Enjoy high-definition media streaming on your television screen or monitor with the first-generation black Google Chromecast. This 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi-enabled dongle device looks like a memory stick, weighs in at about 1 ounce, and plugs into any HDMI port, making it compatible with a huge range of screens. You can stream media to it over your wireless network from a laptop, smartphone, or tablet. The 1st generation Chromecast can also connect to other devices over a wired network using an Ethernet adapter plugged into its microUSB port. When streaming video, Google Chromecast supports resolutions up to 1080p, so you can experience your favorite shows and movies in sharp, crisp high definition. It is compatible with a huge range of media apps with Google Cast functionality including Netflix, KZfaq, and Google Play. You can also use the Chromecast to cast your phone or tablet screen on an external display, so it’s great for giving presentations at work or showing off your photo gallery to friends. Casting runs in the background of your device, so you can continue to use it as normal while you are streaming media to Chromecast. The Chromecast device also has a guest mode, so visitors can use it to play media even if they don’t know your Wi-Fi password.
