- In this video, we take a look at the all new Google Chromecast with Google TV Formally know as Android TV.
This is a stand-alone Android TV/Google TV device and its pretty awesome!
This will Compete with ROKU and Amazon Firestick devices but I can tell you right now after testing this device would personally choose the new Chromecast over the Amazon Fire Stick!
With access to the Google Play store 4K 60hz video playback and Dolby Vision, this is looking like an awesome choice if you are looking for a new inexpensive Media Playback device / Android TV / Smart TV device and by the way, it handles emulation much better than I thought it would!

Hey, you misunderstood what "Viewport" and "Current/Optimal Res" means in the "Stats for Nerds" overlay on TH-cam. You are, in fact, getting 4K in your demonstration - you can see that in the "Current Res" line. Viewport is merely the "virtual" resolution, which is only used for UI element scaling. Think of it like a retina display in a Mac: The operating system acts like an HD display was connected and scales the UI elements accordingly, but it's actually pushing all ~8 million pixels that the 4K screen can display. The reason for this is that otherwise all the UI and text would be really really tiny on high-resolution displays.
tl;dr: Ignore the "viewport" line and only look at "current res". It's not a bug, it's just confusing if you don't know about pixel density. :)
Thank you for taking the time to share.
Underrated comment
I was about to comment the same thing.
Thanks so much man, I thought my android box was screwed or sth when I saw viewport stuck at 720p.
The viewport resolution is a little like video resolution; only it is the actual resolution you are viewing, rather than the resolution of the video itself.
Have to say I have been following your channel for a long time now and really appreciate all the hard work you put into it. I don't normally think there's background music playing but I really noticed it this time and did not care for it. Thanks
I like your reviews. This is the second video I have seen. It is simple and you get to the point quickly. I appreciate it.
It's about time google released something that has a full experience for streaming I remember the beta ADT boxes and the nexus player
I love it, love that you can use Bluetooth headphones or speakers with it. Just hope I’m the near future they add support for multiple Bluetooth users at the same time
Now I had to go and order a white one, this is exciting to see the upgrade from the older Chromecasts to a more Android TV style setup!
Ya! My order (Snow white) has been despatched from Manchester, NH on Oct 7th! I can't wait for it to arrive at my door step!
I just picked one up and love it!
I also have the 1st generation Chromecast. I just ordered this New 5th generation Chromecast, but I'm still going to keep my old Chromecast stick for my office/ guest room TV.
1st gen is still usable, in the age of throwaway it's quite amazing. Very annoyed at the serious playback bugs with TH-cam though, buffer fills, no dropped frames and it acts like someone's pausing and pausing, but only with some videos, can be any resolution, some 1080p videos play perfectly. All other apps other than TH-cam work perfectly so that's extremely annoying in principle too.
Thank you again sir, this is exactly what I needed to see to sway me to get one.
This review is extremely biased and misleading. I've had the Fire TV stick for years, I just got the Chromecast with Google TV and despite it being more expensive it's not an upgrade whatsoever, it's almost the same thing but actually worse. Not only does Alexa work way better and integrates way better with Music, etc but with the Fire TV stick you can use the Echos as speakers for the TV, you can't even do that with the Chromecast... Oh and I've even noticed a bit of a lag between video and sound, something that never ever happened with my Fire TV stick...
How is it?
@@danielphillips650 I returned the new Chromecast with Google TV, it was definitely a downgrade from the Firestick TV stick I've had for years, with less features and much worse performance (the lag between video and audio was unbearable).
If you have a Prime account it's a no brainer that you should definitely get the Fire TV stick. But even without a Prime account (I let mine lapse) I still think it has more features and better performance than the Chromecast with Google TV...
@@gehdochnicht U are totally wrong, the Google Chromecast with Google Tv is more powerful than the fire stick 4k 2020 and its not laggy and buggy like the fire stick
@@Prod.M00N "powerful" or higher numbers of anything specifically doesn't mean it works better buddy.
Great video , informative breakpoints , really like it.
Awesome video. I asked for details about this and my friend shared your video with me. I think I will be picking one up.
Looks like a great cheap alternative to the nvidia sheld for those that don't want the gaming experience. The need to buy a powered usb-c hub to access external storage is a bit meh though.
Good video. Keep up the good work, I just ordered one, it should be delivered in 2 hours
I'm replacing my old Roku with this. I'm pleased to hear that you can load up apps from the Google Play Store. Looking forward adding in my Xfinity stream app so I can access HBO Max and playing back what my Xfinity DVR has recorded.
