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.

    Great for HDR10 and DolbyVision

    This is the only solution I could find for getting HDR10 for YouTube and DolbyVision for NETFLIX in one device. Works well for that but is more cumbersome to figure out how to run than using a simple remote. You must use a smart phone as the remote and learn how to "cast" from the applications. It just occurred to me that I don't know what happens if you get a call while casting to the TV. The upside is that you can be looking for the next video you want to play on the phone while one is playing on the TV. If the YouTube app on my TV would support HDR10 this would not be needed.

    I like how easy the device is to use. I don't like how you have to download an app and use your phone as a remote. I prefer the fire stick over the Chromecast

    Im have really been into google tech these days over anything else. I have the home mini and wanted to see what chrome cast ultra could do. Im overall satufied withthe product it was easy to install and has the option to be hard wired into my router. 4k is an awesome concept but there are very few thing broadcasting in 4k.

    This Chromecast is a huge step up from the previous models. It supports 5GHz networks, and takes Ethernet too via a port on the power adapter, and supports 4K. Previous Chromecasts would sometimes have lagging with Sony Playstation Vue, which I use for cable, and this device does not. Any streaming services load very quickly.

    Good for streaming but missing out on touch Pros 4K Works with google assistant Streams content from YouTube, Netflix and other apps Cons Biggest issue is there is no menu or remote Missing browsing of contents available If you have a smart tv you may not need this as all TV’s are now able to stream.

    So far I have used it only with a regular 1080p TV that is not capable of HDR, so it behaves exactly like the regular Chromecast. However, taking into account that it is capable of 4K and HDR, I would highly recommend it for anyone with an appropriate TV or monitor. Now I bought this device to future prove myself, as I do use a high resolution phone with HDR (LG G6) and the content does look beautiful. So if you have an appropriate TV or monitor, don't hesitate and take one home.

    It does it job perfectly and puts in the best picture I seen on a tv. When its not in use the backround pictures on it is beautiful. I didn't think it was a good idea to pay extra for 4k but I future proof myself. The future is now and it was worth the money and glad I made the right decision.

    The only thing that keeps me giving the Chromecast 5 stars is that I thought the Chromecast would be powered via micro usb to usb like the Firestick, but it has a micro usb to wall plug. The TV I have the Chromecast plugged into is mounted on the wall in the living room so I have to have the wire hang down because the wire is too short to run through the in wall kit I have installed. So its kinda annoying to see the wire dangling down. So I've been just unplugging it every time I use it, thankfully I don't have to use it much or it would really be a deal breaker.
