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.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

    My son wanted this to turn his tv into a smart tv. Easy and not very expensive way to use all your apps from your phone on your TV.

    I like the idea of a phone as a remote bc I always have it on me and don't lose it as much. Overall good clear device with no problems so far

    This is a major upgrade to the gen 1 chromecast. It's very speedy and does a great job regulating bandwidth.

    Perfect beaming 4K smart gadget

    Perfect to beam, screen share. Funny thing: it shared my MacBook, Windows PC screen perfect and would not connect to my brand new Chromebook (for desktop share) (would work well for Youtube beam from the Chromebook). Looked up on Google.. some people had this weird problem. Worked well with the Chromebook after re-starting the router. Unless you are a "I'm ready to go broke but I'll buy only Apple" person, I don't think you need the Apple TV when you have Chromecast... lol.

    Chromecast ultra works great with Google home, but the upgrade from the regular Chromecast is not worth it unless you have it directly connected via Ethernet

    Plug it in, stream to it. It's that simple. I recommend setting up your tv to allow external device to control over HDMI.

    The unit works much faster that the first-generation Chromecast. It would be nice to be able to set the output resolution of the unit though based on the stream in use.
