  • Simple setup, easy to use, Good price, Portable design
  • Could use a dedicated remote, There's not heaps of 4K content available in Australia, Can be redundant if your 4K TV already has 4K apps
  • Google's Chromecast Ultra is an easy to setup, simple to use solution for streaming 4K video. The only catch is there's not heaps of content that can currently take advantage of Chromecast Ultra's high-end capabilities...

  • If you only own a 1080p TV, there's no real reason to upgrade to a $99 Chromecast Ultra — especially if you already have a Chromecast 2, which is half the price. If you need Ethernet connectivity, then sure, it's a rational purchase, but otherwise a Full...

  • Cheap, effective 4K, HDR streaming, Builtin ethernet adapter, Google Home integration
  • No native Amazon Video support, No remote control, It'd be easier to navigate with an interface
  • There's almost no refuting it: Chromecast Ultra offers one of the best values for streaming video devices for 4K TV owners. There's not as much benefit for the 1080p crowd, but if you're looking for powerful, fast streaming in a device the size of a wafer...

  • Abstract:  Compared to its predecessors, the Chromecast Ultra has three new tricks: 4K HDR streaming, shorter loading times, and an ethernet port for wired connections.If you're comfortable with how Chromecast works already, that's pretty much all you need to know...

  • The Chromecast Ultra offers 4K and HDR streaming for only $69. Plus the Ultra supports both HDR10 and Dolby Vision, The Google Home app provides an integrated interface for more intuitive navigationand it allows for voice control, if you own a Google Assi
  • The Amazon Video app is not Chromecastcompatible, You can't power the Ultra through your TV's USB port, as you could with older models, UHD/HDR compatibility varies depending on which source devices you use
  • The Chromecast Ultra 4K media bridge does what it's supposed to do, and it's easier to set up and has a more cohesive user experience than earlier generation Chromecast devices. The ability to add voice control via Google Home is a nice, new perk, as well...

  Published: 2017-06-14, Author: Rasmus , review by: flatpanelshd.com

  • Still affordable, 4K, HDR10 & Dolby Vision, Supported by most services, Improved design/connection
  • Slow to load (no Fast Play yet), No user interface, Amazon not yet supported, No 24Hz support
  • With more and more TVs running Android and having Chromecast built-in, is the existence of a hardware dongle even justified? And can a dongle survive in a world of advanced TV operating systems with apps? We have used Chromecast Ultra for almost six month...

  • Briefly, let's observe alternatives if you don't already own a television that's both WiFi-connected and 4K-ready. You choose from devices made by Amazon, Roku, Xiaomi, and NVIDIA. Where does Google have each of them beat? Price and simplicity. Google's C...

  • Fastest load times of any Chromecast to date, Ethernet support outofthebox is a nice upgrade over WiFi, Support for the latest 4K and HDRsupporting TVs
  • Software control is still glitchy at times, Pricing makes it much less of an impulse buy than non4K Chromecast, Buffering is still a reality of operation (will we ever be happy?)
  • It's easy to dismiss the Chromecast Ultra as a one-note accessory: the necessary upgrade you need if you want to use a Chromecast on a 4K TV. And while that's an apt observation – you don't want to waste all those extra pixels on mere full-HD content, do...

  • Abstract:  Sitting in the boardroom at Naim Audio for the recent launch of its new Uniti range, I was surprised to hear the words 'Google Cast' mentioned as one of the main planks of the design of the new products. Until then I'd had little exposure to this Google-d...
