    Completely worth the purchase if you do not own anything that streams Netflix etc.

    I really love the chromecast feature where you can send content from your phone to the tv and the plus side you have the anroid os with downloadable apps and all your content in one place.

    Doesn't get as hot as my old Chromecast. The Google TV is a nice extra but I dont watch much of it. Sometimes the Chromecast can't be found or stops working when there's a change in the programming or broadcast.

    It is a surprisingly great upgrade from the previous version of Chromecast. Google TV built in and google assistant working out of the box is nice. I wish, they allowed Google Chrome browser as a valid app to Chromecast. It would have provided a way to directly use TV as a browser.

    I really like better then Firestick just because I get more apps to work on it. The only thing for it to work properly is that you need your Wi-Fi to the stick is 2.4GHS. 5.0 does not work will.

      Hi there, Aimee. Thanks for the feedback on your Chromecast with Google TV (4K)! It's great to hear you're enjoying its features. We understand your wish for a more flexible power solution. But, the Chromecast with Google TV (4K) does require a wall outlet for power due to its processing power and functionalities. We recommend using the power supply to ensure smooth streaming and the ability to run demanding apps. If you have more questions and other concerns, please feel free to reach out to our dedicated team of specialists on the Google Help Center here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp madebygoogle

    Very excited about this item. However when using on my 4k tv, there was jitter in the picture. I tried every option I could figure out; both in the settings and on the TV (mine is a Samsung 7000 series). If I could get this issue figured out, I would keep it and make it a 4.5 out of 5 which is a good review! However with issue it is a 2/5 and will be a return. Keep in mind that I have the chromecast ultra that works flawlessly on the same tv so I must be missing something or got a defective product

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

      Hi Jason,

      Thanks for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear of the jitter issue with your Chromecast with Google TV.

      Jittery issues with your Chromecast with Google TV may be related to a few factors other than your Chromecast device. We recommend trying out some steps below that might be helpful in resolving the issue:
      - Toggle Wi-Fi off/on your phone.
      - Exit any battery-draining applications that are running on the background.
      - Turn off power saving mode on your device.
      - Decrease the distance between the TV, casting device (phone/tablet/computer), and Wi-Fi router. The distance should be less than 15-20 feet (5-6 meters) apart, ideally within the same room.
      - Keep your phone’s operating system up to date.
      - Unplug both the Chromecast and the router from the power outlet and leave it for at least 2 minutes. After 2 minutes, plug it back in, and wait for it to completely reboot.

      Above steps should isolate and fix the jittery issues, but if it persists, then we may need to have a deeper look at it to come up with a resolution. Please feel free to contact us when you visit this page: https://support.google.com/chromecast/gethelp madebygoogle

    Not just another streaming device but a best bud for the Oculus Quest 2 headset. Purchased it to cast to my TV but have been using it more for streaming services.

    Best Chromecast yet, one of the best UIs. Haven't tried to do anything crazy with it like playing games, etc. I do have a quibble, my one Vizio (I have two) sometimes loses connectivity to it and I have to restart the device. I'm not sure if this is the TV or the device side.
