My older phones had easy ways to connect video output to HDMI, and then to a large TV screen. My current phone does not support MHL output, and does not have a micro HDMI port, so Chromecast is the ONLY way to display the screen contents of my phone on an alternate screen according to manufacturer's...

Overall decent, Works with my google home Easy setup Nice background when idle Frequently laggy(possibly router) Sometimes wish there was a remote

My daughter showed me her Chromecast a year and and it was interesting. Bought one to try and love it. The ability to transfer images, videos, etc from your phone/tablet/computer is an amazing thing and especially makes watching you tube videos enjoyable.

Never received it. Very unhappy.

The new Chromecast is much like the old Chromecast, but that's no bad thing The Chromecast is a great product that's clever on the engineering side but simple to use.

Affordable; Casting is neat; Good video and sound

Little new of note; No dedicated remote; No Amazon Video

Cheap; Works with lots of apps; Google Home integration

No UI or physical remote; No 4K support

This version of chromecast will work with hd content. The higher spec device is for 4k. It is a very useful device easily moved from one TV to another or fitted onto a projector without any difficulty. It is small and more convenient than carrying around an xbox in your pocket.

The Chromecast is amazing. I love being able to binge watch my favourite shows on Netflix Can also watch things on Facebook and YouTube. It feels so cosy with my new Chromecast and I dont have to upgrade to a new TV that I didn't really want to buy or could afford.

I use my Laptop, install Netflix, go onto Wi Fi, open Chrome Browser, search and download Google Cast Icon to the Taskbar. Put Chromecast into a HDMI port of the TV. Open Netflix on the Laptop, click the Cast Icon in Chrome and Netflix goes onto the TV, thanks to Chromecast.

Excellent online service. Value for money. Recommended
