This is my second. My mom kidnapped my first one as a way of speaking. These devices are a great substitute for a smart TV and even better because they are easy to use.
The Google Chromecast seems to me to be the easiest and least expensive way to get into casting and streaming. The low cost doesn't mean "cheap", the device is technically up-to-date with plenty of memory. It does everything it says it will do and does it flawlessly. I've used it intensively---mainly with Netflix---without a single problem. Pros: (1) It is inexpensive and simple to install; (2) TV connects dependably to the Google Home app, which is also easily downloaded; (3) Zero tech problems so far, great picture on my 50" TV, no buffering or any play interruptions or glitches whatsoever. Cons: (1) Remember, it doesn't come with a remote but that is a trivial concern because play control is via your iOS or Android device; (2) Keep in mind that Play controls are limited to play/pause and quick 30-second jump rewind---no fast-forward or full rewind. I use my regular TV remote to control volume. I recommend Chromecast without any reservations, it is a bargain and works like a charm. Thanks for considering my comments.
Got rid of cable an I am not looking back. Bought two of these for my two upstairs TV's. Got the smallest subscription to Playstation vue that really has all the channels I watch. Love that my kids can also cast their iPads to the TV and watch youtube videos on a bigger screen instead of the iPad. Makes sharing a lot easier too.
I own a Vizio smart TV that is several years old. It has good streaming capability built in but there is some content that is not available. The new Vizio TVs come with Chromecast built-in. I decided to buy the Chromecast to fill in some missing content and basically upgraded my Vizio for $25 instead of HUNDREDS. I got added content and I got all the extra features that Chromecast offers. I like the interface that Chromecast offers when I am not streaming from an app, there are some incredible images. I like that I don't have to open an extra app to stream from my Android phone. I was already using Google's Photos to store my pictures and Photos is fully integrated with Chromecast which makes it easy to view and showcase my pics on the big screen. I am still exploring all the features and apps, but I feel my money was well spent and I am very impressed so far.
I plugged Chromecast into my smart TV, which is considered too old for Amazon Prime to continue to support, and voila...Amazon is mirrored on my TV via my lap top. I also use it in my livingroom on the big screen TV, which no longer supports Youtube and voila Youtube again via my laptop or smartphone! I originally got the chromecast for the free movies that Google Play sent me because I wanted to see them on the big screen and not my phone. That worked too. I have lightening speed internet so I am sure that helps for streaming movies and you do need to use Google chrome instead of internet explorer for it to all work. I am over 50 and not extremely technology savvy so I was very happy I could get all that I wanted without it being overly technical!!
I'll be getting another. Simple and straightforward to use. Love it. No extra remotes to lose. Moved TV with satellite cable box (Dish joey) out of garage because it was hard to get a good signal & downloaded dish anywhere app. TV works great. Very pleased it works with my exercise app as well. It's easier to see the TV screen than my little phone. The app monitors heart rate via bluetooth so I had to make a few attempts at getting the best location so there isn't signal interference. I put the phone close to the TV & chromecast; the bluetooth heartrate monitor seems to overpower the cast signal. I also setup the heart rate monitor and then turn on the TV with casting so the device (phone) can find the heartrate signal, then hit cast and bingo! It works better with phone. Also found a way to use with Amazon fire tablet.
I was looking to buy chromecast for a long time, waiting on the deals :) Finally I got it this holiday, and it is a awesome product. Very easy to setup, instructions are easy to follow, best of all it has long charger cable so that I can connect the charger wires to TV. I only hope that there are more chromecast apps, especially TV apps like TWC and others.. So far everything is working out well.
Have had an original version of this and gave it away because of excessive buffering which made it a waste of money. This one...have it hooked up to my mini-projector and it works like a dream. Only had very little buffering and that was when I was doing quite a few other things at the same time on my PC. Unlike the original...Google has done away with the Chromecast app I was used to using in the Chrome browser and my tablet/smartphone. After a couple of hours of trying to get it to work...finally found updated directions on how to use the browser from the PC. After this...was watching some TV shows from my TV tuner card. The worst part about this is the lack of updated documentation and the software since this has been released. With 35+ years of computer experience and running a media server to have to deal with the lack of clear directions because of upgrades is a travesty and needs to be better communicated for an absolute beginner.
This product does exactly what it is advertised to do. It is VERY easy to set up and get operational. If you are cutting the cable, this is something you really should try. Of course when you get something that is nice, you think of ways to improve it. It would be sweet to be able to project any window or the entire desktop if on a PC to the TV but Windows ans Apple will probably never let others in. I have tried the Google Chromecast from my family room TV using an iPhone, Windows 10 PC and MAC. All work the same way and equally enjoyed. I will be getting 2 more for other areas in the house. I defiantly recommend this item.
If you are only going to use the Chromecast to stream content in your Chrome browser, this does the job for $35. If you intend to stream anything else, there is a bit of lag. We also got a lemon on the first go-around and had to buy another Chromecast to get it to work.
