Abstract: Like previous Chromecast models, Chromecast Ultra has a small, compact design that will easily slot in behind your TV. All you need to do is plug it into an HDMI port and you're ready to go. Of course, while Chromecast is traditionally controlled via Wi-F...
It's easy to criticize the few missteps Google has made here (see below), but by and large Chromecast Ultra is an impeccably pristine streaming device capable of procuring gorgeous 4K HDR streams for less than the competition, Minor improvements like the
That said, for all the positives here there's still a few lingering issues. The first is its price – $69 (£69 or about AU$90). It offers a heck of alot for that sticker price, but it feels like less of a value here than the $35 (£30, AU$49) Chromecast doe
At the end of the day, though, there's little reason not to buy a Chromecast Ultra if you're a 4K TV owner. The minor inconveniences are just that – minor. For the most part Chromecast Ultra is an exceptionally smart, powerful and fast streaming in a devi...

Abstract: The original Chromecast was great, and on paper the Chromecast Ultra ought to be even better. It's the cheapest 4K HDR TV streamer on the market, and just like its predecessor, it makes streaming video and audio from your phone, laptop or tablet to your T...
Must be plugged into the mains, No support for Amazon Video
I like – no, I love – Google's Chromecast devices. They're simple to use, a doddle to set up and they work beautifully well, but the Chromecast Ultra is the first one I've had to pause and think hard about recommending, and that's nothing to do with how w...

Cheap, effective 4K, HDR streaming, Built, in ethernet adapter, Google Home integration
No native Amazon Video support, No remote control, It'd be easier to navigate with an interface
There's almost no refuting it: Chromecast Ultra offers one of the best values for streaming video devices for 4K TV owners. There's not as much benefit for the 1080p crowd, but if you're looking for powerful, fast streaming in a device the size of a wafer...
4K HDR support, Intuitive and easy to use, Fast and stable streaming, Plenty of content,
Lacks Amazon Video app, Lip-syncing issues, Needs constant mains power, Double the price of the standard one,
The Google Chromecast Ultra is a puzzling product. At £70, it's double the price of the standard Chromecast, but its 4K features don't quite add up to double the experience.When today's latest 4K TV sets already provide you with the two most popular 4K st...

Simple to set up, Effortless 4K streaming, Casting Chrome tabs to a TV is handy
Most TVs have in-built 4K streaming, Missing Amazon Instant Video, Expensive
Judged purely on whether it's a good gadget or not, the Chromecast Ultra is a success. It streams well, is simple to use, and is supported by most streaming services (other than Amazon's Instant Video). Right now, if you own a 4K TV with the full selecti...
Simple and affordable 4K streaming, Widest HDR support available, Intuitive interface and setup, Supports YouTube HDR, Dual-band Wi-Fi and Ethernet for strong connection
Cross platform search still mediocre, No Amazon video
If you're looking for a highly affordable streaming add-on to your 4K Ultra HD TV — and you love Google's casting style — then definitely. You can get a bit more content with a Roku, including Amazon Video, but it will also cost you more. More importantly...
