Chrome is the BEST

Great device for a "smart TV"
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the Chromecast. Most of the time I use it to stream Netfilx and Pandora. I also use it to display my phone's screen when I want to watch TV. I bought 6 more to give to my groomsmen and everyone has raved about it to me. Overall it's sold for a great price and has given my existing TV some of the features of the new smart TVs. I will probably pick up a 2nd one when I purchase a larger TV for the family room.

Good Product, Not as Good a Deal as Advertised
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best Buy offers a 3-month free Netflix code with this product. As I write this, the offer is still listed on their product page. Also as I write this, it's been 31 days since I placed my order and I haven't received a code. I just called Customer Service and they didn't know anything about it. They kept thinking I was saying "Comcast" and wanted me to call my cable company! They told me to wait 7 days to get my code. When I told them it had already been 31 days, they said wait 7 more and call back. They were just trying to get rid of me. Great "Service", Best Buy. As for the Chromecast, it's great, but limited. It does YouTube and Netflix perfectly and easily from my tablet to my TV. The only problem is that's all it does. My wife's Roku is MUCH more capable for not much more money. I have hope that the Chromecast will have much more software support in the future and add more features. If it does then it will be a bargain. If not, then the Roku will be a better choice.

Great Product!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It was actually a gift for my Brother-in-law. I helped him get it set up and tested it out for him. Easy to use, affordable, and great features for such a small package. If I didn't already have Roku I would have purchased this as a media device. Rather use controller based devices but could see myself getting over that quickly with this product.

We have three of these at home!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These little devices are absolutely amazing. It streams perfectly from any mobile device in our home. Including every PC. Outstanding quality for both Netflix and Hulu. From PC standpoint you can stream Absolutely using chrome. There is a beta for sharing the entire screen but it's choppy at best. You really can't beat it for the price. We have one on our main big screen. one on a small portable TV in our bathroom, and I travel three or four days we can carry one in my briefcase. We use them all the time. The device actually set up its own stream based on bandwidth available. So it might be routing through your iPhone it's not using your iPhone's Wi-Fi connection for anything other than the remote control. These little devices a revolutionary in my opinion. It can be powered using USB adapter to an AC outlet. Or can be powered by the TV's USB port. Well it's not a great alternative yet for Cloning PC display it is a great alternative for streaming devices and smart TVs. Best 35 bucks you'll spend. Provided you television has an HDMI input. We haven't hooked up on one television with no HDMI input. Granted the resolution is limited but I'm using an HDMI to RCA adapter and it works like a charm. Hats off to Google for this little gem.

Great device for viewing videos.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This device is exactly what my husband and I were looking for. We have cable, but did not want to pay for another cable box in our babies room so we bought this instead. We already subscribe to Netflix so Chromecast was the perfect option to save money. We can still play cartoons and children's movies and it feels like we have cable in that room. Easy to set up. You can't go wrong for the price. Highly recommend.
