    Way better than fire sticks. This thing loads so much faster. The fact that you can play games on it with stadia is awesome.

    Chromecast for a better gaming experience…

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I noticed with my smart tv that when connected to the wifi, it was always using it when watching regular tv and slowing down the computer or gaming consoles. Since getting the chromecast, i turned off the network on my tv and i can just turn off the chromecast when i want to play on my console or computer and it frees up a lot of bandwidth making for a better gaming experience.

    Solid option depending on how many apps you use

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Works great but not enough storage. I can only have a dozen or so apps installed on it without running out of room so I constantly have to cycle apps on and off of it depending on what I'm watching.

    Terrible video quality, easily confused

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The video quality was quite variable -- sometimes worse than an old VCR with blurry sections and pixelization. It improved somewhat when I disconnected every other WiFi device in my home, but that's a heck of a price to pay. You're thinking it was because my WiFi connection is slow, but in all conditions, the picture on my Roku (connected to the same source and watching the same shows on the same TV) was significantly sharper than what I saw on the Chromecast. The Chromecast's picture was particularly bad on YouTube TV where I saw not only quality issues, but frequent buffering with a black screen and spinning circle. Switching to the same show on the Roku always solved this. It's odd that two systems from the same company can't work together properly. My WiFi speed is typically around 15-20 Mbps, so if yours is much faster than that, you may not have the issues I did, but I suspect that you'll get a significantly clearer image on a Roku. I think the Chromecast has a bigger buffer and faster processor, but apparently has no idea how to use them properly. It's also easily confused. Having just finished the first season of a show, I came back later and used the voice command to play that same show. It started showing me episode 10 of the second season. Stuff like this happened fairly often. I really wanted to like this thing. The concept is excellent and it's very good at getting voice commands right. I love that you can ask it to play a show without knowing what app it's on, and the remote is very good once you get used to it (though it should be bigger -- it constantly felt like it was going to slip out of my hand and it often did). The problems are probably in the code rather than the hardware, so maybe they'll be fixed with an update. Unfortunately, my experience with Google is they release stuff, then never fix all the problems with them so I'm not holding my breath.

      Hi BobR,

      Thanks for sharing your feedback with us. We're sorry to hear of the video quality issue you have with your Chromecast with Google TV.

      Chromecast with Google TV was designed and optimized to provide you with the best viewing experience and it requires a high-speed internet connection (at least 20 Mbps or more) to do this. Although, you have the option to customize your video experience by adjusting your display settings on Chromecast.

      To get started, open your “Display & Sound” settings.
      1. Turn on your Chromecast and then at the top right of your TV screen, select your profile and then Settings .
      2. Select Display & Sound.
      3. You’ll have the option to adjust your display settings with Match content, Allow game mode and Resolution & Frame Rate. We recommend selecting Resolution & Frame Rate since this setting will let you adjust the screen resolution and frame rate to your preference.
      4. You can adjust Chromecast to your preferred resolution by selecting Advanced display settings.

    Google Chromecast it’s amazing. I bought it for a 2000 Samsung tv that turn it into a smart tv. And now I’m using it on a 2017 LG tv that the apps stop working. And very easy to use.

    Aggregates favorite streaming services

    This device is adds considerable value to its Chrome Stick predecessor. We are allowed to select our favorite streaming apps to add to our main-screen menu which aggregates all viewing options for quicker selection. the remote controls some tv features, but there is no option to control volume of connected sound system. All in all, it is a valuable addition to our “cut-the-cable” viewing.
