Easy to setup, and works great. Turns an older hdmi tv into a smart tv. Fast and smooth interface.

This turns your smart TV into what you wish it should be. It's a full pledged Android device with custom UI. You can use BT and USB(with powered hub) peripherals, and the availability of many different app and some ability to customize the interface make it much more usable than smart tv interfaces or casting from your devices. The remote is pretty minimalist. I'd love it if they could incorporate small slide out keyboard. I just wish more app was available. You can sideload most of the Android apps, but to be able to install apps from play store, the devs have to make explicit support for Android TV platform, and many hasn't bothered to yet. All in all, a great addition to most TVs.

Google Chromecast has always been a great entry level device for streaming and many have liked that you can just cast from the phone. But there are those, myself included, who prefer a physical remote so the Chromecast was never an ideal solution. Enter the new Google TV Chromecast. While the remote is small and cheap feeling it does exactly as one would expect it to. I was able to program it to my Sonos Playbar and control the volume and it was also able to turn my TV on and off using ARC. The setup process is done through the Google Home app on your phone or other device. The interface is very simplistic yet informative. While it's not as quick as the Nvidia Shields Android TV interface it's still rather fluid. I was able to find any application I wanted to use including HBO Max. The only issue I have with this device is that it's WiFi only. You can make it hard wired up to 100Mbps but only if you purchase a $20 AC Wall adapter from Google. The ethernet port should have been included in the box which is why I docked a star.

I love having all my apps in one place. Google logins makes it even faster to set up. It's far faster than apps in a smart tv.

Chromecast with Google TV is easy to set up and brings all your TV and streaming apps and libraries together in one solution. The mote is easy to operate and has voice control. Its been working great so far!

Much better than the normal chromecast, this one has google tv interface and a control so it's much easier to use. It's also pretty quick. I only wish it had more storage, I often have to uninstall apps or go in and clear cache/data to free up room.

I just bought this, but it works great so far and has a key feature that the reviews and google info didn't make clear what the capabilities are. For the power, input, and volume buttons you can each set them to specific devices. Either through HDMI (CEC control, not familiar) or IR through the remote. This was important to me because I have a soundbar wired through optical. I used to have 3 remotes, a Roku, TV, and soundbar remote, now I just have 1, which IMO is worth $50 just on its own. One other cool feature, for at least Netflix, Google was able to port over my login from my google password sync. It didn't do that for the other services I use, but hopefully all of them adopt it because it was magical having it just work.

The newest version with the google tv is wonderful, the ease of the remote and the interface is so clean and responsive.

The navigation is simple and clear. It moves quickly and cleanly. Well organized. Occasionally an app crashes and there is a storage limit on the number of apps you can download.

So much better than original chromecast. I got tired of not having an ui and only cating from phone. Now has a great android interface, easy to find content and remote is small but does the job. UI is great!

Phenomenal piece of tech Google has created. I purchased this for my father. We cut the cable a couple years ago and have been using YouTube TV and other streaming services. He was connecting his phone to his old chromecast which admittedly gets annoying for everything you do. But with this new Chromecast, everything is right there without the need of connecting your phone. Super easy to set up and navigate. The main screen provides so many recommendations from all the streaming services. It's just great. I highly recommend it to any and everyone that use chromecasts on their homes.

Hands down the best streaming option out there. The remote makes a world of difference and goggle assistant on this thing makes finding things a breeze. Now I wish my TV in the living room was not a dumb Roku.

Really lived its display quality and ease of use and easy to cast from almost any app from a phone or rab. LOVED IT. I gifted another one to my friend and he also loved and enjoying it.

Absolutely loved this product. I specifically bought this hardware to play Fortnite with my 7 year old son. I actually got this particular device as well as the Nvidia Shield Tv which is made to run GeForce Now which is the platform I use to participate in gaming. The $199 price tag on the Nvidia isn't even comparable to the $50 that this system cost me. It was outstanding in every way it possibly could be. It never had any system issues or hardware lags within the tiny shell. I am more than pleased with the purchase I made and would highly recommend this product to anyone who wants to do some light gaming or simply enjoy a streaminh movie on any platform the Play store offers you!

Works great even over time. All the apps needed on one HDMI port!

Google finally perfected casting and the smart tv. This is great for techies and the tech challenged alike because the interface is so easy. 4K looks amazing and it interfaces with theatre equipment very easily.

Easy to use, plug and play! Worked great with an old hisense tv!
