    I was able to connect it fairly easily. But I then found out it is not compatible with iTunes and many other sites. Even the free trial of Hulu Plus didn't work well, as the picture was jerky, even though the sound was ok. Very disappointing. Their advertising should be more accurate and specific.

    Easy to install and use on the devices. The TV has to be turned up loud (100) for decent sound quality.

    From the minute I openned the box it was as easy as could be, not hard to understand, work or control. It's so easy to use even my 8 year old can work with it. It's easy for the whole family to see what happened to someone in the families day with the ease of turning on a smartphone, tablet or laptop. I got this on sale but I would easily pay more than I did.

    Bought for my mother when she had knee surgery and was limited to moving about the house. Was an ok purchase and she learned how to use it. If it wasn't so cheap I likely would have taken back and gotten the Roku 2 or Roku 3 which has more features and would allow her to watch netflix or other "channels" without having to run the app from her phone or tablet.

    Chromecast is literally the best thing invented to be partnered with a smartphone and a non smart TV! No need to buy a smart TV Now, when you can stream Netflix, Hulu, YouTube etc...for a decent purchase price! Can't beat that! Easy to setup and use. Would recommend it to anybody!

    Advertisements did not mention that your TV had to be within 20 feet. Mine TV is located at other end of house. Needless to say, I paid $35 for something I can't use. Wonder why the 20 foot is not mentioned until after you buy it? ( I carried TV into computer room to test) :( Works well if your TV is close.

    The Google Chromecast device is amazing!!! It shows your computer screen on a TV just as advertised. We use it on more than 1 set and both work great. Setup was very easy and ,by following the directions, quick. We use it tablets and it works fine. You can download the Chromecast app from the Google Play store to your tab or phone for easier operation.
