    Great for anything except Atmos

    Excellent streamer! Great UI and very smooth. All the apps I want and need with a great remote. The only downside is for anyone wanting to get Atmos out of it. Waited three updates to get problem fixed but it still doesn’t work. Any Atmos soundtrack and the sound just doesn’t play on any app. I switched it from my main tv to my room tv where Atmos isn’t needed and it replaced my Fire Cube TV.

    WiFi chip went out on my TV so i couldn't stream anymore. With this low cost investment I was able to start streaming again and I gained access to more options. Also, elected me to connect with Goggle Home.

    I bought this so we can get HBO max, and it doesn't disappoint. The remote is exceptionally easy to use, and it features a dedicated button for Netflix and YouTube. The voice recognition sets the standard in my experience, I think Siri can take a lesson here. The 4k resolution is impressive. Well done.

    Has all the smart apps, but most modern smart TVs have the apps anyway. Most importantly, it allows me to cast in 4K from my computers and devices to the TV. It does this very well. Inexpensive and simple to install and easy to use. Highly recommend.

    It was easy to set up and was able to watch shows within minutes. The controls are easy to navigate once you get the hang of it. The mute button is right next to the power button which can be problematic for some people. Overall, a good product!

    Mediocre disappointment for a 4K streaming device

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

    Cons: Aggregate search feature that is so heavily touted works poorly. For example, a voice search for "InuYasha" instead brings up "InuYasha The Final Act" (the sequel series) and only on Netflix, even though the first 54 episodes are on many services. A voice search for "InuYasha Episode 55" brings up "InuYasha" only on Netflix (which only has 54 episodes) and fails to inform you that episode 55 is on Hulu (supposedly supported by this search feature). Searching "The Empire Strikes Back" only shows results in Disney Plus and in my Google Play library, even though Prime Video, Vudu, and Movies Anywhere are installed. 4K is only 30Hz refresh rate universally on this device (as opposed to the Amazon 4K Fire TV stick at 60 Hz). Movies Anywhere doesn't support 4K on this device. Apple TV is not available on this device. If you have a Fire TV Recast, you cannot use it with this device. You are better off spending the same amount of money on a 4K Fire TV stick and sideloading Vudu (if you use Vudu) using the Android TV version. Pros: Nice UI, similar to Android TV. First Chromecast with a remote and without dependancy on casting. You can still cast to this device just like a legacy Chromecast device.

      Hi Chriv,

      We appreciate your feedback on Chromecast with Google TV. We're sorry to hear of the difficulty you have with the search feature for the Google Assistant and the refresh rate.

      To improve the search experience with your Chromecast with Google TV, we recommend making your voice commands more specific by adding the name of your preferred media service provider (like Netflix, Hulu, Disney Plus, etc.) with the title of the video you want to watch. A good example would be, "Hey Google! Play InuYasha episode 54 on Netflix." You can learn more about voice-supported partners here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/7214982?hl=en

      To get the best experience with the 4K resolution and 60Hz refresh rate for your Chromecast with Google TV, we suggest customizing your video experience by adjusting your display settings. You can follow the steps below:
      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 between Match content and Allow game mode, depending on the features available on your TV.
      4. You may also set it to Resolution & Frame Rate which will let you adjust the screen resolution and frame rate.

      We're always working to improve your experience. Should you still face the same issue, then we may need to have a look into. Please feel free to contact us here: https://support.google.com/chromecast/gethelp madebygoogle

    Absolutely love it, my first gen sony 4k with android tv was starting to have major issues with the OS, got this to help shore everything up. The remote is great, voice searching works fast and gives options to how to watch a specific show, or just searching YouTube. Would recommend to anyone.

    My 2016 Samsung TV has started not getting new apps (Peacock, AppleTv, etc), so I got this. It was easy to setup and works well. Even brought it with on a trip and used it in my hotel room (had to setup my phone as a hotspot to bridge their wifi connection, but not a big deal)

    OMG FANTASTIC! I used to have just a regular chrome cast but if you're inbetween this and the normal one, get this!! The remote is super easy to use, plus the home screen is super personalized. I've used roku, amazon fire sticks and everything in-between but this has been by far my fav purchase for my tv!

    My newest Chromecast works perfectly. We picked it up for a babysitter to use during a wedding. Instead of getting videos, we could just plug in laptops all set up for the 4 year olds.

    I finally bought it. I was long enough for an upgrade and I finally decided to get it. The wait is over and the interface is amazing and so easy to use. Once you link your streaming apps, google will recommend a bunch of shows, movies based on your likes and needs and it's very easy setup.

    Pretty solid

    I already have a smart tv fully loaded with apps, but im slowly adopting the google ecsystem so wanted give this a try. Overall, its solid, but probably a small downgrade from just using LGs built in apps. My biggest issues, its noticeably slower, and not as smooth. Apps take much longer to get a video pumping out than i expected, amazon prime videos taking the longest for some reason. I can click on a video on prime and it loads for 30-50 seconds before playing. The navigation is locked at 60hz, my TV is 120hz, so just browsing on the chromecast vs LG looks much worse. Negatives aside, i love the recommendations tab, the watch tab, and the continue watching tab, they're very convenient. All the shows you're watching across all apps show up on the main menu, vs having to open each app. I usually watch multiple shows at once, so this makes it so much easier so i dont forget any. Overall, its a solid device. If you have a smart tv already like myself, the tabs i mentioned above is worth buying this for by itself.

      Hi there, Chris94! Thanks for trying out Chromecast with Google TV (4K). We appreciate your insights and we’re glad to hear that you’re loving the recommendations tab and other features that you use. However, we do apologize for the less than ideal performance you get with the slow load times when you open up an app or when you play your favorite videos. We're here to help you and we would love to help improve your experience as best as we can.

      If you're having another TV in your home, we recommend trying out your Chromecast with Google TV (4K) with it to see if you will encounter the same issue. Alternatively, most buggy and performance issues can be fixed by resetting your Chromecast device. Keep in mind that this process will erase your data and you may need to set it up again but you still get an out of the box experience by trying it out. Here are the steps:
      With the Chromecast Voice Remote:
      - In the upper right of your TV screen, select your profile and then Settings.
      - Select System and then About and then Factory Reset.
      From the Chromecast device:
      - While the Chromecast is plugged into the TV and powered, press and hold the button on the back of the Chromecast. The LED should start to blink yellow.
      - When the LED light turns solid white, release the button, and the Chromecast should then reset.

      If the issue is still persistent even after resetting, please consider contacting our support team for additional help. You're always welcome to reach out to us here: https://support.google.com/chromecast/gethelp madebygoogle
