    As long as you have decent Internet the Chromecast is a fantastic addition if you don't have a Google TV. It makes browsing all of my streaming content and interacting with the TV with my phone very easy.

    Very nice user interface. Every app is available from the store. Easy to use remote with voice search, far better than a Roku.

    Fantastic product! It lets you quickly turn any TV into a smart home Cineplex. You can easily find and watch movies from a wide variety of streaming services. Unparalleled ease of use. We do not subscribe to any TV services and don't miss that at all. I have bought half a dozen Chromecast devices via Best Buy for free delivery to family members. Great value!

    Streaming is good and work fine with installed streaming application and I tried to install web browser [ Chrome browser is not available] by enabling developer mode but it is not easy to play with web browser and I was able to install 3 web browser but it does not work properly and it crash and hang with third party web browser. It is good to cast from phone or laptop.

    Important missing/inconvenient features

    I really wanted to love this device and replace my Fire TV Stick 4k with it. But every time I use it I'm reminded why I like the Fire Stick better and where Google is lacking. Pros: Navigation is pretty nice and not really complicated. Picture quality is very good. Scrolling is good enough. Ability to side load apps. Cons: placement of volume button is terrible. Only device I've ever owned with volume on side. Google should just straight up copy Amazon here and just put all buttons on the "face" of the remote and make the remote a bit bigger. No ffw/rew buttons would have been a MAJOR deal breaker for me if I'd thought about it before purchasing. Can't ffw/rew with just press of a button. Very inconvenient. Especially when used to ffw/Rew in 10 sec increments, for example. Although you can side load apps, some never show up in apps list. You have to go into settings and go to installed apps to find/open them. If there was at least a "recently used apps" list on the home screen, like on the Fire Stick, that would be enough, but of course that's something else Google is lacking. Lack of a decent available browser, namely for video playback, is a big disappointment too. Nothing nearly as good or user friendly as Amazon's Silk Browser. Practically never goes on sale vs Amazon devices being on sale almost constantly. I'll probably end up selling this device and just hope for a better, updated version in the future.

    Love this! I'm able to put all my streaming apps together in one place. Also one of the best things that I love about the Chromecast with Google TV is the ability to listen through my headphones or ear buds through Bluetooth for those late night TV watching times. I have purchased 2, one for the front tv and one for the bedroom TV. The remote control is a great addition too.

    Good Product, But Can't Reprogram Shortcut Buttons

    I've owned Chromecast devices since the original, and this one is indeed the Ultra. Easy to set up, easy to operate, reliable. My only complaint is Google is forcing two shortcut buttons on me -- YouTube and Netflix -- and not allowing me to reprogram them. I can access YouTube elsewhere in the Chromecast apps, and I will never subscribe to Netflix again, after their "Cuties" debacle and their Susan Rice board member and Obama relationship. But if you don't have a smart TV that essentially renders the Chromecast Ultra moot, this is worth the $$$.

    Made my old smart TV smart again. So easy to use and set up. It has free TV channels, and the remote is to useful, even had voice command to make searching easier. Highly recommend if you have an old TV that still works just doesn't have all the bells and whistles of the newer ones.

    Chromecast with Google TV 4k- like buying a new TV

    the new Google Chromecast with Google TV 4K has really updated my 5 year old Samsung smart TV.. without me having to buy a new one! No longer have to cast PBS and other apps that weren't available to our older TV because the Home screen allows you to access loads of apps that include PBS, Hoopla (free from our public library) as well as some national network stations. Very pleased with our new tech gadget!
