I purchased the Chromecast to test out the new YouTube TV service. In the box you have the device itself, and a power cord. Can't get easier than that. You plug it into the TV, connect the power, and the device displays the next steps on the screen.
Once you download the app from the app store (Apple for me), you are guided through setup, and up and running within minutes.
Overall a great device to take on trips, use in hotel rooms, and more. Everything you display on TV is coming from your iPhone or tablet. This is great for hotels with complicated wifi that other devices (Roku) may have trouble with.
Not every app will work with the Chromecast, so make sure what you want to use is supported before purchasing. Also, some apps may work with Chromecast on an iPad, but not an iPhone.
I give 5 stars for the simplicity of design and ease of setup.

It's a must have for any TV. It makes casting very convenient. I have the first generation chromecast and I can see that there's is a slight improvement in speed. I use it primarily for youtube but hulu, netflix, and other apps are also available.

It was a surprise to see it work so well. Wireless devices have a history of glitches, hiccups and shutdowns. It gets a little warm but that just means its working hard to bring you and easy setup, great picture transmission and video response. Well worth it.

Useful Screen-Sharing Device

Very useful tool. It is almost exactly what I was looking for. My only issue is that it attempts to replicate the aspect ratio of my phone on my TV, when screen-sharing.
This still results in a visible picture, but one with black bars on the sides if I hold the phone vertically
It would be better if they could add a "zoom" and "scroll" feature because the user may not necessarily need to see the whole screen, and these features would help them focus on the part of the screen they wish to see.
