I already have a smart tv fully loaded with apps, but im slowly adopting the google ecsystem so wanted give this a try. Overall, its solid, but probably a small downgrade from just using LGs built in apps.
My biggest issues, its noticeably slower, and not as smooth.
Apps take much longer to get a video pumping out than i expected, amazon prime videos taking the longest for some reason. I can click on a video on prime and it loads for 30-50 seconds before playing.
The navigation is locked at 60hz, my TV is 120hz, so just browsing on the chromecast vs LG looks much worse.
Negatives aside, i love the recommendations tab, the watch tab, and the continue watching tab, they're very convenient. All the shows you're watching across all apps show up on the main menu, vs having to open each app.
I usually watch multiple shows at once, so this makes it so much easier so i dont forget any.
Overall, its a solid device. If you have a smart tv already like myself, the tabs i mentioned above is worth buying this for by itself.

Hi there, Chris94! Thanks for trying out Chromecast with Google TV (4K). We appreciate your insights and we’re glad to hear that you’re loving the recommendations tab and other features that you use. However, we do apologize for the less than ideal performance you get with the slow load times when you open up an app or when you play your favorite videos. We're here to help you and we would love to help improve your experience as best as we can.
If you're having another TV in your home, we recommend trying out your Chromecast with Google TV (4K) with it to see if you will encounter the same issue. Alternatively, most buggy and performance issues can be fixed by resetting your Chromecast device. Keep in mind that this process will erase your data and you may need to set it up again but you still get an out of the box experience by trying it out. Here are the steps: With the Chromecast Voice Remote: - In the upper right of your TV screen, select your profile and then Settings. - Select System and then About and then Factory Reset. From the Chromecast device: - While the Chromecast is plugged into the TV and powered, press and hold the button on the back of the Chromecast. The LED should start to blink yellow. - When the LED light turns solid white, release the button, and the Chromecast should then reset.
If the issue is still persistent even after resetting, please consider contacting our support team for additional help. You're always welcome to reach out to us here: https://support.google.com/chromecast/gethelp

My newest Chromecast works perfectly. We picked it up for a babysitter to use during a wedding. Instead of getting videos, we could just plug in laptops all set up for the 4 year olds.

WiFi chip went out on my TV so i couldn't stream anymore. With this low cost investment I was able to start streaming again and I gained access to more options. Also, elected me to connect with Goggle Home.

Pleasant surprised with how easy this was to set up. I usually have my husband do these things but I wanted to "cast" Rouvy to my TV so I could cycle on my exercise bike in Ireland. Worked great and I was up and running in just a few minutes. I use it several times a week now. I highly recommend this product!

I love this thing. I got this to cast to my new 4k TV but I don't think I've ever actually cast anything to it because I love the provided Google TV hub. It's extremely well designed and it's easy to go between my different streaming services, youtube, etc.

Overall Good Device - But Problems with 4K Support

Overall it's a great device, but Google did a poor job ensuring 4K, Dolby Vision, and Dolby Atmos would be supported by several streaming apps prior to launch. Currently Disney+ does not support it for Dolby Vision or Dolby Atmos. This is a step backwards from Android TV which at least had Dolby Vision support. VUDU and Movies Everywhere only allows streaming in HDX (1080P) evolution, so no 4K, Dolby Vision, or Dolby Atmos. Again this is a step backwards from Android TV which had 4K, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos support. Hopefully this will get sorted out soon, but if not, I'll be returning the device.

I've only had it for a day but I can already say it's awesome! I've always loved the Chromecast but hated that using it to cast with an iPhone is kind of a pain sometimes. This removes the need to use a phone altogether and works great! I also love that I can control the tv and volume on my receiver with it.

Thanks to the addition of “...with Google TV” and the great remote control and voice control option, the latest Chromecast is not only the best yet but it’s one of the very best 4K video streamers around. It's easy to find what you want, the video quality is excellent, and there's impressive audio. It's missing a few built in apps, but overall it's an excellent choice.

It's great. I cannot download IMDB, which is downer. But it's so easy to use and I love how everything is centrally formatted. The main issue is the design. It is so small I sometimes press the wrong button. It would be easier to manage if it was flat like the Firestick..but that doesn't take away from it's performance.

Bought this as a gift and the person I gave it to replaced a regular chromecast and said this is light years ahead of the regular chromecast. With the remote it basically turns your TV into a Google/Android TV. You can still use it to cast things from your phone or tablet but you get easy to use menus right on your TV.

This device gave a breath of new life to our old tv with working display but no smart capabilities. Only one remote needed for all our needs. It is fast and very user friendly, definitely upgrade from other stick devices. Hoping it is more durable than the other stick devices we had as well, will update if any changes.

My uncle likes to watch tv outside. He uses the dish tv app to cast to his old google cast device. Was slow and would sometimes crash. So I upgraded him to the new 4k cast and he loves it! Clearer picture and very fast response.

This Chromecast made hotel stays more enjoyable! Very intuitive, setting up hotel wifi password is so easy while the old Chromecast wont even connectas most hotels have built in restrictions to such devices. There wont be traveling for me without it.
