The absolute killer feature for me is the cross platform watchlist. That's huge. I really dig it.

I just got my Chromecast with Google TV and I must say, it's 1, 000 times better than the original Chromecast. For me, the most impressive feature so far is that this device has Bluetooth built in. It will allow you to use Bluetooth devices like keyboards as well as earbuds/headphones and the headphones sound awesome! Also, if you subscribe to Google TV, then you will get another header on the main screen entitle "Live" which will take you instantly to the current Live TV channel lineup.

I'm a Google Fan! Looking forward to getting this device to replace my old original Chromecast.

Great review, I agree with you, I bought one and liked it so well I bought two more to replace all my Roku Ultras, CCwGTV is much faster and more responsive. I can even tell my Google Home devices to turn on or off the bedroom TV or whichever TV they are attached to and on or off it goes. Can also use the google or nest home devices to launch different apps as well. There also is a Android TV remote in the Google Play Store for Android phones or tablets. Thanks again for the review.

I bought a google chromast tv and i love

My main driver is the Apple TV 4K which I have on my main TV. But I also have FireTV Sticks on that as well as all my other TVs. I absolutely hate the FireTV interface and already have two of the new Chromecasts with Google TV. I just love the interface and the fact that it makes suggestions outside of the apps themselves. Plus I have YouTube TV and their guide is built right into Google TV and makes the experience much more seamless. I still love my Apple TV 4K, especially the "Watch Now" feature that suggests the next episode of a show or movies you have in progress. But this new Chromecast with Google TV has come a long way and makes it very close. I'm using this as my main driver for over a week now and I must say that I absolutely love it! Thanks for such a great video!

Stadia is not officially supported at the moment but you can actually just sideload the app and it will work.

I Love that it Shows my Youtube tv Live guide on it without me having to launch Youtube TV

You can not make a home theater with new Nest speakers... very strange that google add Netflix button on remote control on new Chromecast but can not stream audio to new Nest

[OSussannah]

If I buy this new Chromecast and the new Nest speakers....can I listen to the TV audio via the Nest speakers?

Worth every penny! note, most colours sold out, white is generally what you will get

I bought one and love it. I will be buying my sister one for Xmas.

I bought 2 for Christmas gifts this year. I also have Android TV (although it's an older version currently) on my Sony X90CH and LOVE it. After YEARS waiting for Bixby to get a brain, it was a breath of fresh air having a voice assistant that actually works! I can ask for even obscure band and song names, and it figures out what I said contextually! You can actually see it "think" as it tries to figure out what you said. Neat! Also, unlike Roku, I have never heard of an app or channel being delisted from Chromecast or Android. Roku seems to have that problem every other week, with one channel or another getting in a financial dispute and pulling their content. The deal sealer is the price. With Apple TVs being $179 or more, Chromecast at $50 is the cheapest fully functional 4k streaming solution on the market. Many will buy one based on that alone! Fortunately, aside from being cheap, it's also a joy to use. BTW, the addition of an AppleTV app means that it will be a great solution for Apple users as well!

Is there no individual profile setting? For families that’s kind of a must have.

[SkyWarrior]

could this chromecast tv be connected to a pair of nest audio to build a home theater?

[susanstevens]

Do you need an antenna with the Google chromecast tv.

[chinarut]

@8:37 is anyone else getting abysmal performance w the Prime Video app? it takes *forever* to load a video over a 200 Mbit connection.

what is suspect is while the screen is black, sometimes some German text blips by and it goes back to black before finally loading in English. while I don't know for sure, it's like it's trying to connect to German Amazon servers first?

anyone have any insight into this given all our other apps like YouTube & Netflix work just fine?!

[nadeemakhtar]

Hey can you please tell me when is it going to be launched in India

[kevinc]

Can you use the USBc to OTG Hub for Ethernet, storage?

[Mayhem]

So, I can use this on my WEBOS equipped LG smart tv to install google apps and use those apps without my phone whatsoever?
