    Great application that provides an alternate route to watch Movies and TV Shows! Watching movies on this device works better than watching them on the Wii device!

    A Good Streamer for the Price

    I think this it is the least expensive streaming media player all way round. Impressive video quality and ease to use. When streaming video files from computer hard drive thru the wi-fi network has some compatibility problems. The stream flow is at times halted and not continuous. In terms of cost x benefit is a winner. Recommended. Give it a try!

    Overall it's great, Simple & is very useful. It doesn't have many Apps that are compatible yet, but I believe with time it will. Either way, the price is so good that you can't ask for too much. I do however hope to see a lot more features and interactivity begin to be introduced. I am very happy with it though, purchased one for my sister as well.

    I originally purchased this to cast my Plex movies to my TV. It works, but I just found it a bit limited and wanted to . I ended up purchasing a Roku which serves the same purpose with a lot more features(very happy with it). I still use the Chromecast in my bedroom. On occasion I will cast a movie to that TV, but it purchasing for the same reason as me, I would recommend spending a few more bucks and going Roku.

    The chormecast is a device that is easy to love because its only $35. It is easy to use, and allows the use of Youtube and Netflix on any TV with an open HDMI port. The device is good right now, but should be great later on when there are even more applications that support it.

    The chromecast works good most of the time. Rarely it disconnects in between, but maybe router issue. I use it everyday and am happy with how it functioning.

    Purchased to use as a substitute for my Roku and I can't be happier. Streams so much nicer and easier than my Roku. Might purchase another one to replace my roku.

    I like how small it really is but it does have some issues that need to be sorted. Go with a Roko or a Amazon Fire tv to make things easier. Don't be afraid to shell out the extra bucks. Still this product is super portable and can be controlled by phone and tablet or computer. I would give this a 4 out of 5. It is a good buy from Best Buy.

    Seamless connection, easy no frills install (no bloatware nonsense). Surfing the web, watching movies work great (need fast internet connection). Works through Chrome browser. Netflix and Youtube apps come preinstalled with it. Save your money and get this + regular HDTV instead of a Smart TV (LG smart TVs are lousy on the internet/netflix/youtube and have no support). Overall, excellent product for the price.

    Even a technology dinosaur like me can setup and appreciate the Chromecast media player. I was able to install it with minimal involvement from my tech savvy children. It brings NetFlix first run series programming and movies to my big screen TV allowing me to be a couch potato enjoying big picture and sound instead of being tied to my desk and laptop to view NetFlix content. Highly recommend this product.
