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 it to project my laptop screen on a big TV wirelessly. With the Chrome plugin, it works extremely well. That you can get TV content is a plus.

    You can definitely tell the difference between the original model and the upgraded model; I have both. Spend the extra few bucks to get this one.

    The 1st gen had problems stopping the movie. But the Ultra is improved, giving you real 4k and better features. Worth a look.

    Works just fine. I had the older one, and had many more issues with that. This one seems to play nicer. Does get hot, which is concerning.

    Couldn't be happier with the chromecast ultra. This is a must have if you have the WatchESPN app on your phone. Nothing like watching sports in 4K!
