Pros

User interface is way better than roku and quick. Upload time is quick and streaming is smooth. Onn box 2023 especially.



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

I would happily pay double if the dang thing just worked quicker and more reliably. It's often slow to respond to remote commands.

This chromecast is super laggy and the wifi range is horrendous. With 1g internet and 10 feet away but through 1 wall i am lucky to get 20-50mbps and it's impossible to stream smooth. When it does connect it has an intermittent connection where it dis...  Read More

Quality


So far, the picture quality and interface speed are far better than our old device.


Google chromecast with the remote is a nice device.

The interface works fine, but the google tv part of it is pretty useless.

Packaging/appearance


My biggest gripe is the chromecast remote.

Competitiveness


Other than those items, this is an incredible device for the price - the closest competitors are the closed ecosystem apple tv ...  Read More


It has it's own chromecast menu and it includes google tv (free)!


Very similar to a firestick menu wise.

    Edit 2 i really dont like updating reviews like this but i feel it is necessary


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    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


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    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
