    Got this for my older parents so they could find all their shows and apps in one place. Took them a minute to adjust to using it but now they can use it well on their own.

    Ease of Use is unreal. Just plug and play on any 4k display (or other resolution) Boom. Great wifi chip in this thing.

    Love it! I also have an Nvidia shield and it is nearly just as good and for 1/4th the cost. Can't beat it seriously!!!!

    I don't know why I thought I'd get an experience as I have with the Nvidia Shield. It's not bad, it's a definite upgrade from just casting and it's significantly cheaper than an Nvidia Shield. It's got apps, it's got a guide and works well with YT TV, but this is where the experience starts to change. It takes a long time to load from clicking on the show in the guide(under the Live Tab) and my wife has a channel lineup different than mine and I can't change that unless I log her out of chromecast and log me in. Then she has to log me out and log herself in for her channel lineup. Cumbersome at best. It also experiences in Netflix, hulu and Disney plus a frame drop or stutter, this had been reported as well as the logging issues to google in November by many people. Neither to this date have been fixed. And these issues arent present on same tv with Nvidia Shield. It has had issues rejoining wifi. And the reboot button is so buried in the device settings you should just get up and pull the power on the thing and plug in an Nvidia Shield. I know I'm being harsh, and the Shield isn't without it's issues. But this "Google Tv" didn't even have Dolby Atmos at launch. For delay in updates and fixes. I truly suggest getting an Nvidia Shield instead. Yeah I know 149$ is the cheapest shield (199 worth it don't cheap out) and that's more expensive than this Google TV but I wouldn't even recommend this to my mother in law. I can't take the random phones calls at 2am cause something isn't working on it. Just buy the best android tv experience, buy a Nvidia Shield!

    I've switched over from the Apple ecosystem to Google. Let me tell you, its no Apple TV 4k but it gets the job done and for more than half the price.

    Cheaper than the extra money for a smart TV. Works just like Google TV, very easy to use. Always loved Roku but Google has become superior.
