    Good performance. Netflix and Youtube designated keys can be remapped (by downloading Button Mapper app from playstore). I also mapped the power and volume buttons to work with a seven year old TCL. I suggest not ordering a Blue or Pink as those versions are seriously backlogged (even if they show in stock momentarily). You will end-up waiting weeks and finally receive a automatic BestBuy cancellation which happened to me.

    Important missing/inconvenient features

    I really wanted to love this device and replace my Fire TV Stick 4k with it. But every time I use it I'm reminded why I like the Fire Stick better and where Google is lacking. Pros: Navigation is pretty nice and not really complicated. Picture quality is very good. Scrolling is good enough. Ability to side load apps. Cons: placement of volume button is terrible. Only device I've ever owned with volume on side. Google should just straight up copy Amazon here and just put all buttons on the "face" of the remote and make the remote a bit bigger. No ffw/rew buttons would have been a MAJOR deal breaker for me if I'd thought about it before purchasing. Can't ffw/rew with just press of a button. Very inconvenient. Especially when used to ffw/Rew in 10 sec increments, for example. Although you can side load apps, some never show up in apps list. You have to go into settings and go to installed apps to find/open them. If there was at least a "recently used apps" list on the home screen, like on the Fire Stick, that would be enough, but of course that's something else Google is lacking. Lack of a decent available browser, namely for video playback, is a big disappointment too. Nothing nearly as good or user friendly as Amazon's Silk Browser. Practically never goes on sale vs Amazon devices being on sale almost constantly. I'll probably end up selling this device and just hope for a better, updated version in the future.

    Disappointing Performance

    I tried the Chromecast 4K, hoping it would be a solid addition to my streaming setup, but it left me disappointed. The device was noticeably slower compared to other streaming options like Apple TV, with laggy menu navigation and delayed responses when opening apps. While the picture quality was good, the overall sluggish performance made it frustrating to use, especially when switching between apps or content. For the price, it’s a decent option for those on a budget, but if you’re used to the snappiness of devices like Apple TV, this may not be the best choice. I ended up returning it and sticking with what worked better for me.

    I love this chromecast with google tv ! It turned my 10 yr old tv into a smart tv. I only have internet and this has allowed me to sign up for streaming services and easily maneuver between the different services. And it also has a 'voice' option which allows me to ask 'it' questions. I don't miss cable for one minute! Easiest transition . 100% recommend chromcast with google tv 4K

    I bought this to replace a Firestick 4K and the Chromecast is much better. It is much more stable and easy to use. Some reviewers complain that the remote is slippery (it is) so I also purchased a silicone cover for it, which works great.

    Long time Google fan here, this will be the 3rd Chromecast we have purchased, I have one connected to my main TV and the second in our Bedroom. I have subscribed to several of the streaming services so the only time I don't have something to watch is because I've not turned the TV on! Google is suggesting a lot of content, a few from platforms I dont subscribe to. But I sub'd to some others and really like the content. The darn dog likes the remote and chewed it up. I bought two more and nightly place them where she cant get to. I have also had one remote "wear out" where the buttons just stopped working, So very easy to add remotes, Google does a nice job there.

    The Chromecast with Google TV worked as expected. I enjoy many streaming programs including the Amazon Prime streaming movies and streaming TV programs that are not available from our expensive AT&T cable service. Mainly paying for the AT&T cable to record Hallmark programs which we have not yet found on a streaming service. Still learning options available on the Chromecast with Google TV,

    Purchased this device to get a few apps I cannot get on my Samsung Smart TV. It has worked flawlessly and is much faster than my Sony TV that is a Google TV. It does take awhile to set up, so don't wait until the last minute.

    This is the best streaming device EVER. Seriously, I've been using Chromecasts since the device first came out. This iteration is by far the absolute best. Adding a menu and a remote for easy browsing has enhanced the experience greatly. Having the Google Assistant baked in is a nifty little perk as well. Being able to control smart home devices with my remote has some definite cool factor. I absolutely LOVE this.
