Q: QuestionDo you need a separate device to cast with?(3 answers)
A: AnswerNo. Its not like other Chromecast devices where you cast from a phone or computer. Google TV has its own interface where you add all your apps. All you need is the Google Home App on phone for the initial setup.Answered by TerryR
- A: AnswerIf your TV has a USB 3 it will work, other wise it won't. USB 2 will give a wall outlet error, 1 -1.4 amp will give a boot loop, 1.5+ will work

Q: QuestionIs there a version of this which works with Apple devices?(2 answers)
A: AnswerWe have three iPhones and to ipads in the house. It functions just like any other Chromecast for devices connecting to it. So yes Apple devices work with the Casting feature. The Google TV feature is explicitly for TV sets and the experience is like AppleTV in that regard. But the nice part about this product is you get both.Answered by Maxamis4
- A: AnswerYes the main device does need to be plugged into a power supply that is plugged into the wall that has a 5 foot cord included. The included batteries are for the remote only. The plug is a little large so if on a power strip you may need to skip the plug next to it. The main reason for this is to get unrestricted power that the back of your TV might or might not offer on a USB. Some TV's do not supply power to the USB outlets when the TV is off and the power output can also very so to make sure the unit is always powered they have you plug into a wall outlet so you can ask any Google Assistant device around the house to play something on the TV and it would Turn ON the TV and play. Here is how it works you say to a Google Hub or Google Assistant device "Hey Google play Fargo on Livingroom TV" Google will say back "Here's is Fargo on Netflix on Livingroom TV". What will happen is the TV will turn ON (because it gets info over the HDMI to not only turn the ON the TV if it is Off but also change to the correct HDMI input that the device it plugged into) and the show Fargo will start playing on Netflix Living room TV. I should say wile all this works great in some areas there a still a number of problems. If you want to watch the newer Fargo on Hulu, not the older Fargo on Netflix you would have to say "Hey Google play Fargo on Hulu on Livingroom TV". This should be the end of story but the new 2020 Google Chromecast with Google TV does not respond on Hulu to play but only brings up the show and you would then have to walk across the room pull out the remote select Play to play the show Fargo on Hulu. This is not true for the now discontinued Google Chromecast Ultra 4k, that device will play Fargo on Hulu all by voice, in part because that device did not come with a remote. But back to your point the older Chromecast Ultra 4k also is designed to be plugged into a wall outlet for the same reason, to work even if the TV is Off. Some of the dongles like Roku plug into the back of the TV but will not always turn the TV on if it has been off for a wile.

Q: QuestionDoes it have a browser? Can I surf the web?(2 answers)
A: AnswerThere's no browser built in though you can download browsers from Google Play store. Few of them are optimized for Android TV. Even so, the experience is not great because of limited input control. I'd rather use browser of cellphone and cast phone screen to it.Answered by bennyw
Q: QuestionCan I utilize both chromecast and Roku on same screen?(4 answers)
A: AnswerIf your Television has two unused HDMI ports, you may attach a Chromecast and Roku player on the same screen; one device per HDMI port. You can watch content on the screen one streaming player at a time, but 99% of TVs do not allow the user to watch content from two streaming players at once. It's like asking if you can utilize a Blu-Ray player and a Roku at the same time; you can use them one at a time, but you can't watch both devices at once. Honestly, most people don't need to have two streaming players on one TV. If you are new to streaming players, either one is great unless you want to watch HBO Max. In that case, Chromecast can show HBO Max, not Roku. Roku does have ads on its screen, but they are not that bothersome. The voice assistant on Chromecast is definitely better than the one on Roku. I personally use Roku, and it fulfills my expectations already. If you have a Roku TV, the Chromecast will work with Roku TV. Just attach the Chromecast to the Roku TV via an HDMI port.Answered by largebuoy
- A: AnswerYes, you can pair Chromecast with Google TV on Bluetooth-enabled headphones, headset, or speakers to listen to the audio of the video content you're streaming.

Google chrome cast review
I bought the google Chromecast (4K) from Best Buy and I am very happy with it. It is a simple and affordable way to stream video and music from my phone or laptop to my TV. It works with many popular apps like Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, Spotify, and more. It also supports Google Assistant, so I can use my voice to control the playback and search for content. The setup was easy and fast. I just plugged the Chromecast into an HDMI port on my TV, connected it to my Wi-Fi network, and downloaded the Google Home app on my phone. The app guided me through the steps and I was ready to cast in minutes. The app also lets me customize the settings and manage my devices. The performance of the Chromecast is smooth and reliable. It streams video in 1080p resolution and 4K, It depends on which one you bought. The sound quality is also good, and it supports Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus formats. The remote is handy and intuitive, with buttons for Google Assistant, Netflix, YouTube, and TV power and volume. I can also use my phone as a remote with the Google Cast feature. However, If you have a 1080p TV, you should buy the 1080p version. If you have a 4K TV and want to enjoy the best picture quality, you might want to consider the 4K model instead. Overall, I think the Chromecast is a great device for streaming entertainment to your TV. It is easy to use, compatible with many apps and services, and offers good value for money. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to turn their TV into a smart TV without spending too much.

Not as good as Shield, but very good.
I've used most options of the differnet streaming devices (roku, shield, firetv, everything expect apple TV), and this is probably my second favorite. The shield is undefeated, but you pay a price for that. For $50, the 4k chrome cast is a much better deal for what you get than others. I really like roku, but if you're running Plex, roku struggles running image based subtitles at 4k HDR, and will always choose to convert to 1080 instead of direct play. The chromecast will direct play everything I throw at it. Support for dolby vision and HDR10 is very nice and seems to work well. The only reason I took a star off is because 1) It is a little slow at times and 2) The remote kind of sucks compared to other devices. If they had an ultra version with better processing, it could be way better than the Roku Ultra, with a more open ecosystem. But the remote not including a mute button and a play/pause button is just very annoying. It's a small, but really big gripe, as I use this on my office TV and need to pause/mute quite a bit. If you have a CEC capable TV, that may work to not have to use the CC remote, but it doesn't seem to work with the TV I have.
