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'm a first time purchaser of Google Chromecast. Easy to set up. Just have to remember that if you're streaming from your computer, you'll want to utilize Chrome vs. IE or Firefox.

    I'm huge into Google products and just bought a new 4k tv and this was the perfect tool to integrate everything I already had with a brand new TV.

    This was an upgrade from a 2nd generation Chromecast and I'm glad I did so I can now enjoy 4k quality streaming and increased WiFi performance!

    My low end Samsung Smart TV didn't work well with YouTubeTv so I added Chromecast and bingo! I bought the Ultra for best support and future 4k upgrade. Setup was a snap!

    Looks amazing for what the device does. Another extra $15 when this thing is on sale instead of the regular Chromecast and you just get better quality.

    Just switched from an Apple phone to Droid and wanted to "cast" to my TV's. This exceeds expectations and is very easy to use. Very similar to my now barely used Apple TVs. Lol

    This was my second Chromecast. I’m very impressed with the streaming quality. I can use my phone, tablet, or computer’s chrome browser to cast to my television.

    Easy to pick up at Best Buy - they brought it to my car. Easy to setup. Easy to use. Makes watching shows or videos from my iPad very easy.

    Needed it for few of the apps which the smart TV didn’t support and eventually realised this made me use it more often than the TV apps itself.

    Bought this because my old Chromecast was no longer playing videos at high framerates. This one works incredibly well so far and I've had no issues at all.

    There is no question the improvement over previous version the Chromecast. Easy setup in 2-3 minutes. The solution for TV's that do not have chrome cast built in .

    I enjoy using the chromecast ultra. It shows crystal clear and I like that I can just use my apps on my phone and display it on my TV. It also works with music and photo apps too

    It is a great product, but I wanted to have a remote other than my phone to use it so I returned it. THe option with 4K is absolutely great if you find the 4K content and have a TV that allows you to reproduce such quality

    I have this hooked up to a Samsung 8000 series 4K television and Google home. There is not much broadcast yet in 4k but this Chromecast Ultra Works flawlessly when I need it to.

    This unit replaced an older non-Ultra. I needed a dongle to go with a new TV. Casting from Google and many other sites works flawlessly. This dongle is a must have unit.

    I have been using the standard (and original) Chromecast since it was introduced. Since buying a 4K TV, I was disappointed to learn that the Chromecast I had would not stream the 4K content. An associate at BestBuy informed me of the Ultra version and I bought it immediately. Since getting it, it has been great for watching content across wifi, never needing wires.
