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 just updated to the Chromecast Ultra from the original Chromecast. The Ultra has faster connection, and if you use the Google Home app, there are so many different settings and suggestions for you to get started. If you are looking into the world of Smart Home tech. The best 2 devices to start with are the Google Chromecast Ultra and the Google Home mini in my opinion. If you are still using the original Chromecast do yourself a favor and upgrade to the Chromecast Ultra.

    Not quite as intuitive as the Roku, but works great for streaming in 4k. Also, can be hard-wired direct into cat cable. Would like to see a more intuitive interface.

    Not sure I needed to buy this since the TV I bought was a smart TV but it works well. I do wish it had dts 5.1 capability but the 4k streaming portion works well.

    Oh well: Xfinity blocks mirroring

    I initially bought this device to be able to mirror Xfinity tv (from my mobile device) straight to the tv. I thought it would be a great option to eliminate a cable box. It won't work for that, because the Xfinity app blocks mirroring. All other mirroring features work extremely well. If you want a device that mirrors in general, it's awesome. However, if your idea is like mine, then you're out of luck.

    I need to allow 10-15 minutes to queue up a show to stream & then be patient when it stops several times thru a 50min program. It’s as fun as dial-up internet. It works a bit more smoothly if you are trying to cast a program you have downloaded from the phone to the tv. We have a 2013-era Sony Bravia TV, and iPhones. We’ve cast programming from Netflix downloads, Amazon Prime Video downloads, & CBS streaming.
