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 have a Chromecast from a few years ago which worked pretty well, but the Chromecast Ultra is far superior. The ability to plug it in to a wired network is great. I have not experienced any buffering or pixelation so far. Not having to rely on wifi is a huge advantage.

    I find that it sometimes lags. I'd rather have it built into the tv such as a visio tv. But this helps to stream from my phone to my tv.

    I bought the Ultra 4K version so I could stream the Warriors NBA finals via Chromecast. You get amazing quality and fast speeds.

    Fast and easy streaming, self explanatory set up, and in my opinion safer and more efficient than using smart tv built-in streaming apps.

    Picked this up to test against my current setup (Apple TV 4k). Although I still prefer my Apple TV 4k to the Chromecast Ultra, this is a great (cheaper) option for android/windows users that are looking to have a simple plug and play media device connected to their TV/entertainment system. However, if you are an Apple user I recommend foregoing this device and spending the extra $$$ on the Apple TV. Really dependant on the ecosystem you have adopted.

    Very convenient. Does affect battery life by about 1-5% depending on how long you cast. But very nice device. Especially with Android and iPhone ease of use.

    Don't expect this to be a smart device like Eoku or Firestick. This is a gadget you can Cast too. Like from the Oculus Quest or Smart Phone to your TV. It is new to me so I am still learning, but to watch Netflix on my TV, I have to cast it ftom my phone. I bought it to cast my VR games to my TV. I picked this one for the better specs and built in network port to use instead of Wireless. It is nice to have, but not like other TV sticks. Research exactly what you want to do with it, and go from there. I would like to see more for the price.
