Google Tv is a gamechanger. I have a smart tv, but opted to use this instead as it is MUCH faster and keeps everything all in one UI. I can also game on it

My parents have an older Sony TV that doesnt have an smart functionalities. They didn’t like how older Chromecasts needed a cell phone/tablet to use and wanted a remote. This turned out to be a perfect purchase for them for its ease of use, great connectivity to Netflix, Disney+, and Apple TV.

I've bought 5 of them. 3 for myself and 2 as gifts. Great value with excellent app support. The user interface is snappy and Google services integration is the best. The YouTube app is updated much more often than on fire or apple devices. The Ethernet adapter is a must for Stadia support.

Easily the best smart stick available. The user interface is clean and simple. If you already have a Google (or YouTube) account it makes setup of this device quick.

A great cost-effective streaming conduit

This great cost-effective streaming conduit is affordable, easy to navigate and hidden. I used to use apple tv and the premium price for those devices is absolutely unreasonable in comparison to this chromecast. The only nuisance with the chromecast is its lack of customizability and the interface can at times be clunky to operate. That said, for its price, it is a no brainer

5 Stars if not for the remote

Pros: Everything but the remote
Cons: Remote
The device itself is quick, responsive,and it does a great job curating content from all your services in one place. I'd consider ditching Roku and buying 3 more of these if not for the remote. Maybe I'll get Shield TV and sideload the Google TV UI.
The remote is definitely the weakest link. It's small, slick, and easy to lose. The ergonomics just aren't there. I prefer the Roku d-pad to the wheel on this. The buttons are a hard, slick plastic rather than rubberized. It lacks dedicated fast forward and rewind buttons. The divot on the back of the remote should also line up with the"okay" button on the front. I hate to harp on the remote so much but TV should be intuitive and enjoyed without having to consciously think about controlling it. This would be 5 stars if not for the remote

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.

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

It's great!!! I have other streaming devices, that are 3 times as expensive and they do not compare to the Chromecast. It takes a little bit to get used to, but then it's smooth sailing. There are a few things I wish it did, like a last channel button when using Live TV, but that's nothing for the price! YOutubeTV is pretty good too

Great experience with the Google TV interface. Very user friendly and integrates very well if you use Youtube TV like I do as it will provide you with all the live content from the app on the "Live" tab. All the most common apps have worked perfect and I have had zero issues with it.

I love this little Google Tv! It is Android based, so there's tons of options for entertainment, including games! 8 Gb of memory seems plenty, but can be filled up quick. Has all the apps you need in Google Play store. Remote easy to use and responsive. Great cord cutter!
