My biggest gripe is still that the Nest Audio cannot be used as a wireless audio output for TV content played via the Chromecast with Google TV. Otherwise a great product for me!

This! You're absolutely right! And a minus for not mentioning this in the after 6 months video. And it isnt something other manufacturers havent figured out either. SONOS and Samsung already have this. Sure last november it was said that google was working on the audio integration but 6 months later still nothing.

However, Apple is not being a good actor here, they don't have the install base of Apple TV hardware to make their Apple TV+ service make sense, they have to put it on a larger install base of hardware. If that changes they'll make Apple tv+ only work on their Apple TV hardware.

Thank you for the review Josh. I am very pleased with the unit except for one recurring issue - roughly once a week now the unit just has stopped working (no home screen pic when turning on) - the only remedy I've found is to reboot the unit. So far no help from support. I wonder if this is a hardware issue. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Excellent review! I took have the unit from Day 1. It sometimes loses the Dolby Vision detection for Netflix (and only show Ultra HDR). The worst problem is that Hulu's Android app doesn't support 4K (this is the same issue on Nvidia Shield). Also it's not able to stream 4K Bluray rips over KODI on my 5G Wifi. I'm getting an Ethernet hub to resolve that issue (hopefully). I have the Apple TV 4K 2021 on order. Hopefully it will support KZfaq HDR, which is its own drawback I know from the previous generation.

Great review, Josh! We have 2 in our family - definitely would recommend! Yes, the universal search on the main UI is very handy. Our 4K / HDR(10) / Dolby Vision has been working well on Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, & the KZfaq app. Don't have an Atmos system, so can't confirm. Only occasional issue I find is sometimes the picture goes to a high contrast all of a sudden, and things look a little red/orange. Hopefully, just gets fixed by an update. But overall, very happy with it 😀

Going to "Display & Sound" > "Dynamic Range & Color Format" > "Match content dynamic range" and setting it to "Match content" might help, I'd recommend that in general, especially with a good TV, so the TV can display and map the SDR content, rather than the Google TV trying to map it somehow.

Google had a conference with app developers last week to inform them that to get into the Google TV app store they need to allow full account integration and follow certain standards. This should improve the experience going forward. A lot of the issues are caused by apps not having the correct hooks for the device to be able to request the correct content.

@RomeoJollyBun If you mean 60fps as to the actual videos, then yes, as long as the video you watch has the 60fps available obviously. If by lag you mean, the whole system, then no; from my experience CGTV has been very smooth and snappy. If you mean lag as In, the videos in KZfaq then, that would depend on your internet connection, and I only get it when my internet is suddenly bad (which is almost never).

Enjoyed the review! From my research Dolby vision isn’t supported on the Disney Plus app for Google tv. But I have been able to stream at 4K with HDR10. It did give me an issue before and only said it was playing everything in HD, I logged out of the app and signed in and it resolved. I think there is still more work to be done with the app. I enjoy the Google UI and at $50 it made sense more than a new Apple TV, my vizios smartcast disney plus app supports Dolby vision but I don’t like switching around apps so I’m making the best of it rn, hopefully there’s an update coming soon

You have extremely nice review but I couldn’t find what I’m looking for. Example, if I connect this to a projector, is it possible during casting, you can split the sound to output in a Bluetooth Home Theater instead of projector sound output? I have connectivity issue in my home. The home theater is in front and the projector at the back. Using 3.5mm jack wired will not give you Dolby Atmos Surround quality. My projector has only 3.5mm jack and AV options which both of them are not surround sound. My only hope this device can split the video and audito into its Bluetooth. Thanks for your answer, appreciated.

It’s become unable to works with external hub with different power input connection, 7.5 w, 15w, 18w. At the end become 7.5w input with no hub.. reverse to the original setting.

As someone with an old TV from 2014 the biggest downside for me isn't resolution but casting functionality. The lack of Miracast support is a real downer. Only apps that support Google's proprietary Chromecast protocol work, and if you're casting your screen, it's not terrible but a bit choppy when compared to Microsoft's Wireless Display Adapter. Plus the second you hit anything with HDCP the video drops out and you just get audio through your TV. That being said, apps like Web Video Caster are an okay workaround but I'm left missing many of the features from a more mainstream browser when using such a solution. Even with the choppy screen casting through Google's Home app it's not a total deal breaker but the lack of Miracast support almost is

Interesting was planning to use Cromecast on my really old Sony LCD TV in the bedroom won't bother now. Have a old Nvidia sheild pro will use that and buy 2019 Nvidia sheild Pro for the main room.

I found lots of problems trying to cast from my phone, it seems to take 2 or 3 attempts to try and cast to Google TV Chromecast. If I try and cast to a normal Chromecast it Connects first time....

Actually it seems to be a replacement for a Roku dongle, that is how I use mine. I think Google is just going to let casting legacy out.

It is also not easy to log in to Netflix. Also, this newest version of Chromecast doesn’t let me control the volume from my phone when I use the pop-up control, so if I launch on my phone, I need to use my phone plus the remote.

So does this device allow me to cast to bluetooth (in this case, my earbuds) whatever is playing on the TV regardless of it's source (casting youtube to TV set from my android phone in this case)? Thanks!

Is there any way to change what it shows on the home screen (the application selection menu)? For me it displays the same images (a tv series with gays from Netflix, or an image with Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey) since I bought it 6 months ago.

My Chromecast 8Gb did not recognize my Sharp TV in the 14 codes to take over volume and on/off. The bt headphones, Soundcore Q30 and the Sony also have problems with that, they recognize them, can connect them but no sound. I bought it for Viaplay, formule 1 racing, works fine with that.

I feel like the google assistant and a lot of that extra stuff in this chromecast is just useless when we already have phones with thst and that tell us all of that. I just want a more simple way to browse through TV apps, my Xbox one is kind of annoying sometimes lol. I also have a couple firesticks, we've had a roku and we have a roku smart TV too. So here I am still wondering why should I buy a chromecast even though I already have android, and all these other streaming devices? I love google, youtube, I have youtube TV for my TV provider, and just overall support Google everything, so maybe that's it? So I'm my case would it be worth the buy?
