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.

    thought it would be an android compatible version of amazon or apple tv and with similar functionality... no such luck. very disappointing. basically it projects what is running on your phone yo the tv... its not a stand alone device. dont waste money on buying the pro either

    At my wifes urging, we opted to get a 4k Chromecast instead of another Fire tv. Hated it. Did not enjoy trying to use my phone to control it at all. Some people might like it, I did not and took it back after a few hours to exchange for the 4k Fire tv.

    Issue with Passing DD5.1 Via ARC

    This device, as is apparently the case with the generation 1 Chromecast, does NOT pass Dolby Digital 5.1 when it is connected to the TV via the TV's ARC channel. It only passes Stereo sound. The HDR capabilities are great, but this sound limitation IS STUPID!

    I bought this so I could stream y doorbell on my already smart tv, that was the only reason. When trying to cast from my phones, sometimes works, some other dont, just had to lean to live with that.
