Excellent app manager and remote, but not perfect.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my third Chromecast with Google TV - 4K. So all of out TV's are now equipped. This latest one was installed on an older Samsung that does not have Smart Features. So Google TV just makes it a Smart TV as well. Very nice. One downside is that AT&T Streaming does not provide an app for this device. Another is that navigation within different apps is controlled by those apps, so that there are inconsistencies between them.
I would recommend this to a friendNice job Google

I would recommend this to a friendEverything is good except the remote control.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Google Chromecast with Google TV is fast and responsive and once you let Google's algorithms discover your favorite genres, shows, and movies, you'll get good recommendations from a variety of streaming and online services. My one CON about the device is the remote control. I don't like the way the volume rocker is placed on the side being that the control itself is so small. Also, the placement of the power button is awkward being in the lower left corner.....I would have preferred up top somewhere for easier access.

I would recommend this to a friendJust buy a Nvidia Shield, instead.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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 would recommend this to a friendGreat Gadget
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This thing is absolutely fabulous. The 4K resolution is amazing and I don't even have a 4K TV. I will admit it is extremely hard signing into some of these apps on the Google Chromecast simply because you have to activate it on your cell phone or through a website. Some of that is not as straightforward as it could be but it is doable. The only thing that I wish it had or that I wish it could do was rewind or fast forward like the other apps on your cell phone allow you to do.
I would recommend this to a friendBetter than my Roku
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Switched from a Roku, and so far haven't regretted the decision. It's snappy, and easy to find new things to watch.