I prefer to give up on Roku because some of their apps were deleting files randomly on my network hard drive.
I only wanted to get one to upgrade my current Chromecast and the fact it has gaming capability is a big bonus for me.
97% of TVs: *black*
Google: "Let's make this one white, pink and blue!"
@jdouglas8585 it's a me, a Mario!
It's hard and expensive to make recycled plastics to be black
@ekim andersom yes it is... Can't have black plastic without using virgin material.
Why not
@@dandelion7933 you must've not seen that I said RECYCLED plastic. Yeah, maybe black pigment can technically be achieved fairly easily, but not on a commercially viable scale.
Also, the fact that you started your sentence with "Bruh" probably means I shouldn't pay attention to what you're saying
After just under a year, my 4k fire stick sound got really out of sync. After googling it, it seems that's a common issue with the fire stick. I was having to attempt to fix it once a week and got sick of it. Since none of the sticks were 50% off over the holidays and the new interface update wasn't for the 4k stick (I know it is but it's at a later tdb time so not available), I upgraded to the chromecast with google tv. I had a few hiccups in getting the remote to turn my tv and soundbar on/ off but once I got that squared away, I've really enjoyed it. I was able to adjust my audio sync back to normal so it'd work as expected. I didn't know it could do gaming things and the information about the extra storage is cool!
That is so cool..! Thanks for making a review of it..!
I really enjoy watching your channel. I’m there is always great information and instructions that help many people. Keep up the good work
The review i was waiting for, thank you!

@@gehdochnicht dude that's all software updates, wait a dang min it just came out fire sticks aren't the best the shield tv is on top this now will be a hit a better android experience overall
@@JAYJAY1787 uh... kind of my point... This is why the review is so biased... you still have to wait for software updates (if they do them) to even simply equal the functionality and performance of what the Fire TV stick has already done for years... Not to mention it's even more expensive than the Fire TV stick...
@@gehdochnicht 50 isn't expensive at all for loads of entertainment the fire sticks are definitely nice but not google is coming back on the scene with this it's definitely going to be a game changer I believe it will compete in sales with the fire sticks for sure , I just loaded the new launcher on my Android tv love the new launcher definitely eye candy next will load it on the shield and picking up the chromecast google tv tomorrow to have on my xgimi h1 projector
@@JAYJAY1787 I used to have a fire stick 4k 2020 and i agree with you, the fire stick is really laggy and buggy plus the UI is ugly and not modern
just to say "viewport" is the UI resolution not the video itself which is 4k
@ETA PRIME thanks for the video, seems like a great device. I'd be interested in seeing how in-home streaming apps work, such as Steam Link, Moonlight, Rainway, PS4 Remote Play and Xbox.
I am definitely waiting to see the Sonos headphones. That... would be awesome. Hope it is released this year.
Honestly ever since Chromecast day 1 I was in the boat with people wanting a Chromecast with a remote and UI.
I’m fairly impressed of this new device and shocked that they resuscitated the Google TV name
I hope the 4k HDR for TH-cam will work in the future
I'm gonna have to get me one of these to unbox..and then keep to use 😀
Great video! I also wanted to know is there any way you can get a Nest Doorbell notification on the Chromecast Google TV? Like it shows on the Nest Home Hub, ie you can see the stream of the Doorbell as soon as someone rings the doorbell.
Definitely thinking about buying this For Christmas and I can't wait
Nah bro get an Apple TV they’re soo much better
I mean I guess the Google chrome cast is good but Apple TV is just too good
@@mikee.1851 love my Apple TV using it for iptv
Thanks for this evaluation. It looks to me like a typical SBC but with all the connections removed and all the video playback performance that can be achieved with massive software resources.
It is great that you show how limitations can be overcome with sideloading, but what about security? High volume, always on, connected to all home devices -honestly this thing scares me. Is there virus scanning or virtualization software you can recommend?
Every time I see one of the monopoly products with great video streaming and playback performance I wonder why we can't get our open source SBCs to do the same because they use the same cores.
Thankfully, there's not much risk with security, think about it. If someone stole your Chromecast the worst they could do is buy a few crappy games before you notice and cancel your card. There's really no way your Google account can be stolen with this device as far as I can tell.
Exactly what I wanted thank you so much for the review!!

