Works more reliably than previous versions

I've been a fan of chromecasts since the first version, this version is the most reliable as far as resuming playback from your phone/tablet/etc. It will 'disconnect' from you phone's netflix (or similar) app, but reconnect faster and more reliably than the older models.

Overhyped but still useful

The Chromecast installed quickly, but it is not made for a Windows PC. From a Windows PC, only Google's Chrome browser supports ChromeCast, something you find out only be calling Chromecast support.
Picture resolution from a high-def laptop to a 1080p TV was a disappointment.

We decided to get this so that we could watch online church services and music on YouTube from my laptop on our TV. It has been great. The only thing I regret is not getting it a long time ago.

Works great with my TV and my google home. I like it that I can have my TV just have cool pictures on it so when I'm not watching TV it looks good instead of a big black screen above my fireplace.

The ChromeCast is undoubtedly the best bang for your buck that you could possibly get when you're in the market for a TV broadcasting device. It's great and definitely worth more than the $35 asking price!

This is a good connection device for TV. It allows through the Internet to connect it to the TV and thus enjoy different programs together with the family. the installation is quite easy and fast.

Great idea but doesn’t work well

I got the cromecast with google home, and so far it’s been a pain to use it. Most of the time, when I’m going to stream something from my phone I have to unplugged and plugged back in, also i have to turn off my phone data ( that’s what the guy a costumer service said when I called ). And most of the time it doesn’t show the opticion to connect to my tv on Netflix or YouTube because it can’t find it, I get tired and end up using my old fire stick.
Is a great idea but I think they have to make a lot of improvement, I don’t recomend buying this also having no remote is annoying!!

I bought an LG Smart Tv a few years back and the UI is showing it's age, slow clunky and never really that great to start with. This was a great upgrade for Netflix YouTube and a whole host of other apps.

Chromecast is a wonderful device which helps you cast whatever you want on your tv so you can see it on a bigger screen. There is a definite use of it if you want to cast anything from your laptop

I used to use laptop with HDMI to watch some online video on my TV. That's no longer necessary with this small device. Also TV watching now becomes more fun with remote control through my tablet. Highly recommend.

Did exactly what I wanted it to do. Allowing me to basically convert my HDTV into a SMART HDTV, to which I can cast my internet from computer and use it as a mirror screen for my tablets and phones. Yep!
