Is the Chromecast With Google TV 4k Worth it in 2024?

I'm here for Netflix and YouTube because I have a non smart tv since 2016 works fine but needs to study hard and be smart! Have been considering Xiaomi mi box or google tv. Good interface and ability to upgrade the storage are two things I'm looking for.

You're certainly correct that it can't handle very high bit rate video files. I installed the Plex app on it to play 4K Dolby Vision movies such as "Back To The Future" which has peak bitrates over 100mbps. It drops frames and the GC 4K will crash when trying to fast forward. It's fine with the Apple TV app running 4K Dolby Vision series such as "Ted Lasso." I bought a "VEMONT USB C hub with Gigabit Ethernet" from Amazon and it does utilize the 1mbps Ethernet bandwidth so I'm guessing that the processor in the GC 4K dongle is simply not powerful enough. I might try the Nvidia Shield TV Pro. Oh yeah, the remote I got with it is pretty crappy. The buttons wobble so much that I have to press the buttons precisely in the center of the button.

It's laggy AF, but it has been handy. Dobly Atmos is a hit and miss.

Hey i see you have Stremio on your chromecast, i have a fire stick 4k max and there is a black screen when i try to watch Dolby Vision/HDR10+ movies on Stremio, i heard that this is because fire stick doesn't have all Dolby Vision Profiles, and i also heard that Chromecast 4k has all profiles and run smooth, did you have any issue while watching 4k Dolby Vision movies/tv shows on Stremio? I need to know because i'm willing to buy one today. Thank you

You need to do a video how to connect a ethernet cable to it for a more stable connection. great video

Do these do audio passthru with dtshdma and dolby true hd?

Anybody knows how to connect / use it while already got another HDMI input busy by Canalplus decoder?

Can it make WiFi available if I connect it to my TV?

It randomly disconnects and s reen and audio blacking out when youve been watching for a while. Also audio sync issues all the time. Google had no fix so i just got Nvidia shield and called it a day.

I have the cheaper 1080p version, and for 20 bucks, it really can't be beat. Not to mention I can use it as a steam remote play endpoint to play computer games in my home theater with minimal latency. It's the best thing after Asus decided to brick all the Nexus players with a forced update.

I'm hoping a new one comes out soon that is more similar to the roku ultra

New Chromecast 4k rumoured to be coming soon. Google io is in may so perhaps don't buy a Chromecast just yet. Also the remote is slippery as a bar of soap, so a silicone cover is useful.

If a family has only Android phones, maybe iPads too, i believe Google TV is still the best option - wonder if Apple TV has any benefits in this scenario?

It's not difficult to add more storage to the Google Chromecast with Google TV 4K... 💯

Stremio Squad!! 🎉

One issue I found is that the Disney+ app doesn't support Dolby Vision on this Chromecast 4K. My native TV app however supports it. Stuff like this sucks.

I am a little unaware of tech stuff, so what is the benefit of Chromecast 4k. Do we still need to subscribe to Netflix, Amazon prime to watch their content?

Is this a 2024 release? Is this a better device than Xiaomi Mi TV box S 2gen

The mecool is a excellent table for chromecast haha