@@Prod.M00N What are you talking about? I am a Google fanboy above anything else. That's why I was pissed that the Chromecast with Google TV was so shit... even in comparison to a 2 year old firestick!
@@gehdochnicht I'm just gonna stay 😐
Looks Pretty cool! Thanks for great content
I have been using a first gen Chromecast since release and I think it's time to upgrade. I'd love to be able to play some PS1 games on it! So cool!
Same here. Still rocking my circa 2015 OG Chromecast... Really interested in this one
Same. My gen 1 chromecast drops signal or freezes more often than I'd like. More of an annoyance than anything. I'm so cheap, I'll probably hang on for another couple years, though
How do you do that
I also have the 1st generation Chromecast. I just ordered this New 5th generation Chromecast, but I'm still going to keep my old Chromecast stick for my office/ guest room TV.
Still boggles the mind Google doesn't support Stadia on it... Thats like Amazon launching a fire tv device that doesn't support prime video.... You can bet money the second Amazon's luna game streaming leave's early access they will update all their devices with the app to use it.
Stadia is awful
It can be side loaded but it should have been ready out of the box.
So you can play stadia no probs with this and a Bluetooth controller? If so, I don't mind throwing away my first Gen fire tv stick
@@IsIzy89cm6 Why don't you read the whole thread. It DOES NOT support Stadia, however you can side load it. In the future an upgrade might allow you to play Stadia out of the box.
I get this suspicion that there is another more expensive Google TV coming that will have options to buy controller and advertise as Stadia ready, maybe it'll be $100 and do true 4K in TH-cam. Have more memory and proper LAN with the best bluetooth. I mean this could be older bluetooth in this little puck by design just to make the more expensive one look better. I could be way off here.
I really love that you always see how Minecraft runs because that's what I'm usually trying to run and that's usually the deciding factor. thanks.
Thanks for ANOTHER awesome video.
Interesting and informative.
Seems like a GREAT device.
Good price.
Kinda bummed it doesn't have volume buttons but, eh, not THAT big a deal.
Just got one. Watching this on the way home 😬.
How did you like it
was it worth it
Also dose it work on non smart TVs
@@Cain-uw5rh so worth it and yes it should as long as the tv has a hdmi port. I haven’t tried it on a non smart tv so not 100%. Almost makes my Firestick, Roku, and Apple TV irrelevant.
@@richardnelson7442 Do you have it hooked up to an AVR or just TV? I just got the fire stick 4k and I'm loving it over the Nvidia shield TV (2017).
Great little device, but what about SteamLink performance compared to Amazon Firestick TV 4K ?
Was thinking about picking one up as well just to try it out. It seems like a pretty good option vs the FireStick. Great vid as always.
But its way more expensive thats the problem
Getting one tomorrow
Man, I can't wait to play stadia with this!
This did not age well
@@azca. it aged very well. Stadia is now available in Chromecast with Google TV
@@gabriel.barbosa r/woosh 😂

Wow, interesting with the USB Storage.
Are there any downsides playing media from a USB?
need to add usb c hub
Build quality and Texture is awesome 😁😁
I just bought one 3 days ago. It was a struggle getting it to work. Wifi internet would not work most times. I got it working finally and decided to unplug it since it gets super hot. I plug it back in no internet damn. I factory reset it and it works again for a bit. I go to sleep and I be damned if it didn't turn on by itself! Screen flickered badly and internet went in and out. I reset it one more time and reset it back to best buy and got another one. I will try one more time with this new one. I own roku, mi box, apple tv, and more. No issues with wifi troubles.
Can you give a link to the adapter you are using for the USB storage?
I Really wish people would test the audio in these otherwise informative reviews...Does it have audio passthrough?
does it to dolby digital plus and atmos? will it handle 5.1 audio or also 7.1? how is the sound quality? Dynamic range, what file types will it playback, ect ect... I understand if you dont have a reciever and speakers to test this but it IS something that deserves mention in any good review.
Did it work?
great video! Do one on how to install Android 10 on the PI4!
Thanks for your contributions and tutorials. good analysis. Please can put the USB Type-C purchase link you used in the video. I would appreciate..Thank you very much.
The TH-cam is in 4K, the only 1080P is the app. You can see the same on the Nvidia Shield TV. Video says 4K but viewpoint is 1080P.
