Cons
It feels like a huge waste of money about a year after purchasing it. It really bugs some people (myself included) and renders the product basically worthless. Wait for the next generation.
User interface is garbage, and this is coming from someone very familiar with the android operating system. It's also difficult to get to various areas that you'd expect to have shortcuts. Shield pro > onn 4k gcwgtvonn 4k is better if you don't car... Read More

There was an update to chromecast some time this year which impacted some lg tv owners i am now one of them
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The issue for is that my lg 4k oled c8 can no longer be configured to display 4k 60fps and hdr
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
To get hdr i have to choose to either use 1080p or 4k at only 30fps
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Neither of those is acceptable given my tv can display the full 4k with hdr

This is not a cable issue or an issue with this specific chromecast i have 4 of these in the house and none of them work on the lg 4k anymore
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Just be aware that this issue has presented itself to others using pre 2020 lg 4k tvs such as the c6 c7 c8
