    Using this for streaming since we cut the cord. The TV's streaming was slow and would glitch. Using the Chromecast has resolved that issue and we are watching our favorite shows now.

    Not sure what you can say about a Google Chromecast, but it works as advertised. This is my 3rd one, I like them, because I can cast my entire desktop. You won't be watching video of the casting, but for screen share it's great.

    I like this way to connect my laptop or iOS devices to my TV. Sometimes works better than the Apple TV. This device is so convenient because you can be using your iPhone for phone calls while it is casting which Apple TV can't.

    If you live in the google ecosystem, this will be well worth it to expand that usage. It has your typical apps and streaming services, with the added bonus of the ability to mirror anything if you use chrome. I love it!

    Google has done it again! The Chromecast Ultra is great on my TV. I can screen anything on my phone to the TV and I can tell my Google Home to play something on the TV and it plays! Pretty awesome. Highly recommended.

    Bought this because my new LG tv did not support chromecast which I think is superior to screen mirroring. My older Sony tv was andriod and nativelly supported chromecast.

    When it works, the chrome cast is good. Sometimes it can’t be found or connected to. Having to use your mobile device to control it 100% of the time isn’t always convenient.

      Hi Ryan,

      Thank you for your feedback. Sorry to hear you're experiencing some connectivity issues with your Chromecast.

      We understand having to use your mobile phone may not be convenient all the time, and we take your feedback seriously.

      Connectivity issues can be related to your Google Home app, your Wi-Fi bandwidth availability, or to the possibility that both your mobile device and Chromecast are not on the Wi-Fi network. We would be able to diagnose the underlying issue better if we can get more information on the issue.

      If you can reach out to us in the following support link, we can take a closer look at the issue and help resolve it: https://support.google.com/chromecast/contactflow/ madebygoogle

    Our smart TV was having issues running Google movies, so purchased this and same thing. A few days later update came through and there was no longer a need for this.

    We purchased the chromecast because we love our google minis and wanted more compatible items. However, given that we already have a smart tv, the chromecast required me to set the tv to another hdmi and then stream networks I already had in my tv. For me, it was no different than speaking into my remote and telling it to open Netflix or HBO. In addition, you can't scroll through it like I can with my TV. I need to know exactly what I want to watch ahead of time, and using my phone as a conduit to stream didn't make sense either. I think if you don't have these built into your TV or whatever device your using it can be useful, but for me it wasn't doing more than I already could do.

    We use the Chromecast to stream marketing information to a TV monitor in our wine shop. Works great. Use to have to tether the laptop to the monitor which didn't look great and took up space behind the register counter. .

    I really enjoy the chromecast. The only issue I had with it was it wouldnt stream anything from Amazon but I dont use Amazon a whole lot. Other than that I have been having a great experience.

    This is the best version of the Google Chromecast to date, in my opinion. The connection to my videos, in order to stream them to my tv is pretty seamless and very stable.

    Broadcast television is great, but streaming is the future, and Google's Chromecast is one of the easiest ways of getting video streams onto your existing non-smart TV.
