Smooth integration with supported apps, Easy to set up, Useful accessories, Supports multiple casts on same network, Cheap
Chrome integration is limited
If the Chromecast cost as much as the Apple TV (or even half as much), it would compare poorly. At this price level, however, it's the most affordable way to access online media services on your HDTV, even if those services are limited – and as such it s...
The Google Chromecast is the least expensive way to access online services on your HDTV if you can't do so already, even if more functional, pricier options are available....
Uses the same remote as the 4K iteration, Fantastic for almost any scenario, Runs Android 12 out of the box, Includes HDR support
Limited storage space, 1080p-only might be frustrating for some
The Chromecast with Google TV (HD) might leave you scratching your head a bit if you try to figure out why it took Google so long to release a non-4K version of its streaming dongle. But now that it's here, you would be hard-pressed to find a better solut...
Small dongle footprint, Super easy to set up and use, Works with apps on Android and iOS
If you need 4K you'll need to pay, Phones are lousy remote controls, This isn't a full streaming solution
Chromecast 2018 Should you buy it?If need Chromecast support but definitely do not need 4K resolution, then this is what you'll get. (Because it's also the only other option.)I still recommend buying a Chromecast Ultra - even if you don't yet have a 4K TV...

New design avoids dust and scratches, Can now stream 1080p at 60 fps, Slightly faster performance, Google Assistant support is very convenient
No 4K when Roku offers it at basically the same price, No Amazon Video, Lack of on-screen menu and built-in apps remains a turn-off for some, No physical remote

Abstract: It's the holiday season, which means millions of people are leaving stores with a new 4K Ultra HD TV. Google and Roku are hoping that they'll also tack something else onto that big purchase: a streaming gadget. Both companies have recently released produc...
While the competition between the three devices was heated and close, the Chromecast eked out a victory over its competitors (85 points out of a possible 100), with the Fire TV Stick second (81/100) and the Roku Stick last (80/100). The Chromecast simply...
Abstract: Apple TV offers consumers the ability to beam music and video from any Apple device to their living room's TV, except it only works on Apple devices. Google's new Chromecast, however, plugs into your TV's HDMI port and assuming you've paired it with your...
It's quicker than the old version and the new app is great. The built-in HDMI cable is a nice touch. Really, though, it just works really well, it's easy to use, and it's only $35,
Google still doesn't have a remote control for Chromecast, which makes it the only streamer I can think of that doesn't have one. You have to use your phone, tablet, or computer, which can be a pain in the arse, especially if you have to enter a password
If you don’t already have a Chromecast, then yeah, you should. $35 is so cheap for a device as capable and simple to use as this. But if you already have the original Chromecast, is it worth upgrading? I’d say that depends on how your current system is pe...
