    Wasn't compatible with the Samsung N7000. The screen kept turning purple when I would stream anything in HD.

    The sound drops out all the time and you have to disconnect and reconnect. Very annoying. Also spontaneously restarts for no reason.

    This chromecast works only for a few minutes then a green screen or punk screen comes on my tv and it gets disconnected. Do not recommend.

      Hi Lizz,

      Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We can see how the experience of having a device work for a few minutes can be frustrating. When your display shows what you're describing, the most common cause is that your Chromecast is not connected properly to the HDMI port of your TV.

      If the issue still continues, we'd recommend that you contact our customer support team so we can better isolate why you are having this issue: https://support.google.com/chromecast madebygoogle

    Difficult to be setup compare with other intelligent devices. It does what it was suppose to be but take some time to learn, and not big benefit.

    Lousy instructions and no remote. I returned item and bought a Roku Premiere Plus which works very well selecting games from the NHL. Remote is excellent.

    No Lag on streaming,excellent video quality

    I never owned any of the previous versions of Chromecasts because i felt it was too early in the stage to buy a streaming device. I was skeptical if there will be lag while watching videos steaming from any apps or constantly if it would stops for buffering the video. But this ultra-version checked all my questions and surprised pleasantly. I was blown away by the video quality produced from the Chromecast apps. I didn't expect my TV can produce such a great contrast and vibrant colors that you normally see it on HDR TVs. You tube videos are so lively compared to what i had seen when i hooked HDMI to my laptop. I am thoroughly satisfied for a quality product like this. Don't go for earlier version as this one can last for a while until you see something big shift in technology.
