Chromecast with Google TV brings you the entertainment you love, in up to 4K HDR.[3] Get personal recommendations based on your subscriptions, viewing history, and content you own, all in one place. No more switching between apps to decide what to watch. And use the remote to search with your voice.[4] [1]Chromecast with Google TV requires a TV with an HDMI port, a Wi-Fi network, a Google Account, a nearby electrical outlet, and a compatible mobile device. Minimum OS requirements are available at g.co/cast/req. [2]Subscription services may be required.

The redesigned Chromecast player offers an intuitive interface, intelligent search, a useful remote, and support for 4K HDR video (including Dolby Vision).

Consumer Reports

The revamped Google Chromecast is now called Chromecast with Google TV. The player is a 4K model that supports the HDR10, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision HDR formats. The new model comes with a voice remote that has a dedicated button for Google Assistant, the company’s voice-powered digital assistant. Earlier versions lacked a remote control, so you had to use a smartphone or tablet to control the player.
Another change is a home screen that organizes movies and TV shows from all your favorite services in one place, so it’s easier to find what to watch. The player is offered in three colors: Snow (white), Sunrise (pink), and Sky (baby blue).
Best for: Anyone who likes the Android TV platform and the ability to control other compatible smart devices. By contrast, the older Chromecast, which required you to use your smartphone, was really best for tech-savvy users.

I already liked the WebOS on the LG TV, and was curious to see how this new Chromecast would fare. Well, yesterday was the last day I'll be using it as my go-to device. The Chromecast is insulting; it's supposed to suggest movies and shows based on what you like, NOT on who pays Google the most. I've clicked on the "don't show services I don't use" toggle, but Google doesn't care

 The Chromecast is insulting; it's supposed to suggest movies and shows based on what you like, NOT on who pays Google the most. I've clicked on the "don't show services I don't use" toggle, but Google doesn't care.

It's just an ad machine

 Roku, Xbox, etc). As a result, the user experience is a little inconsistent. The watchlist function helps a bit as you can build your "currently watching" or "library" list across multiple streaming services so they're all in one place. However, generally, when you click the item on your list (depending what it is of course) you'll still just be punted to the service it streams from - and you'll have to find it there anyway

 This function (a good idea and why I bought the device) appears to be limited to content with some kind of licensing deal in place to allow for it. As a result it's not necessarily recommending the latest and greatest content, nor is it able to play the content natively in the Google TV user interface. Most of the time, you're still going to have to click into the streaming service your show/movie is on and find it there.

  So yeah, a little disappointing (as licensing limitations usually are) for the audience/user. Google's marketing of this device/platform as an aggregator of all the streaming services should be much clearer about this limitation.  Also to note - the remote itself is slippery and hard to hold on to. Do yourself a favor and get one of the cheap silicone covers to help (sold here on Amazon of course)

Underwhelming content aggregation

I recently discovered making a speaker group of my Chromecast on Google home means I can listen to Spotify and watch the slideshow of my dog pictures on the TV.

What is the best Chromecast tip/hack/use you have discovered in the last month?

 The device could use a little more processing power or possibly RAM. It's a little slow and jittery from time to time but not enough to ruin the experience. The remote is a little awkward to use if you're in a dark room and need to rely on the feel of the remote. It's just awkward and unintuitive

For the most part, I really like the Google Chromecast tv. I have several smart tvs and roku devices in the past so I had my own expectations going in. The device could use a little more processing power or possibly RAM. It's a little slow and jittery from time to time but not enough to ruin the experience

 The remote is a little awkward to use if you're in a dark room and need to rely on the feel of the remote. It's just awkward and unintuitive. The UI is pretty good and I think it's pretty easy to navigate and find what you need. Overall it's a pretty cheap and decent solution

 The UI is pretty good and I think it's pretty easy to navigate and find what you need. Overall it's a pretty cheap and decent solution. It gets the job done.

It's pretty good with a couple of small flaws

Why is the Bluetooth audio on the Chromecast with Google TV so bad. Don’t get me wrong, it’s better than not having any Bluetooth connectivity, but the amount of time I’ve spent reconnecting my AirPods over and over again while my food gets cold is ridiculous. It’s either too loud, too quiet, or the volume doesn’t change with the slider. It is very rarely correct, and when it is it’s after about 5 minutes of tinkering

Chromecast w/ ggl TV Bluetooth Audio

This is a great gadget to take your immersion with Google integration to the next level.  I love the ability to take all streaming platforms and present them in an integrated way.  Why toggle through Netflix and Prime and HBO go to find a comedy, when I can see them presented all in one ribbon, or have Google assistant display it with a verbal command.  Super intuitive and makes my life easier

 By providing more opportunity to hear verbal commands.  3. Integrate phone-saved username and passwords for my streaming platforms.  If I'm going to use my phone or laptop to setup the device

  Wish the chrome cast had its own speaker so I didn't need to have the remote to activate Google assistant to find things. Would also extend the range of my Google home. By providing more opportunity to hear verbal commands.  3

Fantastic tool that constantly evolves

Been waiting for YEARS to be able to stream video on one device and have the audio play on another, can finally do it through Bluetooth. No need for cables across the room anymore. Reason for 4 star is that audio has a minimal stutter every now and then. Might get fixed in an update

 Reason for 4 star is that audio has a minimal stutter every now and then. Might get fixed in an update.

