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 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.

    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.

    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.
