||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bot exactly 'plug and play' Can't use when traveling if the TV remote can't change inputs. Hard to login to hotel WIFI networks. Would be a good alternative to a SmartTV at home.

Big power in a mini form!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I brought the Chromecast mainly for the mirroring capability forgetting its a mini powerhouse of it's own.
I would recommend this to a friendBest streaming stick/device
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best streaming stick/device. Prefer to have Roku built in to the TV, but if not a smart tv, then I prefer this stick. Voice search is the best in the business. Has all of the apps.
I would recommend this to a friendGoogle is great! Love their products.

I would recommend this to a friendGreat features
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Has some really great features. Shows you content from all different streaming services on one home screen. I also bought the ethernet adaptor which it doesn’t come with but has definitely improved the connection.
I would recommend this to a friendGoogle for the Win!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The google chromecast with google tv is a great streaming device. I purchased because Roku was stopping the Youtube TV support. The screen casting is nice when using your phone or computer.

Posted .Hi Hbomb188, we're glad to hear that you love the UI works well for you, and that you're loving the YouTube button. However, we do apologize for the sluggish performance you experience on Chromecast with Google TV (4K).
Chromecast devices typically require a high speed Internet connection of at least 20 Mbps and a reliable Wi-Fi network. We recommend checking if your current Internet bandwidth is possibly congested, or that it may not be enough to enable the best viewing experience with Chromecast. Removing some of your connected devices to free up some bandwidth space, and trying out Chromecast will help verify the issue. If you verify congestion, we suggest contacting your Internet service provider to check your connection and upgrade it if needed.
If the issue persists even after upgrading your connection, please consider contacting our support team for further help here: https://support.google.com/chromecast/gethelp

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Still able to cast from your phone but now organized with recommendations and a remote? Yes please! Great little device. Only downside is WiFi only. But they do offer an adapter if you need it. Sold separately.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat Product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great. I have it plugged into a Pioneer receiver and does 7.1 surround....except on youtube, because youtube does not support any bass surrounds. Highly recommend. Much better than the first gen chromecast.
I would recommend this to a friendNice product
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my second purchase of same product, i like this product very much. never felt any delay in UI response and work like charm.
I would recommend this to a friendGood
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Makes any display a google tv. Good for use around the house.
I would recommend this to a friendThe device is "Beta" quality at best!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The new device seems to be "Beta" quality at best. In the last 3 hours I've had it, I have run into a few issues: 1. The display keeps switching randomly to 1080p randomly. It comes back to 4K 60Hz on its own - it seems random but this is a big bummer. 2. Though I have turned on "Match content for Dynamic Range" setting, this does not work across all apps. For example, on Movie Anywhere, HDR/Dolby Vision does not kick in at all. It seems to work on Netflix most of the time though. 3. The GUI is clunky and sluggish compared to Apple TV 4K or Nvidia Shield Pro. When navigating, I've had the GUI freeze on me a dozen times in the last 3 hours. 4. The colors in HDR/Dolby Vision mode seem more muted than ATV/Shield. I am wondering if this has something to do with the Color Space not being switched properly or something? Tried it with my LG OLED as well as Samsung QLED - colors appear muted in HDR mode. 5. The Atmos seems to (slightly) lack punch compared to ATV (same with 5.1 surround). As someone pointed out on another thread, sound is loud but not as crisp as ATV. 6. I configured my Harmony Elite remote (Manufacturer: Google, Device: Chromecast with Google TV) - and the "back' button does not seem to work. Other than the aggregated view from various apps, so far I have not found anything worthy enough to replace my Apple TV 4K or Nvidia Shield with this device. I will probably return this and stay with my current devices.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendMy 2nd Purchase
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The second best Android set top device behind the aging but glorious NVIDIA Shields. Great for secondary TVs around the house.

Wonderful upgrade.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Totally worth the upgrade. The platform allows you to watch all of your streaming services in one place. I love the mic feature it saves me from having to look for what I am trying to watch.
I would recommend this to a friendA Quality Streaming Stick….. in beta
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall a great product, the remote works well and the UI is simple to manage. Has just about any streaming service you could want and easily searches all of them with the Google Assistant. But there are some issues, and when I say issues I mean bugs. Because Google TV is a new product many developers have not resolved small quality of life bugs. There are several examples of this, Amazon Prime has a bug that causes audio latency, Disney+ does not recognize my Atmos speakers, and many other apps have failed to recognize my displays resolution and HDR capabilities. None of these issues are Google’s fault, but they significantly detract from the overall experience. Ultimately the Google TV will be a great product, but right now there is a steep early adopters fee for those who have higher end tv and sound.
