    If you are upgrading from the Chromecast with google TV 4K, its not worth paying double the price, Agree its faster but not higjly noticeable though double RAM and Ethernet present. Picture amd audio quality is same as previous midel. I have 200 inch screen in a dedicated home theater and didn’t see any difference. Expected a lot with double the price. If looking for a chromecast, better go with older model itself. May be you can go with this if looking to use other options of using othrr than streaming. If its just for streaming, not worth $99

    Had a Google Chromecast & a smart TV originally. Both were slow, and just always had issues with connecting to my Denon Atmos AVR. This is not only a major upgrade, but picture quality even increased. Highly recommend.

    Awesome Google TV / Android based device. Remote works great to control the TV (power / audio/ input). Having a gigabit ethernet port is great as well.

    Works great, upgraded from a 4k Chromecast with Google TV. This seems faster and does not keep turning off wifi like the old one did.

    I love this google tv device. It was easy to set up and connected to my Google account nicely. But what is really nice for me is the a can connect headphones via bluetooth, so i can hear shows and movies without disturbing the household.

    Google's best streamer to date.

    I always come away impressed with Google's chromecast and streamer products. One of the best things about this is the layout of content on the home screen, where it gives you easy access to plenty of free tv streaming in addition to the normal apps like netflix, prime, hbo, ect. Where it beats the apple tv: I love the option for ethernet. Where it fails against the apple tv: The interface can get a little stuttery at times. The picture brightness seems to be darker than when I use an apple tv in the same port on my tv.

    Its a google product so you never know what to expect. The item is packaged very well. The item was not easy to setup since it connected to my internet easily via the google home app but then my phone couldn't see it after that I need to proceed with manual setup. Device updated and thought everything was working but it is not turning the TV off and on. Once device is setup, I am not able to find where to setup the TV so it will turn the TV off and on when turning the device on. I might need to just reset the device and start over. I am liking that you can have dual profiles on one device though since that was missing on the last google device. Super easy to use and everything is very snappy and fast. I would recommend this device besides the painful setup process.

    We got rid of cable and got this to act as our new media hub for YouTube TV and streaming apps instead of using the built-in apps on Smart TV. Easy to setup, quick and snappy navigation, and easy integration into our smart home.

    Pretty decent streaming box. I appreciate the ability to have express VPN on it, kinda buggy software but hey that's Google. If you're in the ecosystem this is a good buy/upgrade for a Chromecast 4k
