Customer Ratings & Reviews

It was easy to set up. I was able to use it real quick.

Just what I need it to cast my oculus to my tv …..

Nice way to live tv and streams apps at a cheap price.

I love it! I have a google system, and have added the chromecast to my google home. It completed my smart home tech. Never had any issue overheating either.

This is the best in class streaming device , I have used Apple TV and fire stick in the past . But they don’t come anywhere closer to the chrome cast. Very satisfied with the purchase

This review is for the bestbuy sweepstakes. I got this because I needed another smart cast in my home, and i already have a chromecast that has served me well. I havent run into any issues. I got it on sale, but i am not sure i would pay full price for it.

Easy to use and set up. Loves that it works with my google home

set up was simple, product works as advertised. like the ability to connect laptops to tvs

You can make any TV to smart TV with this small one.

It's simple but perfect. Turn any TV into a smart TV

I’ve had two of these and they are absolutely amazing. There is one thing I don’t like about it but other than that I love this item. Pros- everything about it is amazing Cons- Some apps will crash occasionally but it works on the second try.

Does everything I need, however, unlike roku and fire tv there is no xfinity steam app.

Great addition to a non smart tv. Fast and reliable

The Chomecast with Google TV (HD) is a great value, performing very well and supporting a huge number of streaming services. Design It's a bit larger and heavier than I expected. I don't see it behind the TV and it isn't that heavy so it doesn't matter but that surprised me. The size probably helps improve radio signal. It requires that you plug it into the wall for power with the included adapter. I tried powering it off my TV USB port and it showed pictures on the screen with a line through plugging it into the TV and a picture of it plugged into the wall instead. After updates Android 12 is on it. By default the interface displays shows and movies that you can go straight into from different streaming services. You can also turn that off in the settings so that it only lists your streaming apps. I was surprised to see that option. To me it makes things a little cleaner. It does still show a large, changing, banner ad at the top of the screen but that's it and you have quick and easy access to your apps/streaming services. Setup I found it easy to setup. It uses the Google Home app on your phone for the setup and to configure the WiFi. After the setup it ran an update. I went into the settings and also found there was an update for the remote. That was easy to do. It has 4.7GB of space available total. After setting up seven streaming apps, using them a little, and installing a 600MB+ game, I have 1.6GB free. I used it on a TV, computer monitor, and a projector and it worked great with all three. Keep in mind if you use it with a computer monitor you'll probably need an external speaker unless your monitor has speakers built in. Video quality I tested a number of different types of video services with it. The video looks great! I'm very happy with the play back smoothness and image quality. One thing I noticed the most is video seems to start at the best quality or close to it. I'm used to video starting at a low quality and getting sharper as it plays. This does that much less than what I'm used to. Colors are bright and rich, contrast seems excellent too - as it should be since this support HDR. Remote The control is easy and comfortable for me to use. While it's smaller than most remotes it doesn't feel too small. The buttons are not too easily pressed but you also don't need to press hard to make them work. The remote has an IR transmitter, along with using Bluetooth, so it can turn on and off the TV. Volume control works fine. It takes two AAA batteries, which are included. The setup of the remote is pretty easy. You can select your TV manufacturer from a large list and then there's a quick setup. The "Input" button didn't work for me. I tried all the options it had. It would bring up the input menu on the TV, but it would not automatically select an input optoin after sitting on it for a while and the button on the Google TV remote would not select it either. Performance I've had a lot of different experiences with control of Smart TV/Streaming devices. Sometimes I've seen them be very slow to respond to key presses, slow to load apps, and slow to go back to the home screen. The Chromecast with Google TV HD works very well. I still get a few jerks here and there but it's much smoother than most, if not all, other smart TV systems I've used. It's pretty quick to load apps and fast going back to the home screen. I also tried an app on it that's a board game. That runs very well! I've tried it on a few different Android/Google TV devices and it runs great on here. The load time is not bad and, once loaded, the game runs very well. I've been impressed with the performance of the Chromecast with Google TV HD. Casting I was able to cast to it from Chrome on my Windows PC and from the YouTube app on my phone. When I tried to cast the screen from my phone it caused a problem with networking after a minute or less of use and not only did casting stop, but no video/networking worked on the Chromecast until I restarted it. I had this happen with two different Android phones. Probably not a big deal but fyi. I could see that being fixed by a software update. Summary Besides the input button not working fully on my TV, and the casting issues, which I think were minor issues, it works very well! In fact, I would say the Chromecast with Google TV is a great value, considering it works so well, includes a remote, and supports probably every streaming service that exists.

Controller is hard to see and falls out of my hand easily which is almost always upside down once I pick it up. Can't tell which way it is facing because of the shape. Nice that it turns my TV on and controls the volume so I can eliminate the other controllers. Worth it for the price and the interface works well.

Works really well and so easy to get started watching

It took minutes to install, I immediately enjoyed the programming I like

The apps on my smart TV wasn’t working and I was going to purchase a new TV. Someone recommended I purchased the Chromecast with Google TV. Now my TV is now working , even better thru the Chromecast. Great product !!

Just attach it in the USB port. Download the Google App. No need for a separate remote. You can also cast it on the big screen. Just make sure to have SAME WI-FI.

Perfect for all purposes. Easy to install, good price
