    This has become my go to streaking device. I use it to watch Netflix, Amazon Prime, DS Video, Apple TV, Vudu, etc. If it has one weakness is that it doesn’t support AirPlay. I use a Roku stick when I want to use AirPlay

    Very easy to use. Pretty simple interface and good resolution, in my opinion the best bang for your buck. Only thing i believe its lacking is the menus lag a bit, as in you click on something and it takes a second for it to load.

    We have 5 TV's in our house, and all but one of them are smart TV's. This clever little device turned that TV into a smart TV. All the most popular streaming apps like Hulu, Netflix, Disney+, etc. are available through Google TV. Also casts shows, videos, etc. to your TV like a traditional chromecast. Wish we had gotten it sooner.

    I have tried them all (Except apple tv tbh because of the price). This have topped them all and is my first choice due to simplicity and power. I like the design, interface and top of that now you can connect stadia to play AAA games on it. Don't think twice if you are looking for a great streaming device on a good price.

    If you need a streaming stick/box get this for 40$ it is amazing and beats out the Apple TV and fire TV. The only reasons not to get it is if you need airplay or if you need to stream games then you should look at the Nvidia shield

    I got this because webOS wasn't doing it for me (hbo max). Plus the Google tv interface is so much better than webOS. If you have an LG TV, get this! You do have to go into display settings and switch on "match content". Because if you don't, all the apps will be in dolby vision and the content will be overblown when it comes to the picture.

    I like the device, it has a good layout and pleasant interface with good suggestions for things to watch but I am finding things that do not work with Google TV like AT&T TV Now and unfortunately that is the service I am using. Also in comparing to Fire TV 4K I am seeing it is a little slower but not to the point that i would not recommend it. Remote is nice size but missing rewind and fast forward buttons and volume is on right side that is proving to be inconvenient.

    It's worth it way better than a Roku. So far I have one in the living room and one in my bedroom they work perfectly. The remote doubles as a TV remote or soundbar remote as well. If you have Bluetooth headphones you can connect it to the device for private listening which is awesome and works well. The same can be done with your Google Home speakers.

    Over all great picture. 4k resolution. Steam Dolby Atmos signal from provider. "Received if your TV is Dolly digital" and tuner/soundround sound is Atmos certified. Totally enjoy it. Can control via any Android phone or tablet. Remote control easy to use, but, too bad it's not backlit. Over super operating system.

    Google TV and Youtube TV perfectly done!

    The streaming device that gets giving you just your apps at a glance or all the content that you might like, RIGHT! I didn't have much luck with the Roku layout and the Fire Stick was so proud of it own products it didn't leave room for much else. While I do love my YouTube TV (YT TV) it's far better on the Google TV platform (the best DVR out there too!). At first I wasn't a fan of this device because it was turning off with the TV all the time and literally took over a minute and half to start up. But updates and settings have changed that and it's ready on when the TV fires up. They also just put out an update that allows you to change the dedicated YT button to YT TV which is even more useful for those of us with it! The Google assistant is really good at pulling up proper content and showing you how you can watch it. While I gave it 5 stars I will say I am not 100% sold on the design of the remote. It's slippery and all the buttons are raised up off the body of the remote which makes it easy to accidently hit any and all of the buttons!! Our dog has become a professional channel surfer ... with that being said I am also sure a $5 silicon cover will 100% solve these issues when some Chinese company finally sells them ...

    It partially works with Samsung 8 Series TV

    I'm not sure if the dongle is defective but it will not play 4k content. I have it plugged in directly to the tv and with the power adapter it came with. The Samsung 8 Series TV plays 4k content through it's own tv apps and also from a 4k disc player. I installed the movies anywhere app, opened the app and selected the movie I wanted to see. In the movie info section it had a note stating this device does not support 4k. I tried casting to the Chromecast using Movies Anywhere and Vudu, both failed to play in 4k. The Movies Anywhere & Vudu app just won't recognize it as a 4k device. These apps will only play in HD. I love the remote, it actually controls the volume on my AV receiver. It also turns on and off the tv. Loading apps is a bit quicker than the Samsung TV apps but not that much faster. The only reason I purchase this device was because I need a device to cast my apps to the tv but this failed to deliver in 4k. I guess I will continue to use my Samsung TV apps to view my favorite movies and tv shows and my old regular Google Chromecast for casting.

    It has a nice interface and easy to add those not so legal steaming apps to. But it ran out of space while I was streaming a. 3gb movie. In 2020 this is uncalled for this thing should have like 64 gb from the factory. Other than that it's alright. If you want those illegal movie apps on your TV and want to get to them easily then get this but other than that get something cheaper.

    My tv doesnt have the applications like the Google Chromecast does. It is really affordable and I love the features on it. Makes watching tv more enjoyable with Netflix, Hulu, YouTube and other apps all ready in hand.
