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.

    Just about every day my family and I use the Chromecast. Simple to set up and easy to stream from apps that support Chromecast from our mobile devices.

    Google as always delivers with a product that helps with getting content from A to B simply. Easy to set up with little to no lag time ( based on what's size and speed of your products).

    Chromecast Ultra offers one of the best value-for-money streaming video devices for 4K TV owners. There's not as much benefit for the 1080p crowd

    I feel the item is over priced since its a need if your wish for the home TV to become part of the smart home option. I feel they get you that way. most will feel its a necessity to have like I do.

    This is definitely better than the older version, There's barely any buffer compared to Chromecast 1. Don't buy the Ultra 4K chromecast unless you have a 4K TV

    I purchased this mainly to be able to cast from my PC to the TV. It does well with many devices to include mobile and PC. Just make sure your respected device has cast abilities.

    Got this for my dad so that he can watch YouTube from his iPhone. Works very well. Of course the quality of each video is important for what you see on a 4K TV

    Goodness of Cast functionality in 4k resolution. I have been using Chromecasts from 1st gen and this ultra model works as advertised to cast content in 4k resolution. On a side note, majority of 4k TVs are smart and come with default apps for YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, Netflix and more using which you can directly watch 4k content on TV itself so there is no much need of Chromecast( unless you want to use your smartphone as remote instead of TV remote)
