    Works great and it looks great. Comes with controller so there is no need for a phone anymore. It does need its own power source unlike the older generations that could just be plugged into the back of the tv. Ordered it online and it was shipped/delivered by the next day!

    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

    Great 'plug it into the back of the TV' Media Hub

    Surprisingly powerful device - it feels more like an AppleTV or similar sized set-top. It has frozen and crashed on me a couple times, hense the 4 instead of 5 stats. But if you don't have the space for an AppleTV 4k / Android similar, this is the best "just plug it into the back of the TV" media Hub I've seen to date.

    This is my second Chromecast with Google TV. I've had Fire stick ond Roku streaming. This one supports the services that I prefer and I've had no problems with connecting to their servers. Odd but Amazon Prime seems to run smoother on Google than a Fire stick.

    very easy to install and easy to use. I have not tried connecting camera to it to make video calls but based on what i heard from others it was successful. google assistant not surprisingly understands all commends and you can control your house appliances from the remote.

    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.

    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.

    Wonderful! I mainly use it for cable. So instead of paying more for an additional a cable box, I use the Chromecast to access all the channels. Works pretty good since I bought it about a year ago, even with the other apps.

    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.

    The streaming device Google Chromecast with Google TV (4K) that I purchased was an excellent buy. The product was easy to activate. I have not experienced any problems with the product so far.
