    Chromecast with Google TV (HD) was the right choice for the normal HD TV I have. This helped to seamlessly use the regular TV as a Smart TV. It has a user friendly interface, voice control and a simple setup process. Remote is bluetooth hence it doesn't require directly pointing at the device which is a big advantage. It has dedicated buttons for YouTube and Netflix. Only downside is too many recommendations or suggestions which sometimes feels irrelevant and too crowded. Performance sometimes feel little laggy over the time of usage.

    Affordable choice for turning old TV to smart one

    Chromecast with Google TV is a great device for turning any TV into a smart TV. The Google TV interface is easy to use and navigate, making it easy to access all of your favorite streaming apps and services. One of the best things about Chromecast with Google TV is that it allows you to install and use apps that may not be available on your TV's built-in smart platform. This is especially useful for older TVs that don't have smart functions built in. One thing to note is that while the Google TV interface on Chromecast is good, there are other Google TV interfaces out there that may be better. However, this should not be a major deterrent as the interface on Chromecast with Google TV is still very functional and user-friendly. Overall, Chromecast with Google TV is a great device for turning any TV into a smart TV and expanding its capabilities. It's easy to use and allows you to access a wide range of streaming apps and services.

    Make a dumb TV smart

    This is a nice ans quick easy to make any dumb TV smart. And the best part is that if you only have a 1080p TV you only need a 1080p stream so this is perfect for that. I like Android tv and i think this is a nice product. It could be a bit snappier and i wish i could remove the for lack of a better words ads/bloat on the homescreen. But they do give you a quick wya to get to youtube and Netflix ( yes i know its not customizable, but its what i use it for mostly so its nice ). And its way nicers than the Chromecast tha was there before that only allowed casting.

    Man I saw this was on sale for $20 so I said I'll get another one cuz I have the 2nd Gen already but I saw this comes with a remote control that easily (and I mean easily) connected and control my TV power and volume. Set up was a bit longer than expected but once it was up and running, man this thing is like having a Roku and a fire stick all in one. U can download apps sign in, your screensaver can be images from your Google photos which is great for family display. It will turn ya TV off automatically when idle thru settings. Trust me with this there's no need to spend extra cash buying a whole new Smart TV.

    Second time purchase for me. In my opinion, this is the best streaming device if you have YouTube TV (YTTV). YTTV is Google, and this device has the option of you "pre-programming" the YouTube button to YTTV for a seamless connection every time. The interface is easy to understand, and have never had an issue with my first device after 2 years' time, so I went and got another one for our summer home. I have a Roku on a second bedroom TV and "eh," it just doesn't work as flawlessly. Have an Apple TV device on another set, that although it is pricey, it works great, but for the price of this device (Chromecast with Google TV), it was a no brainer when I wanted to purchase another streaming device. Go for it!

    I used to cast my videos from my cell phone to my old google chromecast, but my cell phone had to stay on as long as the video was being cast. With this new device, I can cast a video directly from my cell phone browser and then use the remote to stop, go forward, go backward, and pause the video without any issues. It's the best streaming device I have owned so far. I have 4 Fire TV sticks, but I cannot cast them from my cell phone. I do not want to use the screen mirror and I hate it.

    Great for non-smart tv. I have a regular tv and it works well in entertaining you. You can set up easily on any tv. I am happy with the device, it is very fast, updated, and has all the applications I use. I can carry it everywhere and it works very well.

    I have you Chromecast since they first came out. This newest model is spectacular. Having a remote and now including android tv is super convenient. All your apps in one place making streaming very simple. Tons of free content. You have the option to download your personal streaming apps making it as all in one entertainment center. Certain game apps and other apps are also available. I couldn’t be more pleased with my purchase and experience.

    If you stream...just get one

    If you stream with more than 3 or 4 services, just get one. I bought this when my OS went out on my LG tv and have not regretted it. Its fast, turns the tv on and off, and all your streaming services are all right there for you to choose from. In addition, you can search particular movies and shows and it will show you what service(s) they are streaming on. Of course, bc Google knows everything, it offers recommendations, based on your preferences, from across most services as well. Liked it so good, I ended up getting one for my daughter's bedroom since she can speak into it to search shows and videos.

    Great product with massive versatility. It is compatible with most all televisions and is easy to install. I have 3 of them in usage. By using this product, it allowed me to rid myself of a hefty monthly cable bill. One of the best investments I’ve made. I have my streaming services and my 3 chromecasts and I watch pretty much anything I want.

    Old relative bought a new TV and wanted to move their old one into their bedroom. The old TV obviously did not have any streaming capabilities, but luckily these are readily available and easy to set up. They were overjoyed to see how easy it was to get up and running. Bonus points from them for being able to control the TV and Chromecast with one remote since they lost the old TV remote.

    Chromecast with G TV - Easy Set Up & a Great Value

    Bought this to replace an older Chromecast. Four features truly standout: 1) You can connect Bluetooth speakers directly which is great for older TV's that don't have BT. 2) The software will reach across several streaming services during searches. 3) With Google Home set up was quick and easy (using the sign in QRC code for signing in to different services made things REAL easy) and 4) A LOT less money than that "Fruit" box.

    Been using the older version of the chromecast for years. Its always been a hit or miss with the casting from different devices day to day. This puts all of my favorite streaming services right up front without having to use my devices to cast. If I have a special streaming service i want to view on my TV, its mote reliable and incredibly fast. Would recommend highly.

    Bought this because my old chromecast died after like 5 years. This is such an upgrade! The interface is like roku now. Every streaming service is now integrated. And the best part is that the remote has audio controls. Just speak in what you want to search and it’s so accurate at detecting what you said. Definitely worth it.
