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.

    We have had the much older model of google chrome-cast and glad that we decided to purchase this model. worth every penny especially when you can cast anything from your phone to the TV.

    So much better than the standard HD Chromcast that I had several years ago. Easily connects my 4k OLED tv to any device...no need for Apple TV. Very easy to set up, and it connects lightning fast.

    I prefer this over the Amazon Firestick. Boot up is fast and the streaming is seamless as opposed to the Firestick. With Chromecast, I can cast from my phone, webpage, etc.

    Google has put an emphasis on providing easy tools to allow you to use the internet to it's fullest. The Chromecast Ultra is simple plug and play with deep clarity in the picture and sound.

    Chromecast has cool stuff that it does, like casting whatever I'm watching on the internet (through a third party app). The thing I don't like is that it doesn't have a home menu or a remote. I know for some this is a selling point, but for me to open my phone, find the app, search what I want, then cast, its waaaay more than I want to do. I'd like there to be a remote first off. And with the remote there should be a home screen to configure and discover apps like one would use the google home app, only NOT having to go through their device to get to the app. If you have multiple devices than obviously this would not be an issue. But since I use my phone it is for me.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    We connect Google Chromecasts to all our office TVs...they make it super-easy for employees with Windows machines to cast to the TVs for presentations and video conferences.

    Works great. I have a 4K Samsung smart TV that I am using this device on . Streaming seems to be much more fluid than just streaming straight to the device. Picture and sound quality are great.

    If you've ever wondered how do I bring what's on my phone to my tv here is your answer. With a simple and easy setup and the help of wifi you can easily steam from your phone straight to your tv.

    i had the previous model and this one works about the same, maybe if you have a 4K television you can tell the difference but not on a 720p television.

    I replaced a 1st generation Chromecast with this one. I am much happier with this one. No longer does MLB.TV buffer during live games, or at least rarely does it happen.

    I bought this after owning both prior versions of the regular chrome cast. I figured since I upgraded my TV to 4k, time to take advantage of the Ultra 4k streaming ability. You won't be disappointed.

    If you're looking for an accessory that can display and/or play your pictures, videos, music, and various apps (YouTube, photo apps, etc) this is about as easy and as cheap as it comes.

    Needs a menu setting for ethernet rather then wondering if it connected wireless or wired. Works great both ways.

    Makes it easy to cast shows to TV so kids aren't just starting at iPads all the time. Only issue is I need to reset it every so often so it works.
