Google Chromecast Ultra

Brilliant Upgrade – This google chromecast ultra upgrade is much easier to use and seems to be faster and more responsive. The problems which I had with the series 1 laser version have all gone and now it is a pleasure to use chromecast Show details

It Can’t connect to my 5G network – Just bought the latest Chromecast but it won’t connect to 5G network only to my slower 2G after the latest update was installed causing a lot of buffering problems. This creates so much frustration. It can be easily fixed by the next update. Show details

I wasn't sure this was going to work – I looked around at different options to get Internet TV to my small second TV. You cant buy small smart TVs so I wanted to turn my small TV in the bedroom into a smart TV. I spoke to a woman at JB HiFi who advised the Google Chromecast was what I needed and to buy the one with a remote control. This way I did not need to use my phone to operate… Read more

it. I bought and easily installed it to a HDMI socket on the TV and it works really well and simply. Just set up the internet connection on the TV using the Chrome cast and I can watch Netflix, ABC Iview and everything else I can on my smart TV. Its a winner!

Top quality caster – Ultra arrived today, setup took about 5 minutes and the hardest part was getting the hdmi plug into the back of a wall mounted tv. Quality of picture can’t be faulted  Show details

The worst streaming product your 4K TV – On Friday 29th January 2021 I purchased Google Chromecast Ultra from the Chirnside Park store but it didn't work on my 4K TV since my TV doesn't have any HDMI Ports so on Sunday 8th August 2021 I returned it and they offered me a full refund. Show details

Awesome product – After messing around with so many different options over the cheers its great to have a product that just works. And its relatively cheap too. Casting from your phone is straightforward (which is how I do it), but you can also do it from any chrome browser on the network if you know how to do it. It is reliant upon your internet for things like Netflix though, so bare that in mind if your internet provider is rubbish like mine is. Show details

This is worth a review – I have recently purchased this from JBHIFI and love it. It does what it says no problem at all streams from your phone in full hd 4k. Can't recommend it enough. Show details

Ethernet port is awesome – Use this almost daily. I one of the best features for me is that having it plugged into the router via ethernet means I can stream things from my PC, which does not have a Wi-Fi connection. For example, I can play a movie through VLC and have it cast to the TV. One it's casting, you can pause or skip through it using your phone like normal. Show details

Perfect streamer ! – Brought the google chrome cast ultra to stream kids shows onto the non smart Tv in 2nd lounge room, works absolutely amazing from my iPhone to tv. Can stop and pause when necessary for kids ! No issues Show details

Cant live without it now! – Brought my Chromecast 3 days ago and I can't remember what I did beforehand now! So easy to set up and activate on my phone and TV. Love the personal touch of the screen saver too. Show details

Perfect for casting kid shows from your phone to the tv – I bought this originally to cast the kids shows from my phone to the tv but oh my god it can do so much more so worth it in my option. Show details

Creating Much Convenience – Chromecast has created so much convenience for video-streaming and audio-streaming. If you do not have a smartTV, you can easily stream YouTube / Netflix on your TV by having the Chromecast plugged into your TV (through the USB port). Show details

Perfect for casting to your TV – I purchased a Google Chromecast originally just for my iPhone. To which i learn it isn't really well suited for it, so I do wish in the future they would be able to cast over many iPhone apps. But after getting a google nest mini, the chromecast has been brought back to life. It can turn my tv on and off, it will cast anything I tell the google nest mini to. It's honestly the perfect addition to any google smart home. Show details

Excellent product love it – This is a simple solution for watching Netflix or FOXTEL of YouTube! Simply sync with your phone and watch on your tv! Have even taught my 70 year old Father in Law how to use it! Great value for money buy!!! Just wish it was compatible with Apple apps

Works perfectly – Bought one to use with my kayo subscription, have not had a single issue for the whole football season, very happy with the product, picture is good and never buffers Show details

Great device and well priced – We purchased our Chrome cast from Myer, which was recommended as we didn’t have a smart tv. It’s been fantastic we can stream our favourite movies. The device was easy to install as well. Great product and well priced. Show details

Easy to setup and use with Iphone – I bought this from JB Hi Fi and connected to my new Samsung Smart TV. This particular TV doesn't really need any more features, but the chromecast works perfectly with apps such as Kayo Sports and Apple TV. This TV without chromecast will not allow me to use Kayo. So Chromecast can still add value to an otherwise new and highly featured TV. Show details

Best Birthday Present Ever! – The Google Chromecast has changed the way we watch TV. We can stream all our favourite TV shows and movies simply and easily from the couch using our phones. Perfect!

