Customers often highlight the Chromecast Ultra's ease of use, excellent picture quality, and impressive 4K streaming capabilities.

    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

    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

    Really like all my Google Chromecast. Only thing I wish this device had was a USB connection straightbinto the TV for power, instead of to a power outlet. When you use a non Google Power connector it gives a warning of the “Non-standard power supply detected. To stream in 4K, use the power supply included with Chromecast Ultra.” Just done’t want my Chrome cast on unless the TV is on. Other than that I love my Google Chromecast.

    Works well and have used mine for years without issue. Depending on the what you are connecting to and through will make a difference on how difficult it is to set it up. Going through Google Home on my phone was a breeze and took about five minutes. The only issue with the Ultra was that I was not sure if I ever got the ethernet connection to actually work. According to my research online it seemed that it never really worked quite as advertised. Does not really matter though cause even half decent wifi can stream 4K from a streaming site or Plex Server. Out of the the Streaming dongles I stick with Chromecast with the only thing being better IMO is something like an Nvidia Shield.

    I've had every version of the chrome cast, and this one functions the best of all three! Can hard wire it with ethernet for a better connection, and the clarity on our 4k TV is amazing.

    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.

    Good to Mirror Laptop

    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.

    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

    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.
