A really great vid. I’m probably of the same vintage as your parents. I have a 2013 Sony tv that no longer supports Netflix . So I have been casting Netflix from my iPad to my gen1 early version of chromecast so I feel a level of familiarity with the standard google set up. So I think I’ll buy this new gizmo. Thks also for mentioning the Bluetooth speaker compatibility. This will allow me to watch and listen to stuff without irritating the wife when she is reading. Cheers again.
Excellent presentation Sam. Finally, someone who states that a phone or tablet is not needed (after setup), I have been searching if this was the case. Great information, well presented. Thank you. Newly subscribed.
Exactly what I came here looking for. Many thanks! This will make my 9 year old Smart TV a bit smarter (it is too old to use a bunch of newer apps, and plugging laptop in via HDMI was getting tedious). Great video, especially for a relative tech luddite like me. Subscribing.
Excellent video thank you so much, some people are born to make videos you seem to be one of them. I just bought my Google Chromecast 4K I am waiting for it to come in the mail. Now I am connecting my new 4K chromecast to a Toshiba fire tv & I’m hoping everything works okay.
Hey Sam - I’m still unclear on a few things - I already have and love my Apple TV - so can I keep and use both ? Truthfully what I am really looking for is just a way I can cast my phone to my tv - as I cannot do this on my Apple TV ..🤔
If you have an iPhone you should be able to both cast (aka airplay) as well as mirror your phone on your Apple TV without the need for a Chromecast... probably no need for a Chromecast in this case
Hi, thanks for a concise video about the Chromecast. I was wondering though… if I plug this into my monitor can I receive TV and all the show’s or do I need an actual TV to begin with ( I think I already know but would ve great if I could ) 😊 Thanks.
I have exactly the same TV cept it's 46 inch floating glass design from 2008. Question please I've got an LG soundbar SL8YG attached but I want Atmos. Would I need a audio extractor with it please and if so which type would you recommend? Thanks buddy! 👍
It looks like your sound bar already has Atmos and Chromecast integrated? So unless there’s no Atmos offered from the source then seems like it should be working 🤔
is this usable with a monitor without remote? I mean, in particular can the volume be controlled via google tv remote while leaving the monitor volume at maximum?
You may be able to not choose to link the volume controls to the monitor during setup but I haven’t tested. Any particular reason to have it separated?
I'm unsure what you mean by using this and Apple TV - you can use them separately? I don't believe you can install a VPN directly on the Chromecast but you can install a VPN on a compatible router to then connect to the internet 👍
If you dont have a TV antenna, to get Free to Air Channels, can you downlaod the TV channel stations using the apps and just stream TV live like you would if you had a TV antenna plugged in the TV?
Will have to depend on where you are and what apps are offered - seems like a mixed bag generally. Probably good to see what’s available for your area!
I got one of those and it won't work now, when I try to connect it to my tablet, it just buffers round and round, I hear Google is stopping making them, will generation 3 still work
Probably not an easy answer, it will depend on your internet connection, quality/resolution of the video you’re streaming, and where their servers are. If it’s an issue on your computer, probably also going to be an issue on the chromecast.
I have the ax6 model number cax30 nighthawk and have google devices. My chromcast with remote keeps disconecting. I called Google and netgear and they both told me the have some compatible issues with netgear I logged in into guess network to see if that would help but it does not. So iam thiking about replacing chromcast ultra with apple tv or just replace the nighthawk. Having g issues conecting nest doorbell too:(
No guarantees if changing will fix that! You might want to try searching for the issue first to try and find some potential solutions to try (I think there could be issues if macOS is too old etc) - if everything else is good and it looks like a potential issue with your chromecast, then you might have better luck by switching 👌
way better than amazon fire stick. i took my fire stick back as it doesn't have kids profiles, in australia with no date set for doing so. I have set up a kids profile on google chrome cast and its working, im a very happy mum.
Wow, amazing review, Sam 😁 Mad respect for your dedicated time in making this video review. Have a +1 new subscriber 😍. I'm curious, is there a way to make it so that when you turn on the Google Chromecast, it opens UA-cam rather than the main page (where it displays all the other apps)? I know the remote has a dedicated button for UA-cam, but I'm just wanting to do this in case my elderly parents forget about the dedicated button on the remote. They're not good with tech, sorry.
Thanks for the kind words Michael, glad you enjoyed it! 🙏 unfortunately I’m not aware of how that can be done, what you could do is move the UA-cam app to the very first slot if that makes it more prominent, otherwise you can remind them of the dedicated button…👍
@Sam10X Thanks for getting back to me, Sam! 🙏 That’s a good idea about moving the UA-cam app to the first slot, I’ll definitely try that. I guess I'll just keep reminding them about the dedicated button for now. Thanks again for the awesome content and the helpful suggestion! Keep up the great work! 😁 P.S. As a New Zealander, I immediately noticed your Aussie accent when I first heard your voice haha.
Can I cast using this while it's hooked up to a computer monitor from my Samsung S23 phone? Not a TV! Using "Mirror Phone" from my cell phone. I do Lives on TikTok and need to Cast to a monitor for visibility. Thanks
