    Worked right out of the box, our Sharp TV dosn't like the remote but that is not that big of a deal, still works with the chrome cast. Its nice to no longer need a phone to cast from.

    The new Chromecast is a complete overhaul of the $35 original, and every major change -- aside from the higher price -- is for the best. It adds a long-overdue remote control and includes high-end streaming like 4K resolution, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. The revamped Android TV interface, now known as Google TV, is also a major upgrade, with a single unified home page that gathers stuff to watch from across numerous different apps and integrates Google Assistant better than ever.

    By far my favorite device I’ve ever purchased. Just recently bought my parents one for there living room. 4K looks so beautiful and so does 1080p at 60frames surprisingly. You can also by an adapter and expand the storage and run usb devices (keyboard/mouse / controller (if you don’t want to use Bluetooth) sold separately on Amazon or Best Buy. Best streaming device I’ve used yet hands down and I’ve tried them all, don’t hesitate get the google tv Chromecast 4K

    I love the Chromecast with Google TV so much this is so much better than regular Chromecast the interface and being able to see everything really makes a huge difference it's also got a faster processor in it so loading videos is very snappy and load much faster The Voice remote is great and I'm so glad that I can interact with all my other smart devices that are connected to the Wi-Fi I recommend this device to anybody I think it is better than any other smart device I've used on the TV

    Easy to use. I would only change not syncing to the surround sound. The up/down from some reason goes to the max - or when turning on we use the surround sound remote to reduce the volume. I'm not sure if it is the remote or the surround sound that defaults to 100 volume. Other than that plenty of apps, some basic free channels, and when an upgrade comes we can easily switch out vs a build in wifi for a projector.

    • Brand response from Google Team
      Posted .

      Hi there, thanks for sharing your experience about Chromecast with Google TV. We’re sorry to hear that you’re having issues with your Chromecast Voice Remote.

      We recommend checking if the volume control on your Chromecast Voice Remote was properly set up. You may also control the Chromecast volume with your voice, mobile device or smart display screen.

      Here’s How:
      - To start setup, at the top right of your TV screen, select your profile > Setting.
      - Select Remotes & Accessories > Set up remote buttons > Volume control > Chromecast Volume


      Note that you may experience unusual results because of a disparity between the Chromecast volume settings and the volume settings on your TV, receiver or soundbar. For example, if you mute your TV with the remote that came with it, then try to change the volume with your voice, your TV will stay muted.

      If you want us to take a closer look at your device, our support team is always here to help. Fee free to contact our support team anytime We’d be more than happy to assist you here: https://support.google.com/chromecast/gethelp madebygoogle

    Bought this item for me wife to use in her office. Upgraded from a chromecast to Google TV. The remote alone is major upgrade. It feels great and was easy to setup. The response is also great and the ability to add apps instead of just being a streaming device makes it feel more like a media box device like fire tv and apple tv except smaller. You cannot add memory and having a SD slot would have been an improvement... maybe the next version.

    Another awesome way to stream all my favorite shows in crisp 4K! I love the easy setup and how the remote feels comfortable in my hand. The Google TV interface is super user-friendly and helps me find content fast. It supports tons of apps, so there’s always something to watch. The picture quality is fantastic with vibrant colors and smooth playback.

    Excellent dongle with remote. We recently moved from satellite tv to streaming and were looking for an easy to use system. We were already using Chromecast for Netflix, but were tired of using phones to control our programs. This frees up our phones and has all of the programming in one place. We liked the first one so well, we bought two more for the other TV's in the house. I do wish that the volume keys were a little bit easier to manipulate. I often turn up when trying to turn down.

    Great device with some minor incompatibility issue

    This is great and mostly the same as the older versions of the Chromecast I've loved for years however, for some reason this is a bit more finicky about connecting to my phone or computer. Hopefully that's just a bug that will be fixed with time but for now it is somewhat frustrating to not be able to cast from VLC player at all or from my phone as easily. Clearly the intention is for you to use the remote to access youtube through the built in interface however when there are multiple users in the house with different accounts and different subscriptions this isn't a perfect solution. These are all minor gripes though and otherwise it works great!

    Very Good Streaming Device

    The Android TV Software is a really nice alternative to use vs. a Roku or Apple TV. It is easy to set up, the remote is easy to program with your TV and Sound bar, and the picture quality is great. I would give 5 stars, but they need to work on the UI a bit, which can get stuttery at times, along with the way it displays available content to watch. It tends to not test all available providers (i.e, Netflix, Amazon) the same with what it queues up for you to watch. Also, they did not make Google Stadia available at launch, and the only reason I can imagine is that they had to try and sell the rest of their Chromecast Ultra dongles first.
