Love this item! It is very easy to setup and easy to manage and use. I put this on a rather old 4k TV and it works perfectly. Great price for an item that makes watching TV a better experience.

These are great for those who travel or for your home tv. Some of us like to throw all kinds of wild content from our phone to the tv while we are away from family or work with out fear of judgement and let me tell you google makes it so easy. In fact so easy that now my right arm is much more tone. Its good for health!!

I think it's better than firetv 4k if you don't plan to use Alexa but fireTV works great with Alexa. I have both and Chromecast has a better user interface. I took a star off only because I just realized that streaming sucks in general. I should not have bought fireTV or Chromecast but a Roku ultra or above. People don't know that the cheaper the streamer the lower the bitrate and less quality video. Nvidia TV has the best quality video but it cost $200. Of course cable and fiber is probably better.

Hi there, Alex1joy. Thanks for your insightful review of the Chromecast with Google TV (4K). Your comparison with Fire TV 4K is valuable, and it's great to hear your thoughts on the user interface and Alexa integration. You mention noticing lower bit-rate and video quality on both devices compared to potentially higher-end streamers like Roku Ultra or NVIDIA Shield. This is an interesting observation that can vary depending on the specific streaming service, content and app. We hope that you continue to enjoy using your Chromecast. If you have more questions and other concerns, we recommend reaching out to our dedicated team of specialists on the Google Help Center here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Easier to use than I anticipated but would work better if my Samsung wasn’t so old. The setup was very simple but be sure to uncheck the items you do not want Google to have access to.

Google TV is hit or miss. The audio requests often fail to pull up the first movie or show in a series. Often you'll get a youtube song instead of the video shown on youtube.
Apps often fail to rewind with audio requests. You're better of using the remove. At least the remote is spot on though!
Picture quality is good, when it works. Often it loses license information trying to access Disney+, and requires a reload of the app. Hulu sometimes doesn't return video after an advertisement.
I have to unplug and reset the unit once every week or two when it locks up.
Even with the above issues, it's still superior to the built in TV apps, so there's that. Just be prepared for some legwork here and there.

It is easy to use and setup. The 4k looks great on it. The recommendations are great it tells you what service is playing the movie or tv show at. Overall it is more user friendly than Roku.

The overall features that this little dongle packs in are wonderful. Having the ability to stream 4k content is an added plus. Having the remote included is also a game changer for google tv.

I had been using the built-in smart-TV functionality of my budget Vizio set for a couple years, and the experience was, let's just say, not great.
To be fair to Vizio, they kept the apps updated and the appearance fresh on their operating system, but the input lag was... rough. I believe Vizio's hardware options were limited in order to reach such a low price point, though. It is what it is.
That's where the latest generation Chromecast comes in. The Chromecast user interface is buttery smooth. Pair that with the solid 1080p Vizio display, and now I've got a decent budget TV with killer smart functionality.

The Google Chromecast is the best. When it first came out in 2015 I purchased one it lasted me 4 + years. I heard that they were going to no longer be selling Chromecast. When I heard that I immediately going to Best Buy to purchase one. Actually I went back another time and purchase another one so I have to new Chromecast. I love the fact that I can cast whatever I want from my phone, tablet or computer to my television. Also I have some foreign subscriptions that I can get on my phone and test them right to my television. I have nothing bad to say about the Google Chromecast.

Don't have a smart TV? Or don't like the "smart features" that came with your smart TV? Cough, cough... WebOS on LG TV's. Then this is a great option to just plug in. Comes with Google's Android TV, much smoother experience and it also retains Google's Chromecast features. It is a great all-in-one package. It works with 4K, which is great for modern 2021 and beyond televisions, with the ever-increasing demand to stream to the TV with a growing library of apps to choose from. It also supports HDR, Dolby, and Wi-Fi 6 which is excellent if you have a Wi-Fi 6 capable router/modem.

So this device has been running in the house for a few weeks now. There are definitely some upgrades from the Chromecast. You have a large array of apps and everything runs smoothly. Voice control is interesting and nice to not have to type all the time. Just speak and it records and searches.
But there are some differences from my Chromecast as well. It seems that some of my preferred uses for my old Chromecast (streaming certain apps from PC) do not work on this device. It like my app doesn't detect a chromecast at all. I have found work arounds in most cases.
But overall on most things it appears to work well. I will finish by saying the price is low considering what you are getting. Connection to wifi is strong. It won't run on USB power from TV so plan to have an additional wall socket available.

This was easy to set up, which I did in a temporary location, and did finally figure out how to reset the wifi for its permanent home. Just remember that although you may have access to all these locations on the web, you more than likely will need a subscription to use them.
My only problem with using this, is that I'm out in the middle of nowhere, and have to use satellite for internet. Now satellite internet is (sort of) okay, but you pay dearly for your data, which means that you can't just watch what you want, because you will use up your (very) limited data limit in no time at all. So...
This is very good for city folk, but limited for satellite dependent folk.
