    Excellent streamer! Great UI and very smooth. All the apps I want and need with a great remote. The only downside is for anyone wanting to get Atmos out of it. Waited three updates to get problem fixed but it still doesn’t work. Any Atmos soundtrack and the sound just doesn’t play on any app. I switched it from my main tv to my room tv where Atmos isn’t needed and it replaced my Fire Cube TV.

    My uncle likes to watch tv outside. He uses the dish tv app to cast to his old google cast device. Was slow and would sometimes crash. So I upgraded him to the new 4k cast and he loves it! Clearer picture and very fast response.

    This product has made the chromecast experience a million time better. It's great to not always have to reach for your phone or use your voice to change what you want to watch. The remote is very intuitive and easy to use. If you love your chromecast and want to take it to the next level, don't hesitate to upgrade.

    My newest Chromecast works perfectly. We picked it up for a babysitter to use during a wedding. Instead of getting videos, we could just plug in laptops all set up for the 4 year olds.

    I'm extremely satisfied with this chromecast. I used to use multiple Chromecasts(2nd Gen) but this one tops them all. The remote it very easy to use, functions with all my other Google devices and I love how it allows you to have personal recommendations on movies/shows.

    Google TV is such a great ecosystem for watching all of your favorite streaming services. Having access to the Play Store is also a huge plus for some of the hard to find apps that do not come on the other streaming devices. 100% recommend this to anyone even if you already have a smart TV.

    Mediocre disappointment for a 4K streaming device

    Cons: Aggregate search feature that is so heavily touted works poorly. For example, a voice search for "InuYasha" instead brings up "InuYasha The Final Act" (the sequel series) and only on Netflix, even though the first 54 episodes are on many services. A voice search for "InuYasha Episode 55" brings up "InuYasha" only on Netflix (which only has 54 episodes) and fails to inform you that episode 55 is on Hulu (supposedly supported by this search feature). Searching "The Empire Strikes Back" only shows results in Disney Plus and in my Google Play library, even though Prime Video, Vudu, and Movies Anywhere are installed. 4K is only 30Hz refresh rate universally on this device (as opposed to the Amazon 4K Fire TV stick at 60 Hz). Movies Anywhere doesn't support 4K on this device. Apple TV is not available on this device. If you have a Fire TV Recast, you cannot use it with this device. You are better off spending the same amount of money on a 4K Fire TV stick and sideloading Vudu (if you use Vudu) using the Android TV version. Pros: Nice UI, similar to Android TV. First Chromecast with a remote and without dependancy on casting. You can still cast to this device just like a legacy Chromecast device.

      Hi Chriv,

      We appreciate your feedback on Chromecast with Google TV. We're sorry to hear of the difficulty you have with the search feature for the Google Assistant and the refresh rate.

      To improve the search experience with your Chromecast with Google TV, we recommend making your voice commands more specific by adding the name of your preferred media service provider (like Netflix, Hulu, Disney Plus, etc.) with the title of the video you want to watch. A good example would be, "Hey Google! Play InuYasha episode 54 on Netflix." You can learn more about voice-supported partners here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/7214982?hl=en

      To get the best experience with the 4K resolution and 60Hz refresh rate for your Chromecast with Google TV, we suggest customizing your video experience by adjusting your display settings. You can follow the steps below:
      1. Turn on your Chromecast and then at the top right of your TV screen, select your profile and then Settings .
      2. Select Display & Sound.
      3. You’ll have the option to adjust your display settings between Match content and Allow game mode, depending on the features available on your TV.
      4. You may also set it to Resolution & Frame Rate which will let you adjust the screen resolution and frame rate.

      We're always working to improve your experience. Should you still face the same issue, then we may need to have a look into. Please feel free to contact us here: https://support.google.com/chromecast/gethelp madebygoogle

    Read the reviews, seemed the perfect option to access HBO Max. Very easy to use and access all content from different apps in one place. Costs a little more than Roku or Fire Stick but I think it is my favorite. The downside, the remote, I wish it had a more robust remote. Hard to hold while using at times.

    Cut the cord finally and this device made it much easier. Very good integration with YouTube TV and easy to use remote once you get used to it. Google support is great as well. One of my other TV's is a Roku one and I like the interface of the Google Chromecast with Google TV much much better. Highly recommend.

    It was easy to set up and was able to watch shows within minutes. The controls are easy to navigate once you get the hang of it. The mute button is right next to the power button which can be problematic for some people. Overall, a good product!

    Great device... Takes all of your streaming services and blends them together in an easy to navigate suggestion based home screen. Seems to start streams fast than all of the other sticks and chromecast that I have owned. I highly recommend, especially if you are a cord cutter with multiple streaming subscriptions.

    Great product!!! If you have an older smart TV that is slow to launch app like Netflix or other subscriptions app. This will be perfect you. Chromecast Google TV is fast responsive and it will make your TV feel new again.

    For streamers on devices w/ less than optimal controllers [my OEM controller used ~ 2 ea. AA batteries per week] this Chromecast w/ Google TV is excellent. Good apps. Lots of user-friendly interactivity. Importantly, battery life good. Installation well-automated for my device. Good value, too.
