Chromecast In 4K

I will admit that I do not really use the 4K capabilities all the time, or really see them in action with my smaller 4K tv, however, in general Chromecast is the simplest and best way to view your disparate streaming videos. I was looking for the newest version, but as the old one price. When I found that happen I snapped it up.

I loved my 2nd generation Chromecast. But it was kind of slow. Every time I cast something, it takes about 5 seconds to actually start playing on TV. Today I replaced it with a Chromecast Ultra even though my TV doesn't support 4K. The casting time is reduced to under 1 second. It feels like instant and it's much better experience than before. So I recommend Ultra over the regular Chromecast even if you don't have a 4K TV.

I was so pleased with the standard Chromecast (2nd gen) that I bought the Ultra version for use with my 4K TV. One thing I was surprised to learn was I was able to broadcast the entire desktop and not just what was under the Chrome browser. I relegated the 2nd gen to use at our astronomy club and ue it for demonstrations. Very effective.

Using this to have a newer 4K Chromecast with Google TV and a DVD player so I can run just one HDMI cable to my ceiling-mounted projector. Works great! Switches automatically, and I like that I don't have to plug it into power or fuss with anything.

This is my first chromecast device and it works as expected.

mounted this to the back of my TV to connect both TV and chromecast.

I can’t live without a Roku now!! I used to do Chromecast but it would cause my screen time to rise because I would always be on my phone. I so appreciate being able to be off my phone and watching TV.

This works just like the regular chromecast, but you can (optionally) plug in a wired ethernet, reducing the load on your wifi and improving its reliability.� In addition it's noticeably snappier.� I guess it has a faster processor. Not sure if it's really worth the extra cost...the regular chromecast does everything I really need...but this is a little better than the regular chromecast.

Does everything that Roku + Chromecast ultras do plus more. Blazingly fast! I am not a gamer, but bought the additional gaming controller for my grandkids. Love it!!!

Chromecast devices are simply awesome.� If you are a streaming household, it is so much faster to look things up on your mobile device and press the cast button in the app and put it on the screen.� I can't tell you how many times I tell my wife, "Hey, check out this YouTube video." and then throw it up on the screen in a few seconds.� All the naysayers that thing looking up content on your phone is stupid and can't believe the phone is your remote control just flat out don't get it.� I have Android TV and a Roku television.� I like set top boxes.� But it is MUCH faster to get content on my tv using a mobile device and casting then using a remote control with a set top box.� Also, the voice integration to start up a movie on say Netflix or a song on Google Play Music with my voice via my Google Home is just awesome.� I have the Ultra hooked up to my Roku 4K TV even because we rent or buy Google Play Movies and you can watch them in 4K with the Chromecast Ultra but not with Roku.