Are you saying to cast to a computer monitor, or to both a computer monitor and a TV at the same time? First question, yes, but if it's the second, that would be a very good question - I don't have a Samsung phone so I can't say for certain, but usually you wouldn't be able to "cast" to two devices at once. If your phone is connected to your monitor via cable, maybe it's possible 🤔 is it an option to just monitor on your computer screen without the TV or not have it connected to your computer screen and just cast to the TV?
@Sam10X I have to have a bigger screen in front of me while I play drums. This is why the laptop alone doesn't work for that. But yes the 1st question was right. Just wanted to know if plugging this into a computer monitor (with no computer system) would allow me to Cast my phone screen to it. Thanks
Hello Sam...just bought this 4k Chromecast and plugs it into a Samsung 4k tv, automatic resolution to 4k 60hz. Strangely, Netflix is only HD, try factory resetting and still Netflix HD. With the same Netflix account, playing on TCL A30 4k is smooth, on the Samsung default Netflix is also 4k. What's wrong with the chromecast?
When I say cast I meant playing videos (which there should be a button on your phone screen), but sounds like you want to mirror your screen, if that’s the case you need to find a specific app that can do that, I believe there are a few out there that can mirror your screen
@@Sam10X using tablet to new monitor it all casts well but the volume nothing will try restarting tablet no olume adjuster on monitor. Thankyou for your reply.
Is there any ways to watch FIFA Online using Chromecast? I just want to know whether there is a way to play it on TV without needing to buy a proper game console.
Sounds like you’re referring to something similar to FIFA that could be streamed via Stadia which has completely shut down. I’m not aware that this is possible on Chromecast.
Hey Sam, I feel like I could be your parents! Actually we have a smart tv we purchased in 2018 and its 2017 LG olexld model. Now '9 now' not operble just before Olympics. Cant get kayo. I am wondering if you could help me set up.mine and of course pay. No probs. I also have a wallmounted tv and i cant fit my hand behind. Thats the biggest problem i have. Its all a nightmare and stressful. Can i contact you please help me. Id be so grateful 🙏. My tv has cords which release tv but you need to pull so they secure tv back on and cant seem to do that. Can you refer somone. I live in Melb. Id be forever indebted. Also would you go back to source if you want free to air. Yes i still watch them at times 😅 would it be beneficial for me.to get a 4k
Hey Susie, I think your TV is definitely smarter than my parents'! I'm glad you enjoyed my video but unfortunately I wouldn't be able to physically help you - I suggest a service like airtasker or similar to find someone that could assist. I absolutely understand the feeling of just wanting something to work!! To your questions - you can definitely switch back to free to air as you need and only need to get 4K if your TV is 4K (just need to search the model to confirm). Hope you find a way to get it all working 🙏
@Sam10X thanks for getting back to me. I def have a 4k oled lg tv. I would be able to set up if i could get behind screen which is wall mounted. Itsdoesnt swivel.. However, I've been reading reviews,ts google tv 4k is a load of rubbish and buffering and logs out after a couple of hours. Should I go for just the cheaper HD version. Have your parents had many problems with the 4k version. . Also, does it have KAYO . Tha t s very important. I have a tv that has 2 strings youyou need to pull down and then you need to pull them down again to fasten or clip back. What would you ask airtaskeras i have a tv already mounted but cant get behind the tv to plug the google tv in Also do i needto havekayo on myphone or justneed logons
Hey Susie, I don’t have the HD version but my parents haven’t had an issues with the 4K so maybe that’s a good sign. It looks like you can download the Kayo app directly on Google TV and login without needing it on your phone. As for the installation you can probably just describe it as you are now, good luck! 🤞
I have mi box 4k and chromecast ultra 4k too, I would recommend chromecast ultra 4k because it has support for x265 videos and it is smooth in mi box also it works but sometimes experience is not smooth also, browsing on chromecast 4k is far better and efficient then on mi box 4k and last but not the list android version on chromecast is 12 while on mi box it is less then that and google tv skin is new experience
I remember having one of these thick bezel old TV in my home. I just checked it's still there collecting dust. It's got terrible viewing angles and 720p. Time to get rid of it.
I wanted to get a 4k Smart TV soon. Since I don't like the operating system that much, I wanted to buy a Google Chromecast because I think the design and the presentation of it are pretty nice and good. Now the question remains whether it is worth buying such a device for $70 or rather stick with the normal OS of the TV.
Asking the tough questions, if you’ve decided to get a TV already, why don’t you just get it first and test it out before making a decision on the chromecast? 👍
I got a Samsung TV that's really cheap BUT it's using SmartTV (Tizen OS) and it's not a good OS. It's also pretty slow. It's a shame because it supports 4K. So I bought a Google Chromecast dongle and it changed everything. The little hiccups I experienced were gone and the TV felt like brand new. The price is worht it vs. getting a new TV
My TV is dying in terms of smartness. Basically, the support for the apps are slowly dying and disappearing one by one. Right now, from 100+ apps, it's down to 2 apps. So I'm greatly considering to get one of this.
Excellent overview! Thank you for saving a lot of old TVs from the rubbish heap!
Thank you! Definitely not too late to salvage 🙌

