    This is a very economical very functional streaming device. Much cheaper than Apple TV. Seems to work with everything but especially proficient with YouTube TV not surprisingly. Had it running in 2 minutes.

    I love google products. The quality and ease of use is awesome, I have 2 nvidia shield TVs that are pretty good as well but googles new chromecast is great integration with YouTube Tv and you get to see a nice preview screen before you get to the actual live channel

    This works best with You Tube TV. You can easily access all the You Tube TV channels. The interface is great. You can also access all the other streaming services you might be subscribing to.

    Works very well with our LG smart TV. Set-up was easy - it was almost plug and play. Channel choices are excellent.

    Turns any old TV into a smart TV. It turned my mom’s nearly 20 year old TV into a cutting edge display. Goolge’s interface is much nicer than Fire TVs and Roku.

    Wonderful addition to the Google Smart Home devices. Especially love that casting is seamless and that you can use the official Google app as a remote and hub/dashboard.

    I've had the 1st gen Chromecast device and this new one is a much better experience. I like that there's a dedicated remote and seems more of a streaming box experience rather than just a casting device from previous generations. Works very well and easy to use.

    Google Chrome cast mates streaming movies, TVs, shows, I am binge watching seamless. All you have to do is ask Google to play a show or movie and it comes right up. No more going through the hassle of looking for the application to play the specific show or movie.

    Like an Apple TV, but not $150. Has all the 4k HDR stuff that my 2019 Vizio display can handle. Pretty easy to use. I wish more of the apps / services integrated with Google's recommendation and search system. Have had some trouble on my wifi network (5 GHz vs 2.4 GHz etc etc) but they patched it and things have gotten better.

    it’s a good product for its price. it makes regular tvs into smart tvs. the remote is small and it’s easy to setup and use. the only issues i have is with bluetooth and hbo max. you have to go into setting and manually connect to bluetooth devices every time, and the hbo max app is bad but it’s because of hbo max not google

    Works okay with some caveats

    Originally drawn to this as the cheapest streamer I could find that supports Dolby Vision. It works fairly well save for some caveats: 1) For some reason can never get the CNN Go app to work (though this seems to be a common issue). 2) While it seems to be resolved now, whenever using the Vudu app, it would always play my purchases as HDX rather than UHD. It seems there was an update which now allows Dolby Vision and UHD. But you'll need to do your research to see what apps support Dolby Vision on this device. I didn't take this into consideration when purchasing, and so I need to mix use between this and my Vizio TV's smart app to get Dolby Vision content. 3) I've had issues here and there with flickering when outputting at 4k 60hz. In some instances it wouldn't enable Dolby Vision unless I converted to 4k 30hz. Some of these issues were fixed upgrading my HDMI cables. But it sometimes flickers when connected directly to my Yamaha rx-v4a receiver. So just be aware of this if you're looking for 60hz. Overall, if you need the best quality streamer, you'll probably want to revert to Roku Ultra (I used Roku before and it's safe and dependable) or Apple TV. But for most other uses, this works pretty well considering it's only $50.

    A great upgrade to the original Chromecast

    It works really well and the OS is smooth and simple. I'm able to use my TV's remote (LG) with it as well, which means I don't have to juggle two remotes as often. Biggest issue I have is with the small internal storage. There are a lot of games that can be installed directly onto the Chromecast, but not nearly enough storage for them.

    I love it because the Google TV portion brings in all your streaming apps to one location. So much better than having to switch between your Amazon Fire Stick, Roku device, or any other attachment and using up multiple HDMI ports.
