    Awesome little device to stream, cast and mirror smartphones and tablets. Fairly quick and painless to operate. Great for households that have both ios and Android devices.

    Great product. Easy to use. Only downside is that I can not cast/mirror Chrome browser on a Apple iPad or iPhone to it. I watch a lot of anime on a web browser and wished Chrome on IOS has that feature.

    Love the remote, it makes surfing my streaming subscriptions and YT a breeze. Wish I had a better TV paired with this. Maybe I will upgrade that soon.

    I can stream movies on Netflix, Hulu,max and show time. The picture on the tv are clear it’s a great product, but you must be Abe to connect your TV to the internet.

    Excellent streamer! Great UI and very smooth. All the apps I want and need with a great remote. The only downside is for anyone wanting to get Atmos out of it. Waited three updates to get problem fixed but it still doesn’t work. Any Atmos soundtrack and the sound just doesn’t play on any app. I switched it from my main tv to my room tv where Atmos isn’t needed and it replaced my Fire Cube TV.

    This is the 2nd ChromeCast I've purchased (1st cast was the 3rd gen in black) and still happy with it. My roommates and I can easily access our streaming services and Spotify.

    Great product!!! If you have an older smart TV that is slow to launch app like Netflix or other subscriptions app. This will be perfect you. Chromecast Google TV is fast responsive and it will make your TV feel new again.

    I bought this so we can get HBO max, and it doesn't disappoint. The remote is exceptionally easy to use, and it features a dedicated button for Netflix and YouTube. The voice recognition sets the standard in my experience, I think Siri can take a lesson here. The 4k resolution is impressive. Well done.

    Mediocre disappointment for a 4K streaming device

    Cons: Aggregate search feature that is so heavily touted works poorly. For example, a voice search for "InuYasha" instead brings up "InuYasha The Final Act" (the sequel series) and only on Netflix, even though the first 54 episodes are on many services. A voice search for "InuYasha Episode 55" brings up "InuYasha" only on Netflix (which only has 54 episodes) and fails to inform you that episode 55 is on Hulu (supposedly supported by this search feature). Searching "The Empire Strikes Back" only shows results in Disney Plus and in my Google Play library, even though Prime Video, Vudu, and Movies Anywhere are installed. 4K is only 30Hz refresh rate universally on this device (as opposed to the Amazon 4K Fire TV stick at 60 Hz). Movies Anywhere doesn't support 4K on this device. Apple TV is not available on this device. If you have a Fire TV Recast, you cannot use it with this device. You are better off spending the same amount of money on a 4K Fire TV stick and sideloading Vudu (if you use Vudu) using the Android TV version. Pros: Nice UI, similar to Android TV. First Chromecast with a remote and without dependancy on casting. You can still cast to this device just like a legacy Chromecast device.

      Hi Chriv,

      We appreciate your feedback on Chromecast with Google TV. We're sorry to hear of the difficulty you have with the search feature for the Google Assistant and the refresh rate.

      To improve the search experience with your Chromecast with Google TV, we recommend making your voice commands more specific by adding the name of your preferred media service provider (like Netflix, Hulu, Disney Plus, etc.) with the title of the video you want to watch. A good example would be, "Hey Google! Play InuYasha episode 54 on Netflix." You can learn more about voice-supported partners here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/7214982?hl=en

      To get the best experience with the 4K resolution and 60Hz refresh rate for your Chromecast with Google TV, we suggest customizing your video experience by adjusting your display settings. You can follow the steps below:
      1. Turn on your Chromecast and then at the top right of your TV screen, select your profile and then Settings .
      2. Select Display & Sound.
      3. You’ll have the option to adjust your display settings between Match content and Allow game mode, depending on the features available on your TV.
      4. You may also set it to Resolution & Frame Rate which will let you adjust the screen resolution and frame rate.

      We're always working to improve your experience. Should you still face the same issue, then we may need to have a look into. Please feel free to contact us here: https://support.google.com/chromecast/gethelp madebygoogle

    OMG FANTASTIC! I used to have just a regular chrome cast but if you're inbetween this and the normal one, get this!! The remote is super easy to use, plus the home screen is super personalized. I've used roku, amazon fire sticks and everything in-between but this has been by far my fav purchase for my tv!

    Absolutely love it, my first gen sony 4k with android tv was starting to have major issues with the OS, got this to help shore everything up. The remote is great, voice searching works fast and gives options to how to watch a specific show, or just searching YouTube. Would recommend to anyone.

    My uncle likes to watch tv outside. He uses the dish tv app to cast to his old google cast device. Was slow and would sometimes crash. So I upgraded him to the new 4k cast and he loves it! Clearer picture and very fast response.

    A great deal, especially on sale now. They've been discontinued, so get one while you still can. The replacement from Google costs twice as much, and the "improvements" won't be noticed by most folks in reality. Don't worry Google has stated they will still support them, it's the same basic software, new one just has a little more storage memory most never use, and a little faster chipset, but still streams just the same

    My 2016 Samsung TV has started not getting new apps (Peacock, AppleTv, etc), so I got this. It was easy to setup and works well. Even brought it with on a trip and used it in my hotel room (had to setup my phone as a hotspot to bridge their wifi connection, but not a big deal)

    Has all the smart apps, but most modern smart TVs have the apps anyway. Most importantly, it allows me to cast in 4K from my computers and devices to the TV. It does this very well. Inexpensive and simple to install and easy to use. Highly recommend.

    I finally bought it. I was long enough for an upgrade and I finally decided to get it. The wait is over and the interface is amazing and so easy to use. Once you link your streaming apps, google will recommend a bunch of shows, movies based on your likes and needs and it's very easy setup.