Hello.
I have a Kiano TV, but it’s not on the tv devices list.
What should i do?
Thank you.
I’m not too familiar with is one, if it has HDMI ports than you have a chance, best to do some googling 🙏
google cast use ur home wifi? or do they have inbuilt wifi?
You need your own wifi

That’s unfortunate to hear, I don’t have a gen 3 so can’t comment on that
Hi Sam 10x
How does the Chromecast 4k with Google TV handle streaming sites with live tv and movies? Any buffering problems?
Not good, it will freeze for couple minutes, then works a while, then freeze again....
When you do casting
Probably not an easy answer, it will depend on your internet connection, quality/resolution of the video you’re streaming, and where their servers are. If it’s an issue on your computer, probably also going to be an issue on the chromecast.
If you have decent internet it won't.
EXCELLENT video! Thank You. 😊

I'm having trouble casting video from my Macbook pro with an older Chromecast to my TV. Will this new Chromecast do that?
No guarantees if changing will fix that!

USB audio was available in older version of firmware. Now they have disabled it. Sadly it cant be used as music streamer now.
That’s a shame if that’s true…maybe those that haven’t updated the firmware can avoid it 🤔
So if you connect a hub or sd stick to the usb, how do I power it?
The hub will need power pass through to power itself and the chromecast
Yeah your videos are amazing you need more subs
Appreciate it 🙏 spread the word Mr White!
Hi, is it possible to change Video Speed (1.5x-2x) on UA-cam on this Chromecast? Thank you in advance
There should be a speed button that allows you to do that
Are there 2 models 4K and Only HD Model of Chrome cast ?Is there any price difference?My TV is only HD, should I buy 4k or only HD model ?
That’s right, 4K will be more expensive. Sounds like you only need the HD one unless you want to future proof in case you get a new TV 👍
Thanks for review :)
Is the hdmi 2.1 ?
Yes it is! 👍
Good explanation thanks.
🙏
Can you cast or use airplay with the chromecast google tv?
You can absolutely still cast the way you did with previous models 👌

Is the normal order to keep the device plugged in at all times?? and will there be issues with battery health declining over time??
There’s probably no issues, but is you’re concerned you can always unplug when you’re not using it!

P.S. I forgot does it handle Tivimate app for streaming ?
I believe so 👍
Hello everyone. I have a full 1080P tv with HDMI port 📺 if I buy a 4K chromecast moniter will it show 4K ????
Unfortunately no, it will be limited to displaying what your TV is capable of at 1080p 🙁
does this have google web browser?
No chrome browser unfortunately 🙁 you’ll have to cast from another device
I wonder if you could pair a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse?
Haven’t tried but you probably could! Thinking of easier inputs and browsing?
Google 4k chromecast vs xiaomi mi box s 2nd vs mecool km2 plus?
I don’t know much about those but maybe someone else here can help you 😁
I have mi box 4k and chromecast ultra 4k too, I would recommend chromecast ultra 4k because it has support for x265 videos and it is smooth in mi box also it works but sometimes experience is not smooth also, browsing on chromecast 4k is far better and efficient then on mi box 4k and last but not the list android version on chromecast is 12 while on mi box it is less then that and google tv skin is new experience
found your answer yet? Im having the same question
@@Juanico259 no

I remember having one of these thick bezel old TV in my home. I just checked it's still there collecting dust. It's got terrible viewing angles and 720p. Time to get rid of it.
At least it was remembered one last time…

Why doesn't the assistant help you type
Still room for improvement…
I wanted to get a 4k Smart TV soon. Since I don't like the operating system that much, I wanted to buy a Google Chromecast because I think the design and the presentation of it are pretty nice and good. Now the question remains whether it is worth buying such a device for $70 or rather stick with the normal OS of the TV.
Asking the tough questions, if you’ve decided to get a TV already, why don’t you just get it first and test it out before making a decision on the chromecast? 👍
I got a Samsung TV that's really cheap BUT it's using SmartTV (Tizen OS) and it's not a good OS. It's also pretty slow. It's a shame because it supports 4K. So I bought a Google Chromecast dongle and it changed everything. The little hiccups I experienced were gone and the TV felt like brand new. The price is worht it vs. getting a new TV
My TV is dying in terms of smartness. Basically, the support for the apps are slowly dying and disappearing one by one. Right now, from 100+ apps, it's down to 2 apps. So I'm greatly considering to get one of this.
That sounds like a steep decline in smartness indeed! Give this a shot for sure if it gives you the apps you need 👌
What tv?
@bunnygirl8482 one of LG's first 4K tvs. Back in 2014. It's UB800 something.
