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.

    The set up for this product was pretty easy. The home app, which needs to be down loaded on your cell phone or tablet picks up the device quickly and the rest is a breeze.

    I have the original chromecast but, just got a 4k tv so, in order to view your digital 4k content this chromecast is necessary. So far it's working as advertised.
