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.

    Not very happy with this product, constantly having issues with unit disconnecting from internet and not reconnecting without hard reboot. Constantly disconnecting and displaying message that i need to reauthorize password. A real pain in the butt, had to resort to disconnecting the unit to keep it from messing up my internet.

    I returned it because I had to configure it through my phone. It was a very clumsy way to configure a device like this. I would have kept it if I could configure it on the TV. That would require a wireless device such as a remote or mouse.

    I bought this item as a streaming device. 1. Needs to have its own power. 2. Seems the programs get hung up and takes a few minutes to correct. (turning off phone and restarting the whole process) . In my opinion, if you have no other way to stream (XBOX, PS4, Smart TV, ect..) its a good choice and does work. I just don't think it was worth my time.

    The 4k is a lie and caution when buying this product as to it may damage your tv like it did to my 75in 4k tv. Less than a month it caused my tv start having problems like making the tv to start turning off and the power light to flicker for a few seconds until finally your tv can no longer turn on and the power light to be constantly to flicker. Apparently it burned out the transformer in the tv and I thought it was just my TVs malfunctioning but no because I connected to another smaller TV while the other tv was being repaired by a technician and the that tv also was starting to have the same problems as the other TV

    Tried this Chromecast Ultra on desktop and laptop, connected via Xfinity WiFi and by ethernet with poor results. Marginal audio, even after trying various modifications on the TV audio. Sometimes stops and starts. Will continue to try to get this to work Bought a Roku product afterwards and it works great.
