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 was easy to set up and works fine, however, I wish the chord was longer in order to allow for greater placement and wifi coverage.

    So far chromecast has been a toy for me. Not something critical. I am able to cast my android phone - but note, the screen size of the s8+ does not work well with it.

    Was encouraged to purchase by son’s use. Competition with Amazon limits availability. Also have been unable to cast a foreign language feed. Am waiting to cut the cord.

    I use this Chromecast for my VR adventures lol I love it! Also, you can take it with you anywhere else, if you’re using it as well for VR.

    The product may be good, but I didn't found any special use for this on a 4K smart tv except casting from chrome. This casting can be done in other ways with less cost as well.

    I love this product but it tends to disconnect/stop communicating with my phone sometimes. I have to power down my whole TV a lot just to get the connection back.

    Do not purchase if you already have a Smart TV

    I purchased one of these because I have some recorded content with Dolby Vision Support. I thought this was a device that would operate like many of the other streaming/media players out there. It doesn't. It literally does the same exact thing as my Onkyo Amp/LG TV does. If you have a Smart phone, Tablet, or a browser extension, you can CAST some content from your device to the TV. That's it.... So if you have an Amp or a Smart TV, save your money. This device will not give you anything else.

    Love to watch streaming video with the Chromecast Ultra - and to see family photos on the screen when not watching a show.

    It isn't perfect for everyone, but if you like the Google approach to content and streaming it is worth the upgrade for my 4k HDR TV.
