Being able to to choose the resolutions for playing back videos, is my favourite feature of the new Google Chromecast. I also really like it's remote control. I don't really have to use my phone and switch between apps anymore. There are couple of really useful settings which are unfortunately burried under tons of unnecessary settings, such as controlling of video suggestions. I read some reviews complaining about video suggestions. The options are there to switch off receiving video suggestions from particular video streaming services, it is just hard to find it out like some other useful settings. But, it's a good product, it's not expensive and I think most people will enjoy of using it.

Bought this on the weekend to replace another brand of set top box which was garbage. This is great.... Connected up OK and once it was set up, Is surprisingly fast. The ui is simple and intuitive. Works with all the FTA streaming services so well I have disconnected The aerial. It was a lot cheaper than buying a new TV just for the spare room, So I'm very happy with that. I don't care about 4k content so no comment on that front. My 10yo plasma TV is now smarter than my 2018 smart TV!

Very happy with this purchase. Once set up the remote controls my Yamaha amp for the power and volume. So no need to grab the remote for the amp to turn the volume up down. I have a home theatre set up with a projector. So this device is perfect to feed content. Once setup I have all my apps loaded ready to go, Netflix, Youtube, Kayo, Plex, and all the free to air apps from ch 7 9 10 SBS ABC all good to go. No need now for a separate set top box. Works well, nice and quick to load apps and stream. Great value for money.

This is absolutely perfect for people who don't want to flick through apps to find things to watch. All free to air channels can be watched through it too so you never need to switch between hdmi's. For people who aren't great with technology this is the device everyone's been waiting for, for the last 5 years. Even has Kayo, nothing but positive feedback from me.

The Chromecast with Google TV is an excellent, feature packed streaming stick that matches, if not beats its Fire and Roku competition, but there are a few odd omissions.

4K/60fps streaming ; HDR / Dolby Vision support ; Useful physical remote Google Assistant / smart home support;

Lacks some key apps, especially outside the US ; Could be a little nippier;

Google's Chromecast lineup was getting a bit long in the tooth. The regular Chromecast could only stream 1080p content, while the Chromecast Ultra added 4K but more than doubled the price, and neither came with a remote or had an on-screen menu system. The new Chromecast With Google TV replaces both of these dated media streamers, offering an excellent 4K experience with a remote, an easy-to-use menu system, and all of the benefits of Google TV in a tiny, $49.99 package. It easily rivals the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K, with a sleek interface and loads of functionality, earning our Editors’ Choice for affordable media streamers.Design and Remote The new Chromecast is built similarly to the previous models, with a slim, puck-like body on a short cable that ends in an HDMI plug. This version is a bit more oblong than the circular Chromecast, and its smooth matte finish makes it reminiscent of a bar of soap. It's available in blue, pink, or white, though it doesn't really matter which co...

The Chromecast With Google TV ($49.99) is one of our favorite media streamers, offering 4K HDR streaming and plenty of powerful features for less than $50. You don’t need a 4K media hub if your TV isn’t 4K, though, which is why Google also offers the Chromecast With Google TV (HD). The HD version costs just $29.99 and offers all the same functionality as the 4K model, including HDR10 support, Google Assistant, Google Cast, and a remote that can control your TV. In fact, the only differences between the two are a 1080p resolution and the lack of Dolby Vision—both of which are no loss if used with older TVs. The Chromecast With Google TV (4K) is still a top pick for your 4K TV, but the HD version is an ideal way to keep olders TVs connected, making it our Editors’ Choice winner for HD media streamers.Identical Twins Only available in white, the Chromecast HD is identical to the Chromecast 4K model. It’s a flat, rounded puck about the size and shape of a worn bar of soap, measuring 1...
