    Chromecast with Google TV - 4k

    I love this thing. I got this to cast to my new 4k TV but I don't think I've ever actually cast anything to it because I love the provided Google TV hub. It's extremely well designed and it's easy to go between my different streaming services, youtube, etc.

    This has made tv time with the family so much nicer! I often talked about wishing I could search for a movie or tv show, and see which streaming service(s) offered them. This delivers on that wish, and offers plenty of features including google cast, ability to view google photos, and voice commands that provide a fluid streaming expirience!

    Best $50 media Streamer out there

    Nice form factor and I love the remote compared to a chromecast. Being a Nvidia Sheild user I wanted the Android TV experience for a cheaper price for my family room. However, this doesn't have Android TV, this has Google TV. I thought it would be the same but it's not. Android TV has the Play Store, Google TV does not. There's also ads. For $50 you can't beat it. Way better then a roku or fire stick.

    This remote is awesome. I have a tv in my rental that’s smart, however it’s an older version of smart. I was not getting current apps, but with this remote I was able to access all apps via the old tv.

    Google TV is such a great ecosystem for watching all of your favorite streaming services. Having access to the Play Store is also a huge plus for some of the hard to find apps that do not come on the other streaming devices. 100% recommend this to anyone even if you already have a smart TV.

    I really like the interface of this product… Google TV has the best experience in my opinion (compared with fire tv, Roku and Apple TV). I’ve been using for more then a year right now and my only complaint is about the speed of response that sometimes has a lag… not bothers at all but if faster could offer a better user experience.

    Great device... Takes all of your streaming services and blends them together in an easy to navigate suggestion based home screen. Seems to start streams fast than all of the other sticks and chromecast that I have owned. I highly recommend, especially if you are a cord cutter with multiple streaming subscriptions.

    Read the reviews, seemed the perfect option to access HBO Max. Very easy to use and access all content from different apps in one place. Costs a little more than Roku or Fire Stick but I think it is my favorite. The downside, the remote, I wish it had a more robust remote. Hard to hold while using at times.

    Cut the cord finally and this device made it much easier. Very good integration with YouTube TV and easy to use remote once you get used to it. Google support is great as well. One of my other TV's is a Roku one and I like the interface of the Google Chromecast with Google TV much much better. Highly recommend.

    Huge upgrade from the last few chromecasts (which i also loved) The remote is useful and I was also able to program my harmony remote to work with the unit as well (you have to define it as a fire stick). The real big improvement is the multi-app watchlist which makes getting back to your shows a trivial matter.

    I'm extremely satisfied with this chromecast. I used to use multiple Chromecasts(2nd Gen) but this one tops them all. The remote it very easy to use, functions with all my other Google devices and I love how it allows you to have personal recommendations on movies/shows.

    I have always had FireSticks or TVs with Chromecast built in. This new addition of "Google TV" is pretty awesome. Looks very similar to the layout of FireTV, but as a Google fan I much prefer this. The clicker is a bit hard to keep track of though.

    This Chromecast made hotel stays more enjoyable! Very intuitive, setting up hotel wifi password is so easy while the old Chromecast wont even connectas most hotels have built in restrictions to such devices. There wont be traveling for me without it.

    If you're looking for a great streamer running Android and don't want to spend the money on an Nvidia Shield, this is definitely the way to go. Love the Google TV interface (does need more integration with more apps for the "Ways to Watch" feature to be able to curate more content). I would like the option to have the UI on my Nvidia Shields. 4K HDR playback is good. Will say that there are some apps that needed to be updated with some not supporting Atmos currently (Disney + and Movies Anywhere) and VUDU does not support 4K or Dolby/Digital/Atmos at present. Also, the Apple TV app is not supported. This is not a lack of features of the device, devs just need to update the apps. For those looking to sideload apps, it can be done. Just google "enable developer options chromecast with google tv." The remote control is on the small side and does feel a little flimsy compared to a Fire Stick Remote if that's what you've been using. It does work well although you will not have individual Play/Pause or fast forward/rewind buttons. Overall, great streamer, especially for the price.

    Thanks to the addition of “...with Google TV” and the great remote control and voice control option, the latest Chromecast is not only the best yet but it’s one of the very best 4K video streamers around. It's easy to find what you want, the video quality is excellent, and there's impressive audio. It's missing a few built in apps, but overall it's an excellent choice.
