Customers are saying

Customers often highlight the Chromecast Ultra's ease of use, excellent picture quality, and impressive 4K streaming capabilities. Many appreciate its straightforward setup and generally positive performance. However, some users mention the relatively high price point and the lack of a dedicated remote control as drawbacks. A few also noted occasional lag or heat issues.

    Causes problems with my LG OLED TV

    Great picture, sound, and features. But for whatever reason it causes my LG OLED TV ARC function to hiccup when using Netflix or Amazon prime video. I am running Onkyo 9.2 avr. Took me a while to figure it out. Firmware is all up to date in my devices. I have to constantly unplug when using Netflix or Amazon. Also wished it had a remote so I did not have to use my phone all the time.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
