Abstract: When Google released the Google Chromecast last year and it made a big splash and sold briskly thanks to the low price and simple, but useful functionality. Roku didn't want to be outdone; it followed with the Roku Streaming Stick to compete with Google's...

Abstract: Buying a new smart TV is expensive business, and to be quite honest, it's probably not a great idea, as once you have spent hundreds/thousands of pounds on a new TV then you are locked in to its onboard hardware for the TV's lifetime – which may well be o...
Streams full-screen videos from Netflix and YouTube, Mirrors Websites, Control videos from computer or mobile device
Must go to Chromecast Website to learn when new apps become compatible, No central control panel or app, Clumsy to pause video streaming from a phone when a call comes in
For $35 and a little practice, this is the best streaming solution available to date....
Affordably priced, Sleek & portable, Easy setup process, Supports streaming from most smartphones, tablets, & computers
Not a standalone player like Amazon's Fire TV or Roku devices, Missing some core apps like Amazon Instant Video, TWC, Comcast, Redbox Instant, and Spotify
I think Google's Chromecast is a no-brainer purchase for any consumer looking to stream multimedia to their HDTV. While it may not be a standalone player like Amazon's Fire TV or the Roku Stick, you can't beat the price and the ease of use that the Chrome...
Cheapest major streaming devic, Offers most of the major streaming service, Incredibly easy to set up and us, Easy for developers to create new apps
Fewer channels than competitor, Requires computer or mobile devic, Some performance hiccup, Third-party apps generally not that useful
The Chromecast is clever and affordable way to enjoy Internet video on the big screen. If you are the type of person who wants to start a movie on your computer while surfing the net, resume it on the TV after dinner and finish it on your tablet in bed...

Abstract: The Chromecast essentially syncs your TV with what you are watching online from a mobile app or your computer browser (if it's Google Chrome). Technically, it's not streaming directly from your mobile device or laptop Web browser window, but that's what i...

Inexpensive, Simple and easy to set up, App implementation is slick and easy to use
Limited app support for now, Chrome browser casting is a less-than-ideal UX and requires fairly new computer hardware to stream in HD
Chromecast is an easy way to stream internet video to your TV from almost any source. With a price of just $35 it's a bona fide steal....
Rocksolid performance, best user experience in the business, and Bluray quality downloads
You need the disc vault to store your Blurays, the system is expensive, and the Kscape doesn't support HD music files (yet)
The Google Chromecast isn't the perfect fit for everyone. Those who just want a simple, one-box source to watch Netflix and other Web-based content on their TV will be happier with a Roku or Apple TV. However, if you're a smartphone, tablet, or laptop own...
Dirt cheap. Trouble-free setup. Elegant presentation for supported services.
Limited launch support from streaming services. Requires AC power for HDTVs without USB port. Requires hacks or workarounds for QuickTime, iTunes, and other content
It’s perfect for quickly and cheaply adding Netflix or YouTube to additional televisions or adding streaming options while on the go. It’s now up to Google to broaden its content possibilities or risk watching Chromecast go the way of Google TV. Prod...
