All good as usual from the Ape :-)

No need to use many remotes to manage home. Entertainment, just the chromecast and phone. Useful to play music as well as visual media.

The Chromecast is an incredibly neat little gadget that allows you to watch almost all of your favourite steaming and catch-up services. It’s incredibly simple to use, clutter-free and comes with a bargain price tag The omission of Amazon Prime Video is exasperating but inevitable so we can’t really fault Google for that. The lack of a physical remote control will also be divisive. While using your smartphone as a remote is a slick experience, it’s no good if your phone’s battery is dead or you want to have it sitting on your charger while you relax in front of the TV. If you’ve already got the 2nd-gen Chromecast there’s little point in upgrading to the new model. But if you’re a Chromecast rookie or you’re still using the original model, then it’s 30 quid well spent.

Bargain price; Easy setup; Good app selection ; Google Home integration;

No remote ; No Amazon Prime Video app; Voice control is limited;

This product has transformed my old TV into a smart TV. Great for you tube tutorials. Easy to use. I recommend this product.

Casting, Google Cast or Chromecast represents one of the greatest steps in recent consumer technology. The ability to fling content from a phone or mobile device to a big-screen TV and control it from the palm of your hand is simple, but great.

Ultra HD; HDR and Dolby Vision support; Ethernet connection; simple; fast; easy to use; affordable

Your smart TV probably offers all these features already; needs a consistent method for confirming the quality you're viewing

If you have a 4K TV and a Netflix subscription, the Chromecast Ultra is worth the £69 asking price. The fact it is so easy to use and works best with the Google Home app means you can easily throw it in a bag and use it on different TVs wherever you are, as your phone or tablet carries your...

Google's Chromecast technology has pretty much become ubiquitous since we reviewed the original media bridge back in 2013 . Chromecast built-in is now a common inclusion in many smart TVs, soundbars, media players, and AV receivers.

Google's Chromecast Ultra is a slick and simple way to serve up tons of 4K Ultra HD content in glistening HDR.

Simple and affordable 4K streaming; Widest HDR support available; Intuitive interface and setup; Supports YouTube HDR; Dual-band Wi-Fi and Ethernet for strong connection

Cross platform search still mediocre; No Amazon video

Google steps into the world of 4K streaming with the Chromecast Ultra. Just like the regular Chromecast , this little HDMI dongle lets you watch streaming content on your TV from services like Hulu, Netflix, and YouTube, but it supports 4K video in HDR .

Ethernet port for reliable 4K streaming; Relatively inexpensive for a 4K media streamer

Requires a smartphone, tablet, or PC; Almost twice the price of the 1080p Chromecast

The Chromecast Ultra does exactly what it promises to do: reliably stream 4K HDR video to compatible TVs. But the marginal increase in quality, coupled with a dearth of 4K content, means the device is hardly a must-buy.