I really can't wait to get one of these :)
If you use it for Video, Music, good sound and smart home controlling, then the Fire TV stick is way better, just so you know.
@@gehdochnicht I'm already heavily integrated into the Google ecosystem, would I've seen what it's like when you mix alexa with google and it's not fun lol.
@@kodaloid ah well in that case I guess then it makes sense. But this Chromecast with Google TV is essentially what the Fire TV stick has already done for many years, and even today I think the Fire TV is still better in some respects (the ones that matter for me, I don't play games with it though supposedly that Amazon Luna thing is coming out too).
@@nanayaw3726 dude I tried both... I returned the Chromecast, it was a downgrade from my 2 year old firestick... Having that said I don't use either of them for gaming... I use them for everything else. In any case Amazon also launched Luna... their version of Stadia...
@@nanayaw3726 that doesn't even make sense as a plus... the firestick doesn't necessarily need to be attached directly to the HDMI, it comes with a cable extension that hangs from it in case it doesn't fit directly, exactly like the chromecast.
It's so obvious you haven't tried both and compared them honestly... you do you and buy whatever you want. Pay more if you want for a suboptimal option with less functionality 🤦♂️
I only wrote this for people interested in an honest comparison, since I had to go through the trouble of having both as I had also heard the chromecast was "amazing" but it wasn't worth half the hype. The firestick has been doing the same thing for years and at a cheaper price and current firesticks do more.
Great video you answered all my questions but one did you use a usb-c 3.1 dongle?
I love chrome cast . now i gotta buy the new one
Can you do the initial setup of the Chromecast without logging into an account or connecting to wifi? I'd love a good Android set top box just to sideload apps locally on.
No. I tried. The whole reason I bought one was because my new house does not have I internet/WiFi. Returned it the next day
@@josephscottadams39 That's super disappointing... I'll be skipping this. Thanks for the confirmation, though.
I've largely held back from buying a Chromecast for years but recently decided to make the jump and I gotta say it's pretty awesome! It's so snappy and the Google Voice Assistant feature brings TV to a whole new level.. Yes you can do that on your phone but it's still pretty cool on the big screen!
Solid Chromecast + Remote alt to the Mi Box.
@ 3:40 The viewport resolution of 1920x1080 is actually just the resolution scale for the interface of the TH-cam video menu, not the actual resolution of the video. It does the same thing on my Chromecast Ultra on a Samsung 4K Smart TV, the viewport shows 1280x720 * 1.5 =1920x1080.
Someone on Reddit explained it like this “what /u/bpobpo is saying is that the interface of the youtube app is lower resolution than your actual tv resolution. it is the same with nvidia shield and most 4k android tv's, the android tv interface is 1080p (can be increased through root edits to full res but makes everything look very small), consequently the youtube app is the same, but playback of 4k video is of course at full res”
I just found your channel and I subscribed, I came from the NES 800+ games video 😁
Critter Hunter I’m sure I will 😊
Start saving because you'll Wana buy everything he review's
Ants Cape lol I probably will
one of the best tech channels righ there
Any idea how steam link runs on this? Might pick this up and bring my pc games to the living room.
This is exactly why I want one too! Would love to know
Same
It works really well but please don't try to do it over WiFi. Pick up a USB-C dongle that has power delivery, an Ethernet port, and you'll be all set.
I connected my DS4 controller and it's been fun so far.
If you have a nvidia card you should give moonlight a try instead. It has a much much smoother experience
Please use Parsec instead, it is by far the best performing remote client available. Better than Rainway, and better than Moonlight.
I don't know why people still recommend moonlight, as it only runs on Nvidia GPU's and isn't any faster. Parsec can do 240fps at 4K with up to 50mbps bandwidth (you can go as low as 5mbps, but that would be more useful for 1080p 60)
And yes, it works flawlessly over wifi, no need for a dongle. It's meant to be a "just works" solution, and even allows for multiple people to connect at the same time, if you want to play 4 player smash bros for example, or just want to share your screen while you're making something in blender, instead of setting up a livestream or something similar
Good review, what is the usb adapter with power input you used? Thanks
Great video! Can you possibly test out game streaming on this one? I don't know if it is possible, but that would be awesome
Which adapter (brand, model, link) are you using for USB Storage?
Found many USB-C hubs but not including power pass-through port.
And like always... thanks for reviewing! (tm) ;-)
Just wonder if the USB-C data speed is 5gbps or 10gbps.
