    The Chromecast makes sharing screens from my Android devices so easy-- I love just casting the screen and being able to share my photos on the big screen with my family. The video streaming capabilities and 3rd party integration like Hulu makes this an amazing buy!

    Chrome Cast is amazing. I use it every day to stream music and movies to my TV. I do not have to worry about having an app installed and almost every service it compatible. I went back and bought 2 more so every TV in my house has one. For only $30 you can not beat it.

    I already owned one of these, and bought one for my girlfriend. She is obsessed with it. Not only is it easy to set up, but it works with tons of streaming services as well as mirroring your tablet screen.

    Chromecast works great and is simple to set up and use. No lag when casting videos. Used mainly to view photos and videos from my iphone and ipad. It would be better if iOS would cast directly without a separate app though.

    This is a great little device that can be used in a multitude of ways. You can do so much with it, but you have to know where to start. I like the fact that all of my electronic devices (e.g., tablets, phones, computers) are all able to send media to display on it.

    I use the device to cast the screen from Nexus 9 tablet to TV for Dish Anywhere. Dish does not have a cast function so I need to use Cast screen and then open Dish. Unfortunately this doesn't work with my Moto X phone as the cast screen function is not enabled for it.

    I have Roku as well as the Chromecast and I find I enjoy using the Chromecast more. The Roku does do more and stream more things than the Chromecast but the Chromecast does what I need it to 90% of the time. Only negative with the Chromecast is no Amazon support. The device is simple to use and if you have a newer TV with the latest HDMI specs and you use an external charger the Chromcast will magically turn your TV on at turn it to the right input, making it a breeze for even my toddler to use. Well worth the $29.99 I paid for it at Best Buy. I ended up buying another and the Roku is now gathering dust at home.

    I've used this product on three different televisions, it works great for remote TV sets like the one on my back porch and the one about my bathtub. I have to do is plug the TV in and put the chrome on the HDMI and USB port on the TV. No other wires very simple install

    having owned a LG smart lcd tv with app functionality including netflix with a clunky navigation and interface, i had high hopes for the chromecast and netflix to be better in every way. setup was a breeze and took all of 2 minutes. video casted from youtube and netflix both look flawless. i especially like the extra details they put to the updated netflix app for android where your phone would turn into a simple remote when you first turn it on. overall a great first effort by google and i can't wait for more apps to be supported!

    This was actually my second chrome cast, one per TV. Nice to stream you tube in the kitchen when following recipes or diy demos. Use in the living room to watch Netflix or Hulu or really anything from my tablet or phone.

    THe chromcast was easy to connect and use. I connected it to an open HDMI port and plugged the power brick into the wall. You have to download an app but it's easy to do , free and works well. i was really surprised with the video quality when streaming YouTube vids.

    It's inexpensive. It's small and doesn't take up any shelf or table-top space. You no longer have to buy a "Smart TV" to watch Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, Google Play Movies, etc. Listen to Pandora, Google Play Music, etc. You can control it from your Android or Apple phone or tablet. You can even control it from your home computer! We have one on each of our two main TVs. No more getting up to plug the iPad into an HDMI cable to watch Netflix. No more getting up to pause the show. It also makes your living room TV so much better for Karaoke parties (do you know how much karaoke you can find on YouTube these days??).

    This works great with all my devises. I have a tablet and iPhone and I have no issues. The only downfall is sometimes it gets confused when I switch from tablet to iPhone and vise versa. A simple disconnect and reconnect solves it. Overall this is a great product!

    Chromecast will cast Netflix, youtube and other supported apps perfectly. Streaming is a bit trickier, there may be pauses and audio and video can be off. While on supported apps you can still easily use the internet, streaming causes more hiccups in the cast though.

    Pros- Chrome cast is great for projecting presentations on bigger displays. Cons - it's still not there as a complete mirroring solution for your computer. Presents a significant lag when projecting your entire desktop.

    This is a great, easy to use device. Perfect for that 'extra' TV you have hooked up to a DVD or Blu-Ray player in that spare room. Chrome opens up an expanded world of viewing. Whether it is used with your primary TV or that spare one (or both) I highly recommend it.
