This is the same as the normal chrome cast. Google themselves have removed the option menu so you cant set the streaming resolution anymore. The chrome cast automatically sets it. Even on fibre it drops from 4k even 2.5k with full wifi bars. You really need to plug in the enternet cable to see 1080p or above. Even the serect menu doesn't show as Google has now patched this.

As for the speed it's slightly faster that standard but by a coplue to seconds really not worth the extra 50-60 dollars. This is the same as the normal chrome cast.

Tried this on 3 TVs before I could get it to work. The device itself is fine, but the setup process is so automatic that if it doesn't work, there is no clue as to exactly why - it certainly wasn't obvious in my case. Needs an 'expert' mode for those of us that know a little more about networking. Google's "help" is less than helpful. If it works for you first time - it's great.

Works exactly as expected. 4k quality is great on YouTube and Netflix services alike. Relatively easy setup however if your not a tech geek like myself it may not be very obvious to get the chrome cast up and running. However once fully setup, using its features is simple and convenient. Works exactly as expected. 4k quality is great on YouTube and Netflix services alike.

3 stars because in all fairness we have managed to binge-watch a lot of content with this thing. If you don't mind constant advertising when streaming free stuff (such as youtube free), then consider this review to be 4-star.. Where it loses its other star is its constantly disconnecting from your android device so if you want to rewind back after having had your phone sleeping for a bit, then prepare to have your blood pressure levels tested!

I bought the Microsoft 4k wireless display adapter which adds a 'wireless monitor' to your laptop and this Chromecast thing went on Trademe faster than you can say "this chromecast thing is turd!'. ...view more 3 stars because in all fairness we have managed to binge-watch a lot of content with this thing.

Microsoft's one isn'tperfect but with a laptop handy, you'll get a fully customisable media vieweing experience, without all the additional ad's that you should never have to see after forking out 109 bucks for a proprietary piece of google! No regrets on the switch!

Love and soooo happy with my purchase, cheaper than paying for Sky and loosing channels from atmospheric weather. Highly recommend this product to all.

It is a Google Ultra Chrome cast.

I paired it up with an ancient old TV so I have not really tested it all that thoroughly.

What I can say about it though is that it effortlessly streams content and loading times are snappy. Performance is solid and reliable. It is a Google Ultra Chrome cast.

Great product and service was fast and staff were friendly! Great product and service was fast and staff were friendly!

Purchased as our smart TV doesn't have all of our subscription apps available, but they're all available to Chromecast. Decided to go for the Ultra for the additional 4k benefit and potentially in future being able to harness the ethernet port to avoid wifi delays.
Overall pretty happy with it, it does exactly what it says on the box - 4k streaming. The only downside I can think of is if you don't use the included special micro-usb wall charger it's limited to 1080p? Even if you have a charger with the correct rating. Not a major, just seems strange. Purchased as our smart TV doesn't have all of our subscription apps available, but they're all available to Chromecast.

It may take you a while to get this talking to your other devices depending on your network settings, but it's great once you get there. It may take you a while to get this talking to your other devices depending on your network settings, but it's great once you get there.

Great for streaming 4k 60 content to your television straight from your devices, was worth the purchase Great for streaming 4k 60 content to your television straight from your devices, was worth the purchase

depending on your network set up its a little tricky. but once its all sorted its brilliant :) easy to use depending on your network set up its a little tricky. but once its all sorted its brilliant :) easy to use

Bought this for mother in law who hasn't had a TV since the 90's and wanted to watch netflix - easy set up and cost effective - better than buying a new tv.
