Purchased to have access to a wired connection rather than WiFi as well as the claim to be faster. Both claims have proved true with load-up considerably faster. It also works with standard 1080 resolution so you don't need a 4K TV to take advantage. For stars only because it seem disproportionately expensive. Perhaps if i had a 4K TV to enjoy I might feel differently. A clear improvement over the original Chromecast device.

I have this plugged directly into my av receiver (yamaha rx-a860) and use a network cable from the router. It was easy to setup and has worked flawlessly with the exception of an occasional issue if I turn the tv on before the chromecast (fixed by turning them off then on again in the right order). I can now seamlessly cast netflix, iplayer, youtube, and videos from Facebook etc via the web browser from any device (phone, ipad, laptop) to the tv. Netflix plays in perfect 5.1 surround sound.

I bought the first ChromeCast dongle when it first came out.. -(3 years ago? More?) and turned my "dumb TV" into "smart tv" saved loads of money! Recently decided to upgrade, as there was a sale on Chrome Ultra. Well it CAN be powered just through USB from TV, however the cable that comes with it has powersocket + Ethernet socket that power through mini USB the dongle. But i used my own USB to mini USB & its fine. I would recommend getting 2nd generation (this is 3rd),as so far i haven't noticed the claimed "faster loading times".. But design and eas of mind that you are "future proof" (you never know whats going to happen in future, so you cant really be that prepared).. Enough of rant. If you got money, buy this(£52 on sale) .. If you want "best bang for your $" get 2nd gen (£35currently)Read full review
