I was skeptical at first at how well it would work with my non-smart TV's but OMG love it! I can unplug it and take it to different rooms and still works great. Gave it 4 stars because it needs more apps that are compatible with it without having to have Cable or anything like that.

Instead of presenting the new $35 Chromecast alongside the Pixel 3 and Home Hub at its event in October, Google simply released it without a word. This is likely because, while it is indeed a new Chromecast, it doesn't actually do anything new. It's the same media streamer as the previous model, with only a slight design change, support for 1080p60, and a claimed performance bump. It remains a useful device, but without 4K capability it's much less appealing than it was a few years ago. A Slightly New Style }{{/ziffimage>The new Chromecast has the same disc shape as the previous version, but with slightly more rounded edges. It comes in matte black or white, and measures 2.1 inches around and 0.4-inch thick. A 3-inch flat gray ribbon cable extends from the Chromecast and terminates in an HDMI plug. A micro USB port (for power, with the included cable and wall adapter) sits on the opposite edge of the disc, with a reset button to its left and an indicator LED to its right. If you'v...

The new Google Chromecast media streamer is almost completely unchanged from its previous version. It's still functional and affordable, but without 4K it's much less appealing than the competition.

Inexpensive; Responsive; Lots of supported apps; Can mirror mobile device screens and display Chrome tabs

1080p maximum resolution; No on-screen interface or remote

There's (almost) no refuting it: Chromecast Ultra offers one of the best value-for-money streaming video devices for 4K TV owners. There's not as much benefit for the 1080p crowd, but if you’re looking for powerful, fast streaming in a device the size of a wafer for your brand-new UHD TV, there’s no...

Cheap; effective 4K and HDR streaming; Built-in Ethernet adapter; Google Home integration

No native Amazon Video support; No remote control; It'd be easier to navigate with an interface

The next iteration of Chromecast, required if you would like to view content in 4k. A month in and the product is working flawlessly. Absolutely nothing negative to say and is much fast than its predecessors.

If I had known I had to cast everything from my phone I would have just bought another Roku. I am using it for youtubetv and their app is very clunky on the chromecast and MUCH bettter on Roku. FireTV would be even better if they weren't in a feud with google and youtubetv worked on it.

Think its a bit expersive for what it does, but it does do a good job. Not at all impressed that it doesn't just stream Netflix from my devices but tries to content check it against my router IP. Means I need a VPN on my router for extended content to play. But otherwise its simple and effective.

4K and HDR compatible; Casting is easy; Easy to set up;

No Amazon Video; Mains adaptor mandatory; Expensive for what it is;

Apple has followed in Google's steps by announcing a 4K version of its media-streaming box. Though the fourth-gen (non-4K) Apple TV is still available at £149, a 4K version that also supports HDR is now available from £179 (32GB).

I have upgraded my old Chromecast because I was getting delay when I was streaming but now I can see that it wasn't the fault of Chromecast and there was no different. To be honest I don't see to much different from the old one except design and this 4K which I have not used yet.

We love that we can now all catch up on our favourite programmes and also try the ones that are on too late; Great to cast movies Google films and Netflix

It isn't compatible with Amazon prime so we had to pay for Netflix as well
