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.

    Was using to cast at office. Always had trouble connecting. Bought a LG Smart TV instead.

    For an Android device, it does not screen cast my Android Note 9 phone. Pretty pathetic. Everything is up to date on all devices.

    Seems that it’s only use was for gear VR. I bought it for that purpose and haven’t used it for anything else. Didn’t really care for it

    Would not setup therefore did not work. I have earlier versions and they worked fine so I did not give it a 1 rating.

    Faces turned blue, would have to shut off and restart. The longer you watched the more it would stop to reboot, then each time it would take longer and longer to get back to the program and/or change to another station.

    Bought this and used it maybe once every other week if that and after just a year of use it broke and would not connect the the TV or receiver. Tried resetting it and it would not register. Called Google and they said it was defective but they could not replace it since it was just over a year old. I would never recommend this!

    Rep told me there were lots of free channels. After I spent the time buying the product and hooking up (which was not nearly as intuitive as he indicated) I found that I needed to do monthly subscriptions to get any use of the product. I also started getting an onslaught of useless emails!!!!!!!!!! What a waste of time and effort. Very disappointing.
