    Awesome and simple. Sideload stadia for even more fun with a controller. On the streaming side of things this works well. It suggests stuff but also tells you what platform its on AND if you have an account will automatically take you in. Does 4k/60 + HDR10.

    Works like a charm. Light, fast, beautiful. It integrates well with Google products and you can use any of your day to day apps on it.

    I was hoping to be able to cast to this from my iOS devices but that only works with a third-party app and only with some media. (If I had done my research I would have known better.) The new interface is nice and easy to use, serving as a great combined hub for most streaming services.

    I just switched from a 1st gen fire tv cube and it has been great. The chromecast is much more reactive than my fire tv cube and is much lighter on advertisements on the home screen. Casting also works better (as expected)

    Wanted to try this out in place of my Rokus as they can be a little laggy even with the top of the line version, plus everything in my home runs with Google. I absolutely love the smooth interface that is easy to navigate and customize to what you want!

    I'm still learning to use this new Chromecast, but I like it. I have the Chromecast without the remote control on another television and am considering switching it to Chromecast with Google TV. I like the ease of accessing different streaming services.

    Hands down improvement from the original Chromecast of 2017. Cleaner interface, faster processed and connectivity make this a much better experience. Only gripe is that voice control still lags behind any of the Amazon products (no voice search or control in certain apps is a glaring omission). Another one that may seem obvious is no Apple TV+ support.

    I bought it to get HBOMAX the cheapest option but I love it it’s very quick and I like the android operating system and also the YouTube and all the other channels I can download I would recommend it for those people who don’t have a smart TV or an older TV.

    The resolution is as promised. It's easy to use, and I had zero issues getting it set up and linked to my google account. However, it frequently lags and glitches. When its working its fantastic! Unfortunately it may take a bit to make it stop glitching and enjoy the show. Also, it has all these apps, is a google device, yet i cant download the xfinity stream or motortrend+ apps on it and still need another device to watch either of those.

    Awesome streaming device!

    Just what I needed. I use Plex to stream media around the house and remotely. My 4k TV can't handle the formats coming from Plex (and I don't want streams transcoded). I tried using an XBOX One but the audio sync is always an issue. I upgraded the video card in my PC to a 4k capable model, but it can't handle HDR content very well. So I started looking at streaming device options. I'm deep in the Google ecosystem so I figured for the price I'd give it a shot. Hallelujah! This thing is awesome. Setup was easy breezy, lemon squeezy. It's been working well, controlling my TV and home theater receiver. The biggest drawback is the size of the remote and button layout. And dedicated play/pause, fast forward, rewind, skip buttons would have been great. I will definitely be buying another unit for another TV!

    Excellent Alternative to Roku and Fire TV Sticks

    I was pleasantly surprised how polished this first generation of Chromecast with Google TV is. I supposed Google has used the manufacturers of Android TVs to refine the experience. Only a few issues you can overlook, like the main screen starting up a bit slow and then recommending things from services you don’t have. Overall very good though.

    Excellent --- But Google Can Do Better

    I have some gripes...but don't let those deter you. This is a great way to stream TV and "cut the cable." Others have written about the good points...let me just pick some nits for a moment. The remote is round and slippery. It has slipped from my hands and crashed to the ground while on the treadmill more than a few times. The user interface (UI) is confusing at times. That's because you stream with different apps from different providers (eg Netflix, Prime, YouTube TV, Paramount, Disney, etc). Each one has a slightly different set of reactions to the buttons. Sometimes I can join a program in progress recorded on their "DVR" other times I can go to the beginning. I can't figure this out. The back arrow seems to have a mind of its own. Maybe that's due to the way different apps respond to it. Integration with the Google Home app should be improved. I believe it is impossible to add a device to a "room." If you want a device in a "room" it appears that you have to set it up that way from the beginning.

    I bought this because my current smart tv interface was very obselete and would crash a lot. I already owned an older chromecast but not with google tv. This was hands down a great decision and I use it literally every day.

    I was debating between chormecast with google TV or regular chromecast but glad I chose this one. this one changes my older LG smart TV into a new android smart TV. I can control pretty much all TV feature with the chromecast remote. Highly recommended

    We already loved Chromecast and use the simpler version for our girls’ tv but this is awesome! It’s convenient, easy to use and allows you to choose which apps you have on it instead of preloading them like others do. We will be purchasing another one

    pretty good setup was easy and fast. UI could have been a bit better. Fast streaming compared to fire tv. more stable than fire tv. Would have loved to have the sound button also on the main buttons place rather than side. All in all good device.
