    The chromecast was easy to set up following the directions and was in use within 15 minutes out of the package. Have used mainly when traveling, to watch movies and sporting events. Have only had one issue of it not connecting while staying at a particular hotel. All other times it has worked flawlessly. Very happy with this purchase.

    After seeing this device at my brother in law's house I decided to get one for myself. While it's cool that many handheld devices as well as computers can view HD video and other content, nothing beats seeing something larger than life on your big screen HD television screen. My wife and I are both YouTube addicts but the ChromeCast brings it to a whole new level. Instead of gathering a small screen or asking people to hunch over your smart phone, you can show digital content a whole room full of people in stunning 1080P HD quality from the comfort of your couch. Plus, it works with Netflix so it's a much more affordable option than a Roku, PS3 or other multifunction device. And since it's from Google, you know there will be more features and cool stuff added in the future. Best gadget I've purchased in a long time!

    Glad I purchased it at Best Buy. It was more expensive at other stores. Really simple to use and enjoyed watching Netflix movies by Chromecast on TV instead of my iPad.

    Great for Google Music, Netflix and Pandora. Setup is quite easy. I have this connected into my home theater setup, so I stream movies and music through my home audio system to make it sound really great. Netflix looks good via the Chromecast and my HD projector, and the audio sounds great. I will be getting another on for the main floor of our house too.

    A good product for streaming to a regular TV. If you have a smart TV or a better BD player connected to the TV, you may not need this.

    So far I loved it, it works great and I dont need any wires to hook up my devises to tv anymore. does not work standalone with apps, like apple tv. but works fine with any device. does not have a remote, cause your device is your remote.

    Product is great and the price is very reasonable. Pros : It is great for streaming Videos from your tablet or phone Cons 1) You will require very good WiFi connection for streaming HD content 2) Its functionality is limited. Content which is running on chrome can only be streamed on TV. you can not stream movies or anything else which is not running on chrome. Overall Great Product for the price you pay. Thanks

    Great new invention

    I bought the Google Chromecast for a bedroom Tv.I was really disappointed that it really didn't work the way or do what I expected.To my surprise,an item I had bought for my living room TV was the perfect item for my bedroom TV and the Chromecast was the perfect item for my living room TV.I had 2 different cable adapters that were 25ft long each that I used to hookup my laptop so I could watch movies and sports on my TV.They were both a real pain that required changing all sorts of settings on the computer and then having to set them back after I was through.Then,of course I had to roll the cables back up after each use and place them safely behind the TV.Also,the video and audio quality wasn't the best in the world and the letter fonts weren't very readable on the TV.The Chromecast fixed everything I didn't like about the cable and adapters.After I finally figured what I had to download and how(it really wasn't very clear)it works great.This is what I had been needing all along to watch my laptop on my TV.The picture fits perfect with no adjustments and the fonts are just as readable as on my laptop,which is a real plus.Now when I want to watch a sporting event that is only available online,I just put the TV on the correct HDMI input and the Chromecast turns itself on.Then I make sure I'm using Google Chrome as my browser and hit the icon in the upper right hand corner of the screen and there is my video and audio.I can leave it partial screen or make it full size and when putting it on full size it fits perfect!What a great invention!
