    The old Chromecast had quit working. This one was to replace it. Pleasantly surprised at it's great speed and with the remote. Remote a little small but effective.

    I use this all the time now. My TV is a little old now and using the built-in smart services can be very slow and laggy, but chromecast runs perfectly and has even more options. The only thing that would have made it better is if the remote had some kind of grip to it. It's very small and slick, so it falls and hits the ground a lot. Still works so far, though!

    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.

    Easier to use than I anticipated but would work better if my Samsung wasn’t so old. The setup was very simple but be sure to uncheck the items you do not want Google to have access to.

    It is easy to use and setup. The 4k looks great on it. The recommendations are great it tells you what service is playing the movie or tv show at. Overall it is more user friendly than Roku.

    The overall features that this little dongle packs in are wonderful. Having the ability to stream 4k content is an added plus. Having the remote included is also a game changer for google tv.

    I've had one of the original Chromecasts for years, and recently only used it to watch a couple apps that are not supported on my LG OLED. After getting tired of the phone controls, I purchased this new Chromecast and I wish I had done so sooner. I don't even bother using the built in TV apps anymore, the Chromecast does it all and the remote can control my TV and Sonos speakers as well. I've had the Chromecast for a couple months now and once or twice I've had to cycle the power to get it to work correctly, but it is been trouble free for the most part.

    I had been using the built-in smart-TV functionality of my budget Vizio set for a couple years, and the experience was, let's just say, not great. To be fair to Vizio, they kept the apps updated and the appearance fresh on their operating system, but the input lag was... rough. I believe Vizio's hardware options were limited in order to reach such a low price point, though. It is what it is. That's where the latest generation Chromecast comes in. The Chromecast user interface is buttery smooth. Pair that with the solid 1080p Vizio display, and now I've got a decent budget TV with killer smart functionality.

    These are my preferred method of streaming media to the TV's in my house. I have these fitted in every room, and it makes streaming content an absolute breeze. The remote is great, my kids are able to navigate to their content easily. I typically cast from my phone, but both options are fantastic. The option to program the remote to also work on the TV itself as well as a soundbar leaves me with no complaints what so ever.

    Google TV is hit or miss. The audio requests often fail to pull up the first movie or show in a series. Often you'll get a youtube song instead of the video shown on youtube. Apps often fail to rewind with audio requests. You're better of using the remove. At least the remote is spot on though! Picture quality is good, when it works. Often it loses license information trying to access Disney+, and requires a reload of the app. Hulu sometimes doesn't return video after an advertisement. I have to unplug and reset the unit once every week or two when it locks up. Even with the above issues, it's still superior to the built in TV apps, so there's that. Just be prepared for some legwork here and there.

    This was easy to set up, which I did in a temporary location, and did finally figure out how to reset the wifi for its permanent home. Just remember that although you may have access to all these locations on the web, you more than likely will need a subscription to use them. My only problem with using this, is that I'm out in the middle of nowhere, and have to use satellite for internet. Now satellite internet is (sort of) okay, but you pay dearly for your data, which means that you can't just watch what you want, because you will use up your (very) limited data limit in no time at all. So... This is very good for city folk, but limited for satellite dependent folk.

    The Google Chromecast is the best. When it first came out in 2015 I purchased one it lasted me 4 + years. I heard that they were going to no longer be selling Chromecast. When I heard that I immediately going to Best Buy to purchase one. Actually I went back another time and purchase another one so I have to new Chromecast. I love the fact that I can cast whatever I want from my phone, tablet or computer to my television. Also I have some foreign subscriptions that I can get on my phone and test them right to my television. I have nothing bad to say about the Google Chromecast.

    Don't have a smart TV? Or don't like the "smart features" that came with your smart TV? Cough, cough... WebOS on LG TV's. Then this is a great option to just plug in. Comes with Google's Android TV, much smoother experience and it also retains Google's Chromecast features. It is a great all-in-one package. It works with 4K, which is great for modern 2021 and beyond televisions, with the ever-increasing demand to stream to the TV with a growing library of apps to choose from. It also supports HDR, Dolby, and Wi-Fi 6 which is excellent if you have a Wi-Fi 6 capable router/modem.
