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.

    This is a great streaming device--IF you're a smartphone power user. Considering the only remote you have is your phone, it's not for everyone. It's very seamless though and great for smarthomes. The inclusion of an Ethernet port makes this worth it's cost as opposed to the standard Chromecast.

    Was using a Roku Express in a far bedroom that was having a hard time with buffering/ Started using this with my Iphone and Directvnow app. It seems to be a little hesitant to accept the casting from the phone occasionally but that might be the App and not the Chromecast. Just using it in the bedroom for night time tv so it is not a problem.

    Bought this little device to act as a Roon endpoint for my secondary system. Works perfectly. Additionally this provides on screen viewing of artist, album, song and where available the lyrics. This is of course with Roon, your mileage may vary with other music services.

    The functions this device has appear to work well. Casting from apps and the Chrome browser work as expected. However, without local apps I find that I rarely have my HDMI switched to the device. So while it works well, it's limited utility means that it loses that battle for HDMI focus.

    We purchased two Chromecasts this day, one for our new 4K TV and one to replace a Generation 1 Chromecast on another TV. After looking at Amazon Firestick, Roku, and others, we decided to stay with what we knew: Chromecast. So far, everything is as expected.

    Some people like remotes, I'm one of them. Unfortunately in my house I'm the only one tech savvy enough to use their phone as a remote, and it caused us to have to return it. Plus, with everything be streamed from a device, rather than the item itself, it wasn't worth the hassle and was returned

    been using this device for a couple months now. its great! I would HIGHLY recommend downloading a "chrome browser" on your laptop/computer.. and then installing "chromecast extension" to mirror your screen on your TV. I also use the device to connect to my mobile phone to stream Spotify while I cook.

    Bought for work and worked great for displaying video and images on televisions in a conference room. It was connected to a 4 way splitter to four televisions and we used a laptop to stream to it and it worked flawlessly,

    Only device that supports dolby atmos and dolby vision in the market with less than <$100 price range. Google has done great job of upgrading their chrome cast to 4K and with support of all new technologies/codecs ( HDR, Dolby Atmos, Dolby Vision) with latest HDCP2.2 and HDMI 2.0A support

    I love this device...I only use it for one thing though st this time and that’s to display pictures from my phone onto the flat screen. Love being able to do this from time to time! I know it has way more capabilities but that’s all I wanted it for to begin with.