I can't wait to see if it can run GeforceNow!
Or better yet Xbox Gamepass
Very happy seeing Google also adopt a remote here.
I am definitely interested in this
Great review! Although you didn't mention the RAM, is it it really only 2GB? Is it possible to expand the RAM? Did you happen to try sideloading the APK of apps like the Opera browser, the Chrome browser or Google Docs?
@Ruben Garcia 2gb ram thought the shield only had 3 ?
Shame they didn't offer a 4gb version
@@mrpugster I want 4GB or even 8GB!
@Ruben Garcia right right im going to get the 3gb ram version when I can afford it lol but this does look like a better option to the amazon firestick 4k
Would be a waste to have more since with that cheap cpu anything needing more ram wouldn't run well anyway, extra ram or not
Sweet christmas... at 2:50 when you open Plex with the voice assistant, it came in my headphones sounding clear as day, slightly behind me, to the left. Scared the heebie jeebies out of me, like that super-realistic knocking sound that was going around not too long ago.
same here
My daily box is an S905X2 so the performance is no surprise to me.
I am glad that the device is now a box and not just essentially a casting dongle.
It will be popular for people that want all the 4K services and don't want to mess about.
But the real potential draw for me is the possible use of external USB docks to expand the number of ports.
My only question is just how much it can be loaded with only having a 5v/1.5a delivery as otherwise it would be great if a few external hard drives could be used with an appropriately powered ac adaptor.
It woukd also be useful to know if the USB-C setup can also support a second HDMI connection via a dock.
S905D3G not Y2
a good review, thank you. Any chance you could please load KODI and try that playing some different MKV files etc? eg: HEVC encoded 4K media. thank you.
Regarding the plex video playback, you never mentioned what the encoding was on that, and given the high bit rates i assume it was h.264..how does it handle high bitrate h.265/HEVC playback?
4k is always HEVC. H264 at 4k would result in a 200mbps file and Plex doesn't really likes 4k remux encoded in h264. It transcodes it
Viewport is the interface resolution, not the video resolution. The video resolution is 4K even if the interface is drawn in 1080p
Was waiting for this!!
Great video! I'll be one ASAP!
Could you check if you can connect an external hard drive (wondering if there's enough power) and playing a heavy 4k video again but offline with Kodi while showing the stats?
Please consider it if you keep messing around with it and have the time!
I also want to know this!
I would love to know this!!!
Could always use a powered USB hub, then I don't see why not.
Who else is wondering if Kodi can be directly installed as the firmware as it's an Amlogic chip? 🤔
I’m wondering do people still use kodi
I’m a new small TH-camr and just made a tech review on the Chromecast, too. If you would like another perspective, please check it out on my channel
@@lukebanks2895 why wouldn't they
@@rafflespeko5939 kodi is dead now , haven’t heard anyone use it in maybe 2/3 years at least
@@lukebanks2895 oh I guess If U haven't haven't heard of it it's dead. Like when a child closes their eyes the world disappears. Kodi is very much alive, and on more devices than ever
Great video! where can I buy the Bluetooth game controller you used?
Good information 👍
I can't recall if you've ever done a video on "pulling the plug" and some of the best options in doing so. It's a video I would love to see, and I think a lot of your viewers also would take an interest. Definitely would reach a new viewer and possible subscribers.
Cutting the cord?
@@jorv1971 Yes, cutting the cord. Pre-morning coffee moment.
Would the big screen for steam or the PlayStation app work well of the connection is strong enough?
Got one of these and then got another immediately. Such a nice upgrade over the nexus player. Still can't believe Google exited this market for what? 3 years if you start when the nexus player was EOL'd?
@Eta Prime, great vid - thank you. I am going to do exactly this, already ordered. With the Emulator are the roms on the device or being read from an external harddrive somewhere?
Goodbye, Firestick! Lets gooooo
I’ve had mine for about a week and LOVE it. Hooked it up through a Roku TV and have not used the Roku part of the TV since. FYI they are about to release an Ethernet adapter for it...something Roku unfortunately provides only on the Ultra. Roku and Amazon should be scared shitless.
I scrolled through the reviews hoping to find someone who hooked it up to a Roku TV to figure out if it could be done. Thank you!! I'm trying to use DUO (via webcam) without mirroring via my phone. Happy New Year.
I've got a Chromecast w/ GoogleTV and have hooked it up to a USB hub with power delivery (pd) and am using an SD card as extended internal storage. I've migrated most of my apps to the SD card.
