    I love my new TV and the chromecast is a great bonus added to it! Didn't want or intend to buy cable and it's such a lovely component in my life now!

    My older 42" LCD tv is now a Smart TV. My 42" 3D LED Smart hasn't had an update in awhile. It's now smarter.

    Having used Amazon Prime stick, I had high expectations from chromecast. I knew that one needs a mobile phone to control the streaming experience but I was awkwardly embarrassed at my dumbness seeing that chromecast does not exist without my smartphone. I did not like installing all the streaming apps on my phone just so that I could cast them to the device. My 16GB iPhone memory is already shrinking and bugging me with those 'delete some data' error messages. To top it off, imagine installing all the streaming apps in the world on your smartphone just to link them to chromecast. That according to me is a deal breaker. I would rather recommend buying Roku stick or Amazon Fire Stick that cost about $15 more but gives you much needed liberty from using the phone memory for whatsapp pictures and videos than installing those 'never-used-on-phone' apps.

    So much packed into one device. Perfect if TV doesn't have Hulu, Netflix etc. Allows me to pull up whatever my tablet is showing onto my TV screen.

    Small glitch during setup with my network but not a fault of the chromecast. After I figured out my network inompatibility, it was up and working in 5 minutes. Highly suggest using a laptop where you can see the TV it's used on. Not generally a problem these days but understand that you either need an HDMI and a USB port (power) or you'l have to use the adapter to get power to it.

    ChromeCast does exactly what it says it will: take what's on your laptop and put it on your TV. Out of the box and "casting" in less than 5 minutes.

    Own 3 of these. Great for sharing pictures and vids on my phone. When I find a good vid on YouTube it goes right on the big screen for everyone to see. Netflix/HBO/starz in every room now. Also, anyone connected to my network can use all the chromecasts. More and more Compatible apps are being released all the time. It's great that I can use it with my pcs via Google chrome