Can finally separate audio and video through Bluetooth

 The UI is a HUGE improvement from the last gen Chromecast that used micro usb. Oh, that being said, USB-C finally! My one gripe is it doesn't come with the 4K adapter, yet advertises as 4K capable. Technically that's not a lie, but shame on Google for not making it clear that the power brick adapter is not included. Like the older Chromecasts, the 4K adapter is a separate wall plug that has an ethernet port on the wall plug

 This should be included or have a version that includes it, esp with how wasteful it is without it! Oh well. Google has been a tad shady with their products from Fi service to Pixel lines these days. While I strayed from those, the Chromecast is still the best for its value. I also just love the new UI, and the voice remote (it works pretty well)

Transform your TV experience with NVIDIA SHIELD TV. Enjoy Netflix, Prime Video, and Vudu in stunning 4K HDR. Cut the cord and ditch your cable box with apps like YouTube TV, Sling TV, and PlayStation Vue. Cast your favorite apps to your TV with Chromecast 4K built-in. Run Plex Media Server and transcode your content to any device. Use the built in Google Assistant to see results on your TV: control playback on your favorite shows, share your photos, see your Nest cam, display your calendar, and check the traffic, also play the latest songs, dim the lights, and so much more, all with your voice.. It’s more than TV. It’s your entire living room—smarter and more connected. Always updated, never duplicated, level up to SHIELD TV and never look back. Power - 40 W power adapter (5-10 W typical consumption)

Unlike earlier Nvidia Shield streaming devices, which seemed more like game consoles that could also stream, the newer Shield TV seems designed specifically for streaming movies and TV shows. In fact, it’s among the top-rated streaming players in our ratings now and also among the priciest. Housed within the player’s unusual cylindrical shape is a relatively fast processor, which powers its AI upscaling; while the player supports native 4K content, it can also upconvert lower-resolution content to a 4K TV’s higher resolution. (Yes, the TV will also do that, but if the Nvidia does a better job, you can choose that.) 
The Shield TV comes with an updated triangular-shaped Bluetooth remote with backlit buttons, including a dedicated one for Netflix. The player also has a remote finder button for locating a misplaced remote.
For more options: Best 4K Streaming Media Devices

Though the pricier Nvidia Shield TV Pro model (below) seems more like a game console that does streaming, the Shield TV’s unusual cylindrical shape gives it a more streaming-focused appearance. It includes the same fast processor and AI upscaling capability, plus support for Dolby Vision HDR and Dolby Atmos and DTS:X 3D sound. Both systems’ smarts are based on the Android TV platform. There’s built-in support for the voice-powered Google Assistant, and they will work with Amazon Alexa devices. The Shield has a remote-finder button on the unit, a feature available only via the Shield TV app with the Pro model.
Apart from price, the main differences between the models are related to memory and storage. For example, the Shield TV lacks the two USB slots found on the Pro but has a microUSB card slot for adding storage. It comes with 8 gigabytes of storage and 2GB of memory, rather than the 16GB/3GB with the Pro. Both models have Ethernet jacks for using a connection to your home network.
Best for: Gamers who also want a solid streaming player with a decent number of features and support for several digital voice assistants, but at a price lower than the Shield TV Pro model.

 First and a game console two or three times a year when family comes over, this shift also makes it more price competitive without affecting the user experience much since. Why would you use this when basically, any bluetooth controller that you already own is gon na work? Just fine with a shield, so with that in mind, the focus of our review is going to be around media streaming, starting with the remote. I cannot say that i've seen a remote quite like this one before it's a bit heavier than your average remote. But i will say the triangular feel does give it a surprisingly comfortable hand, feel the buttons feel pretty nice actually and thanks to the inclusion of an accelerometer, the remote can actually scent when you pick it up and turn on the adjustable back lighting neat the rest Of the design is really nothing special

 Honestly, aside from the gigantic netflix button on the bottom, which honestly i found kind of annoying, because it's so easy to accidentally press. The good news is that you can use the button remapper app to change what any of these buttons do. There'S also a buzzer inside the remote to make it easier to find in case you lose it. Every remote should have this feature once it's on the setup procedure is brain dead, easy pair, your android phone or iphone sign your life away a few times and get greeted by the android tv home screen with recommended content oozing from every one of its pores

 So, let's proceed with this segue to our sponsor honey is a free web browser extension that will find you the best promo codes in the checkout on shopping websites like amazon, ebay and more get it today at jointhoney.com ltt, it's free, both the shield, tv and shield Tv pro feature: nvidia's updated tiger x1 plus 16 nanometer processor, a fully fledged android tv experience and support for 4k hdr video across basically every platform you can imagine, along with cec control on supported devices, meaning that you can use your tv remote to control it and Other than looks the only difference between the two of them is their ram and storage configs, along with support for running a plex media server, which is kind of like your own self-hosted, private, netflix, and support for nvidia share for capturing gameplay and streaming to twitch. It'S also worth noting that the decreased ram on the base model shield means that it's unable to play some of the aaa games, which were ported over to android, which nvidia had dubbed advanced android gaming, or, as i call it on the subject of gaming, you might Have noticed the lack of a shield game controller and the seemingly downgraded specs? The biggest reason for it seems to be that this time around nvidia is back to pushing the android tv aspect of the shield hard with gaming falling to quite literally the 13th section. On the product page, remember guys this is a product from nvidia

 When it breaks, customer service will tell you it’s software on your PC rather than replace a defective unit. I would not recommend this device.

 Moving data (there is very little as my unit is new) has been going on 20 minutes. I say it failed to move.  Update: 30 Dec 17. !

 Tried 3 different cables. No consistent way to get it to connect once it does not connect after wakup the Shield. 3. External Hard Drive plugged to USB continues to run even after Shield is put to sleep

 HDMI Erratic I find the HDMI connection from Shield to my new Sony receiver would sometimes connect, sometimes just black screen. Turn this off, turn then on, unplug replug cables, etc, etc and finally it works. Using latest cables all new from Amazon. All other HDMI to my receiver work, and always done so
