Great to use on our tv that's in a blind spot of our wireless network. The regular Googlecast would buffer once in a while. Since I had already wired the room for ethernet this work perfectly! Future proof for 4K as well.

I bought this device because my son suggested to to augment my "smart" tv that is now "dumb" to Disney +. My Toshiba was getting Disney + but now will not....no matter what I do about installing the app, deleting the app, unplugging my tv and/or router. this device works like a charm. I plugged it it, followed the directions, and now I can "cast" my apps from my iPhone to the tv.....fabulous!! I got to see Hamilton!!! My grandchildren can now enjoy Disney + again. Moral of the story...there are more ways to skin a cat....and a 70 year old woman can learn how to do stuff if clear directions are given!!

I had already purchased many Google homes, so I branched out and purchased this. I love it!! Set up was easy, and the casting is great....so great in fact that I purchased four more for my home.

Super easy setup and 6 months of YouTube Red is a nice add on. No issues to report, and environmentally smart packaging. Great integration with a smart home setup. Faster than the first Chromecast, and has great graphics.

An upgrade over the normal Chromecast, but the upgrade is not for everyone. With the Chromecast Ultra, you will see better quality videos (it's really dependent on your internet connection, but the Ethernet support really helps in my case), a faster response time to connecting, and I've noticed my phone's connection tends to drops less with this upgraded version.
Cons: 4K content is lacking unless you are willing to pay extra. The regular chromecast is sufficient for most people.
Note: The Ultra gives you the option to use an Ethernet cable or WiFi, but I would definitely recommend using an Ethernet cable unless you have very strong WiFi. The 4K content or HD content can take a lot of bandwidth.

Easy to set up and operate. Controls are simple, and Google Stadia connection can be displayed on the screen. Would benefit, however, from having a remote to control programming without having to use a smartphone.

It's a Chromecast. Does what it says on the tin. It's a smart TV device that let's you "cast" content from your app to the TV but your phone doesn't do the heavy lifting of loading the content, the Chromecast does which is understandable. Have a nice day!
It's WAY too expensive for the uptick in resolution and color output. The Chromecast with Google TV is much better value than this. The only reason to get it now is because of Stadia functionality which is already in the Chromecast with Google TV as of Fall 2021.
