    I have a 2014 64 inches Samsung Plasma Smart TV that has everything but apps... So with this Google TV I can use HBOmax, Hulu, Disney+, Star+ and almost any streaming service I need.

    Best chromecast yet. Google TV is great. It is almost perfect. Three upgrades which are likely coming with a firmware upgrade or add-on: separate user accounts and Stadia support. Perhaps an auxiliary ethernet plug in. The price is amazing.

    It was great when this was first released, but now its nowhere near as snappy as it used to be. Sometimes pressing up or down button, there is a good 3-5 second delay. Hoping an update will fix this. The good thing is it has apps only Google/Android TV has, including international apps.

    All is great, except I'm not sure if it's because my TV is older but after a while it will go to a blue screen, so I have to stop movie back out then continue where I left off. It's kinda a pain, don't know why but like I said I do have an older TV that's not really smart.

    As the advertising suggests, it helps extend the life of my old TV by giving me access to new features, especially streaming services. The great integration with Google services, such as You Tube video and music, is also a plus.

    I decided to try this streaming device to compare it to the Amazon 4k firestick. This device works really well and using it over the firestick now. I highly recommend this product. By the way it operates off of the Android operating system.

    Doesn't live up to the hype. It's ok if you need a budget streaming device but if that's the case you're better off going with a Roku or Fire TV stick. The Chromecast with Google TV is buggy and the interface lags, I spent a week going back and forth with Google customer support due to issues with 4k HDR and Dolby Vision content showing up as pink and green and judging from posts I've read online other users have had the same issues. After not getting much help from support and resetting the device 8 times it sort of "fixed" itself, go figure. Chromecast fans will praise it to high heaven but compared to other devices this one doesn't deliver how it should. It's more like a beta than a real public release.

    The only thong i don’t like about this is that the remote is very sensitive so you have to get used to that

    Over the years, I have owned multiple streaming devices - from the Apple TV, to Shield TV, and I always found myself wanting more. The Chromecast with Google TV is the best blend of features, portability and price. Absolutely recommend.

    The remote is not the greatest thing about the device. It's fast and reliable but I really dislike the remote. If your TV supports HDMI link and you can use your TV remote then get it no doubt. Much better than stock Samsung UI.

    Literally... a best buy. It is the best Chromecast device. You can download and easily access all your streaming apps. Additionally, it pairs with all sort of headphones and other Bluetooth devices. Worth every penny.
