?(3 answers)
A: AnswerYes. You can cast through your laptop or PC using a Chrome browser. You have the option to cast a tab or your entire computer screen. Check this link for more details: https://support.google.com/chromecast/answer/3228332Answered by Google Team
- A: AnswerHi there! Thanks for your question. While it's possible to connect the Chromecast directly to your TV's USB-A port using the USB-A end of the cord, we don't recommend it. The reason is that the TV's USB port might not give enough power for the Chromecast itself to function properly, it might cause a problem on both devices in the long run — We hope you find this information helpful.

It’s like having a computer as a TV
If you have a slow TV buying the google dongle will completely take that burden away and it’s cheap. I literally got one for my sister myself in my room and the living room. But the best part is not only does it make your WiFi look expensive but it has google play store if you know you know.
