Chromecast with Google TV review

by 잇딴 2021. 3. 15.

 Why did I buy?

 The TV in my room is not smart TV.

It is 'only gaming use' TV, so it doesn' need to have  other options.

Moreover I can watch Netflix or Youtube via Playstation4. 

 

However I gradually didn't play games, and watched video more instead.

Whenever I wanted to watch something, I had to switch on PS4.

I felt like it is annoying, so I started to search for steaming devices such as mi stick.

 

Personally I don't have good impression on chromecast, because of  chromecast 1.

It relys on my phone so much, which means I can't do anything without my phone.

However I found out that recent version of chromecast has OS and remote.
It means it is worked independantly without phone.

It was so cool, and I placed order right away.

 

Today, I don't need to turn on PS4 for Netflix.

I can watch it, using remote or my voice command instead.

So convenient!

 

 

 How to use

I have been using chromecast with google TV everyday.

Here is my the best parts.

 

1. Compatible with google home speaker.

When I want to watch something, I don't need hold remote.

I can give order with my voice.

2. Portable device.

It is so compact that I can carry this anywhere.

For example, when I go travel, TV in accomodation is not smart TV.

 

If I bring my chromecast, I can watch Youtube.

As well as that, I can share photos I took via TV mirroring.

 

3. More functional 
Smart TV has app store, so I can install apps on it.

But it is restricted. I can use the apps, manufactures allow me to use only.

 

However it is a kind of unlimitation.

I can install any app, I want on TV. 

For example, I can access to NAS which is set in parents' house.

 

4. Netflix certification

The TV in my living room is smart TV from LG.

I can watch Netflix via its app(Not chromecast), but it is not 4K.

That is probably because of certification.

 

However chromecast with google TV obtained Netflix certification,

so I can enjoy 4K video

 

 

 

 PROS and CONS

 PROS

  • Remote included
  • Compatible with google speaker
  • Many apps available (ex. kodi)
  • Compact and portable

 

CONS

  • You should connect it to external power cable (TV USB is not enough)
  • Small storage, 8GB

 Should buy?

Highy recommended.

I will use it, even it is a smart TV.

Because it is much more powerful and useful for me.
