    This is by far the best way to watch TV. It is quick and I can’t find shoes easily on my phone and cast them to my HD TV. I highly recommend it.

    Device does exactly what I thought it would. It streams fast and works together with my Google Home. Almost any movie at my beck and call with no waiting.

    So got this for the new TV - honestly i don't use this too much as we have a roku but have found this is the easiest way for guests to "show us that youtube video" or something from their phone.

    bought this for my son as a christmas gift, I liked the fact that you are able to plug an ethernet cable into it instead of relying on the wifi connection.

    This device is perfect for turning any non smart tv into streaming cornucopia! This pairs very well with home theater projectors as well.

    Bought this to convert an older TV into a smarter TV. Works great. Now I can watch Netflix and Hulu without having to go through my laptop or smart phone.

    We dont have cable and we love to browse and watch online and Chromecast lets us cast the browser on the TV. Also, you can use the apps to watch directly,

    Recently purchased to go with my new 4k tv. Just as easy to set up as my other Chromecast devices. In my opinion, the best there is for streaming content!

    The Google chrome cast allows us to beam content from our phone onto the tv. There are a lot of apps that pair with this device like YouTube and Hulu

    Chromecast does as advertised. Can stream virtually anything from my iPhone. Now if I could just figure out the surroundsound feature…

    Before purchasing, I already had a Google Chromecast that I have had for over 3 years that still works well. I decided to buy the Ultra specifically for the ethernet port, but the 4K compatibility was a bonus. I love using Chromecast to cast Spotify on the TV and sound bar during parties, but we sometimes had wifi issues when many people were connected to our network. Since switching to the Ultra, we haven't had any connection problems at all. I still use my standard Chromecast on another TV now. Highly recommend!

    It has an amazing picture quality but when I cast from my phone lags might be due to my Internet keeping it recommend it hopefully my Internet will get better when I move

    All the functionality I had before but the best part is that I can connect an ethernet cable to it rather than wifi. My house is completely wired and I prefer to keep eveything wired if I can.

    Able to cast almost all my services (except amazon of course) to my TV. Plays content in 4K HDR. I am not sure if it supports Dolby Vision...
