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.

    I bought this to use with streaming services that were not on my Smart TV. It works great. I was not able to stream some things due to the streaming service not the Chromecast.

    I love the LAN capability but if you don't have a 4k TV then just get the regular one, it's really expensive so wait for a sale if you can. Also if you don't have a 4k TV this will still work but the resolution will be at 1080

    I bought this for streaming from my computers or phones. The phones do not have any problems with streaming to this device, none of the computers in my house (4 Windows PC and 2 MacBooks) could stream to this device. So I use the older version of Chromecast to work with those computers.

    Works amazing. The only issue is that it does not have its own OS like some other media players. The 4K is truly 4K and it looks beautiful. Works with nearly every streaming service.

    This product is great. The option I like the most is the built in Ethernet. It is great for 2 reasons: 1) For HD video without wife issues and 2) One less device to bloat your home WiFi.

    It has everything you love (and expect) in a Chromecast, but with the enhanced 4k streaming, it's a no brainer for anyone with a 4K monitor or smart TV.

    So easy to use! No remote or TV interface to bog you down. All you have to do is find a show on your tablet or phone and tap a button. Then beams to your TV for great 4K streaming.

    So I have 2 Apple TV's and they both are quirky and one even stopped playing video...just audio. Figured I would give Chromecast a shot...and it was easy to setup and just works...flawlessly.

    If you purchase 4K content from the Google Play store the Chromecast Ultra is one of the few devices that will allow you to stream in 4k, otherwise your stuck with HD or SD quality depending on the device.

    The Best Way to Use Streaming Apps

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Ever since I built our networked home-entertainment system, the biggest issue has been the difficulty of accessing the associated apps. Do we use the Smart TV's interface, the streaming apps in our BD player, apps built into our Denon receiver, or??? The Chromecast Ultra provides a unified interface for pretty much all streaming apps, with the exception of Amazon Prime of course (although there's a browser workaround for that). I love how easy it is to use my Android tablet to cast Netflix, Vudu, HBO Go, or other streaming sources to whatever device I'm using. It will be even better when Google Home can access services besides Netflix. Then I'll just use voice commands.

    The device is easy to connect and great to use. The only issue I have is that it runs completely off of your phone. There are no apps inside. It uses the apps on your phone. Its literally a screen mirror.
