Google Chromecast (3rd Generation) Media Streamer - Black

Excellent. Does exactly as I expect. Able to stream from my mobile device from several apps to the television, allowing me to have control.

This product has, hands-down, the most seamless and effortless setup I've ever experienced, despite the packaged instructions being entirely in an Asian language. There are English instructions online, and you don't even need instructions if you're using the Google Home app. When I opened my Google Home app, it immediately found the device without any user input from myself and I was able to set it up within minutes. The streaming quality is quite good by my standards and I haven't noticed any significant buffering or image quality issues yet. The only complaint I have is that it does take a decent bit of time (20-60 seconds) to actually start streaming once you cast to the device. Likewise, any updates you make (pressing pause/play, rewind/fastforward, etc.) seem to take a little bit of time to take effect as well.

I used this for teaching and it works well but it’s not a perfect product. There are limitations for sure. It goes in and out or takes a while to connect. I ended up using for about two years and was obsessed with it. I ended up going back to hardwire. It’s just faster and more reliable. Still, this is worth it for the money. I would consider using it in my home instead of school.

I'm not sure if it's from too much use or too little use, but it seems to be getting worse since I first bought it a while back. I don't use it too often. When I do use it, it if physically hot to the touch. It is a pretty useful tool even if it has a shelf life

Restarts multiple times daily for "updates" or just randomly drops the connection to your phone or internet. Update: It's going in the trash. Each streaming service has their own glitches when linked to the chrome cast. Sometimes you can pause a show with either the streaming service app, the apps notification bar or the chromecast bar, but usually not the first one you try. In order to rewind a program you have to disconnect from the TV, then rewind on your phone, wait for playback to resume and then reconnect to your TV or else you will wind up with a Neverending loading bar that requires a power reset of the chrome cast. I give up, I'm gonna try roku.

Use this to watch a video stream from a smartphone, laptop or tablet on a smart TV. (Note that this version of the Chromecast only supports 1080p resolution. If your TV is better than that, get the latest version.) Plugs into your TV's HDMI port and can be charged from the TV itself if the TV has a charging USB port. By selecting that HDMI port for the TV's source, you can watch whatever you are sending to the chromecast device from your iphone etc. All the streaming apps will display a "cast" button that you can use to send them to the Chromecast. It doesn't work well (if at all) from video players in browsers, but does work with various apps on an iphone like YouTube, Netflix, and Amazon Prime Video. My instructions were all in Japanese, but it was simple enough to figure out how to use it without being able to read them.

It is nice being able to send whatever you are looking at on your phone to the big screen with a push of a button. Your phone is your remote. The USB and the HDMI can plug into the TV for both power and display, so no need to plug into the wall, saving outlet space. For some reason it started in Japanese, but pretty easy to put in English with a quick Google search. I think I fixed mine immediately by connecting to the Google Home app. You need the app to set it up after all.

It is hard to find the 3rd generation Google Chromecast in the market now (or in Amazon at least). You can mostly find the Chromecast with Google TV in the market, also in a cheaper price (non-4K version). As I already have a smart TV, I do not need the Google TV, but I just need a device that allows me to cast Netflix from my phone to the TV, instead of logging in on the TV. This 3rd generation Chromecast works exactly as I wanted, although the set up was in Spanish (which was a bit weird). Worth the purchase!

This is Made in USA product and sincerely i was amazed that i received a USA product. Good quality. Works very well where i can cast YouTube from my mobile to my LED Tv. The plug of the adapter is US style. So please buy a travel adapter or plug as per UAE requirement else you cannot power onnthe product.