The thing is, sometimes the SD card randomly disconnects (like once every few hours), and I have to manually remove it and put it back in for the Chromecast to recognize it again.
It's not a power issue, because I never got the "low power" message, but just to be sure, I bought a power adapter with higher wattage, but still have the same problem.
I've some old Apple TVs that needed replacing, thanks for showcasing these.
If this new Chromecast came out before I purchased my Firestick 4K, I'm might also have preferred it.
Don't worry, the review is actually extremely biased and misleading. I've had the Fire TV stick for years, I just got the Chromecast with Google TV simply to try it out and despite it being more expensive and brand new it's not an upgrade whatsoever, it's almost the same thing but actually worse. Not only does Alexa work way better and integrates way better with Music than Google Assitant but with the Fire TV stick you can use the Echos as speakers for the TV, you can't even do that with the Chromecast... Oh and I've even noticed a bit of a lag between video and sound, something that never ever happened with my Fire TV stick...
So unless you specifically need Google Stadia, the Fire TV stick definitely performs and integrates better in your home...
@@gehdochnicht that's a great advantage. however Amazon Firestick frowns upon all things HBO in my region so I couldn't get HBO streaming. In the US, I think HBO Max could already be accessed, but not in Asia.
I like your English, I like practicing my English watching your videos.
For once I actually bought something before I watch the ETA Prime video reviewing it. I have bought so many things I didn't know I needed or wanted until I watched your videos. I really like the Chromecast with Google TV the downside of the device right now is Apps like Movies Anywhere, VUDU, Don't support 4K streaming for this device yet. I really like how its all sync I just wish they would add additional streaming services like Movies Anywhere and VUDU. Another possible negative is the Ethernet Adapter for Chromecast with Google TV is only a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port.
How about face book live?
Hope south africa the price will be good. Im very interested in this
Hey just out of curiosity can I still cast from me IPhone just like my regular Chromecast does now?
Yep, you can, I have one.
@@klyded8523 thanks man 👍
Why did you leave out the Steam Link app? It's native on the device!!
Steam Link sucks, use Parsec instead.
@Tim Schmidt and why is that? It only works on Nvidia GPU's, and doesn't have any advantages to Parsec. It only has downsides.
@Tim Schmidt the word "sucks" is vulgar? Your face palm emoji is more "vulgar" if anything lol
I absolutely agree with u!
I was just wondering when were you going to post the review
The Firestick killer, better performance, USB-C port great for external storage, better UI, better software support thanks to it being a Google Device clear example is that it has Android 10, better looking hardware, and all that for the same price.
Eh, not really at the same price. The firestick go usually on sale thanks to amazon sales like Prime day and stuff. You can get the 4K one for 40€, while this goes about 70€. I'd say it's only worth if you are actually paying the Firestick 60/70€.
Great video! Looks like a compelling device. When you do your next test, could you please try xCloud/Game Pass and Stadia. Also, what is the latency like with xbox/bluetooth controllers? I find the Amazon Fire TV Sticks to be awful for that. Thanks!!
Does XCloud run on a FireTV stick (4K) since Amazon wants to push its own services?
Hasso Sigbjoernson there was a time the old xCloud app worked on FireTV Stick, but performance was extremely poor with very bad input latency and connection issues. In general I find the latency poor in anything gaming related on Fire TV Stick (even the newer 4K). I’ve tried many emulators with 8bitdo and Xbox controllers, and the controller input latency is just too slow.
@@jpxdude In that case I wonder if some other stick like cromecast or mi box s will get better results since even an old Xbox One S doesn't support XCloud streaming yet.
If that OneS would support it (also 4k60 streaming) I wouldn't bother to look for an alternative...
But thank you for your input on that topic!
I'll be looking for a Black Friday deal!
Could you please try casting a plex video from your phone to this new chromecast, then change the volume of the casted video using your phone's volume buttons?
I would really appreciate it if you test this out.
Thanks.
Sunrise, snow, and sky?
No son, thems red, white, and blue.
Lmao!
Can this Chromecast be used to watch a zoom meeting on TV?
i have the 2780Q as well! love it! though it's 1440p not 4k
Very impressive 👍. I do think IL stick to my Nvidia shield Pro for now. But this little device would be awesome to see the emulation test 👊 and probably not but dolphin 🐬 and citra to 😃🤔
