Samsung The Frame Google Chromecast

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.

I use this in combination of the iOS phone and Google Home app. I have a PLEX server set up to cast movies. I also am able to cast Showtime via Google Home to watch Homeland on Chromecast Ultra. It is faster to process the movie and no lag or synchronization problems because of the ethernet cable. Recommended if you have Plex or just use Google Chrome to watch shows a lot. If you have a TV that is CEC compatible and enabled, you can launch Google Home from the iPhone and it will automatically start both Chromecast Ultra and your TV with just the app.

Purchased the D1 to improve the sound of Google Chromecast audio "puck" - connected them together with a Google short fiber cable. Well worth the price of the D1 because Spotify now sounds musical.

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.

I purchased the Chromecast Ultra as a companion to my Google Home. The Chromecast is attached to my AV receiver which allows me to cast audio and video commands via voice command to my AV system. The device works exactly as promised so I am quite please with it. Only difficulty was in figuring out how to send the commands from the Google Home to it. That was resolved via a very quick support call with Google (Hey Google, play song title on Spotify on Chromecast).

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was really surprised how thin the screen is. It is almost too thin and makes you hesitant to try to move it around. There almost needs to be a shipping support structure that sits on it until you have it in place and can be used if you need to move it around. The set up was relatively easy, though I was surprised it could not find my cable provider. Auto recognizing Google Chromecast made what has been a problematic experience much simpler as was auto adding the app, both for Chromecast and Amazon Fire box. I thought it would control my Samsung sound bar, but it doesn't seem to. I don't particularly care that the cable interface is through an app instead of one of the inputs like on our other Samsung TV's. I like the number of HDMI inputs. Overall good quality picture. The solar charging remote is a "Duh, why doesn't everyone do this." feature that just make sense.

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Samsung The Frame, as the name suggests, looks like a picture frame. The customizable frame and slim-fit wall mount are not just about blending the television into your home decor; they transform it into a piece of art. The anti-reflection matte display enhances viewing by significantly reducing glare, allowing for a more immersive experience.

The sound quality complements the visual experience, delivering clear and immersive audio that matches the high standards set by the visual components. In conclusion, the Samsung LS03D The Frame TV goes beyond being just a television; it is a multifaceted device that enhances the aesthetic and functional aspects of any living space.