Does exactly what we wanted for an excellent price! – We recently purchased our chrome cast as the TV we have in our bedroom isn't the smartest smart TV so we weren't getting the most out of it. Chromecast has definitely filled the void for us. Setup was so easy and it's easy to use! No missing remotes as it's connected through your phone. We researched different streaming devices and this one is by far the best for the price tag! Show details

Can't live without device – Great device to assist in streaming either from websites, hard drives, or streaming video apps. Extremely easy to set-up its almost plug and play, you might need some minor editing of your router config if you have basic security in place. Can't recommend it enough, it's a must have. Show details

Best thing ever – Just purchased Google Chromecast and absolutely love it. I already have Google home and have just purchased Chromecast for my bedroom. Downloaded the app for my phone which now works as a remote control. So easy to use and loving the compact design which stays out of view. Show details

Excellent – Great device! Works well without any issues. I went with Ultra because it has ethernet port unlike the normal google casting device. As WIFI can be really annoying sometime. Wish if its bit cheaper but we can't control prices. Show details

Convenient. In theory – The stupid thing has complicated every attempt to relax and unwind It doesn't do something as simple as connect to your phone via bluetooth. You need both a device connected to the net AND a seperate wifi source. Too. Damn. Complicated. If you try to connect it to the hotspot of your phone you're watching over, you will not see it. Yet that is the… Read more

most common thing someone might want. Why? So that google can ensure that your proxy is blocked so that your privacy is compromised.

I had high hopes for this. Enough with the high ratings, this is a 2 star product at best, you're better off setting a cheap laptops next your your tv. Google; You heartless, greedy, corporate monster. This is not good enough, you have money, do better.

Cannot live without it! – This is simply the best little gadget ever. Bought one for the bedroom television and within a day I bought two more! Can stream anything, simple and easy. Best purchase ever. Show details

Google Chrome – Purchased the Google chrome as I wasn't able to get 7plus or 9now working direct from my tv. Im not very tech savvy but this was simple to set up. Plugged it into the device into the tv, downloaded google home app on my mobile and followed the prompts for set up and it worked perfectly. Show details

Simple and easy to connect, where have I heard this before??? – Try and connect to a PC, an hour later and the lack of instructions and its still a piece of worthless junk. Works on mobile and laptop - very easy installation, I just get sick and tired of companies advertising something that simply doesn't work. The PC cannot download Google Home so its a case of find and seek and this is just crap  Show details

Chromecast Ultra Just Great – I looked into upgrading my TV and make it like a smart TV. The Chromecast ultra was the was great, the price was great $78. Very easy to set up, really just plug in and go, watch YouTube, Netflix etc use you phone or tab as the remote! I got the ultra because it also comes with internet connection as well as WiFi.

Simple and reasonably priced streaming option – It was pretty straight forward and simple to set up. We just plugged it into the tv's HDMI port and into power and then followed the prompts to get the Google home app for the phone. It’s just a matter then of finding the apps we wanted to have ‘cast’ to the tv. Whilst it all works pretty well, I do miss having a dedicated remote. It’s a nuisance… Read more

having to unlock my phone and find the app to pause the program or to turn up the volume. There is a widget that is supposed to be available on the home screen but that doesn’t always work. However, for the price, I shouldn’t complain and it does everything it’s supposed to.

Takes 10 minutes to start each time + few media types work – It's hardly worth using because it never gets detected properly by the TV. It also plays very few media types directly from your phone/tablet. 70% of the time I get 'can't play this format'. _______________________________________ To start it you have to try a magical combination of: - unplugging the power - unplugging from HDMI - both -… Read more

rebooting

and hope that it works.

It's a painful experience.

Also, why didn't G provide an off-switch so I don't have to unplug it to avoid it possibly overheating?

Shameful low quality.

Bit costly but worth it – I bought Chromecast ultra from officeworks for 88$. While a bit more expensive, this is far better than chromecast 1 1. Easy setup 2. 4K support. Hope to see more 4K medias other than Netflix 3. Wired Ethernet 4. Seamless integration with IOS and Android applications 5. Surround sound system support  Show details

Great 4K media player! – Have been waiting to get this and finally turned up today. What a great device, now with my Google Home and the Chromecast Ultra I will be unstoppable. This is an improvement on the original Chromecast being that it supports 4K tv, which I have. The Chromecast Ultra is so easy to setup and the picture it gives while streaming 4K is superb, not much dearer than the standard Chromecast it is well worth the extra dollars.  Show details

Keeps getting better – I owned the version 1 of Chromecast. While a bit more expensive, this is far better - Easy setup - 4K support. Hope to see more 4K medias other than Netflix - Wired Ethernet - Seamless integration with IOS and Android applications Just remember that this is not a standalone device and always needs your phone/table/PC.  Show details

Loving the new Chromecast Ultra! – I've had Chromecast devices since they were first released, and this is definitely the best yet. Setup is so simple with the Google Home smartphone app. Brilliant 4K display - everything is so sharp. It's simple to play Google Play Music, YouTube, Netflix, Stan etc. with one tap. 10/10, would recommend.  Show details
