Customer Ratings & Reviews

If you share a TV with family members who are too young to have their own phone--I feel this isn't as good as a Roku or Fire that come with a remote (for everyone to use). However--a TV in a study or other room that is only controlled by folks with a phone app to use as a remote--it's super nice. You won't have to keep up with a remote to stream your favorite videos...it's all done with your phone over your home wi-fi. If you have them in more than one room--make sure you "name" the TV or room so you aren't accidentally controlling a TV in another room that someone else might be watching. The streaming quality is very nice ( we aren't using 4k, but if we upgrade the TV later, we don't have to upgrade the Chromecast.

Great addition to our new TV. Plays our 4K videos with no problem.

The new Google - Chromecast Ultra - Black works better and faster.

The summary says it all, this little widger broadcasts your tablet/phone's screen to a TV that does not already come with SMART capabilities. Which is EXACTLY what I expected it to do. Easy setup - Good Picture

Nice to cast pictures from google photos and desktop to tv screen

Purchased this product Nov 2019. Easy to install and works great! Love that it is compatible with my Google Home products and my phone. Reasonably priced. I did purchase it when it was on sale.

really like chromcast. like having my phone as a remote control.

If your TV has multiple 4k@60hz hdmi ports or you only have one and this is your only source of 4k content works fast, easy setup and allows for great picture. Unfortunately my TV only has 1 4k@60hz and the rest are @30hz. Will only allow 4k with @60hz. Recommend if you have the right setup.

This is great for streaming and doesn't have lag thanks to the direct ethernet cord instead of using Wi-Fi. You can still use Wi-Fi but the ethernet cord makes me more efficient but either or it's still great the quality is also fantastic

Works great for streaming Netflix and works with our google home

Highly recommend the updated Chromecast, nice improvements noted.

Since I already have a Smart TV. I purchased Chromecast Ultra for one one reason, which was to have the ability to mirror my desktop and laptop. The Chromecast allows you to cast a tab in the Chrome Browser or your entire desktop from your computer. There is a very noticeable delay in terms of moving the mouse on the TV screen. However this is a good way to play DVDs from your desktop computer onto your flat screen TV.

It's better, faster and I like the Ethernet plug; still on fence in whether it's worth 34 dollars more. Really does the same thing, just faster, have not tried it with 4k content yet.

It's a fast casting device compared to others.Great 4K casting.

4K picture is stunning. They really got it right with this one.

It's awesome being able to cast from my phone directly to my tv

works great would highly recommend it to any one so easy to use

Works as expected. I'm sure it does more than I use it for (or maybe not) but it allows me to catch some tv shows and to cast from my phone to the TV...what I was hoping for

The Chromecast Ultra gives a great picture & sound. But connecting with our Android devices was a nightmare! Almost no worthwhile help from the Google online troubleshooting guides. Your wireless network setup has to be set to exact parameters to keep an Android connection, The PC connection was very easy and good. iphone appears to be good as well. It does work well on even a guest network. But I haven't figured out how to use the hardwired Ethernet connection yet... or... how to get the Android devices to connect again after the initial test! You do need to have the "see other devices on this netwrok" function enabled. And be on the same network, of course. But you should be able to use both the 2.4G & 5G wireless connections from any of the devices, as long as its the same network (which it is in most cases! One router with dual mode capabilities). So why can't I get all of my devices to see the Chromecast... & stay connected!? Still working on it.

simple, easy set-up. Works immediately. Great images and sound
