Abstract: Compared to its predecessors, the Chromecast Ultra has three new tricks: 4K HDR streaming, shorter loading times, and an ethernet port for wired connections.If you're comfortable with how Chromecast works already, that's pretty much all you need to know...

Google Cast technology fundamentally works well, Low entry price for 4K HDR streaming, Ethernet and speed boost are welcome improvements
Short on convenience features like private listening, captive portal, and consistent playback controls, Google Home app needs streamlining and easier access to 4K content, Lack of Amazon Video support hampers an already-limited 4K content selection
Google's premium Chromecast quadruples the pixels for double the money, but lacks the bells and whistles of other high-end steaming devices...
Simple setup and easy to use, Excellent video quality, 4K streaming works great over WiFi and Ethernet, Compatible with most popular streaming services
Marginal video quality improvement over 1080p streaming devices, Limited 4K content selection at launch, Twice as expensive as the regular Chromecast, No remote, No Amazon Instant Video support
The Chromecast Ultra does exactly what it promises to do: reliably stream 4K HDR video to compatible TVs. But the marginal increase in quality, coupled with a dearth of 4K content, means the device is hardly a must-buy. Setup and hardware If you...
Easy to use, Inexpensive, Beautiful 4K HDR streams
Fewer channels than competitors, Lingering bugs, Inelegant design
The Chromecast Ultra doesn't have as many apps as its competitors. The interface has some lingering flaws, and having to keep it plugged into the wall at all times is profoundly annoying, considering its dongle design. If you can look past that, though, y...
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

Ethernet port for reliable 4K streaming, Relatively inexpensive for a 4K media streamer
Requires a smartphone, tablet, or PC, Almost twice the price of the 1080p Chromecast
Google's 4K-capable Chromecast Ultra is the least expensive UHD media streamer available, but you still need a smartphone, tablet, or computer to control it...
These two offerings seem to occupy different camps. If you want an all in one unit to watch TV and movies on, one that has a traditional interface and controller, then the Apple TV is a solid choice. But the lack of catch-up TV will be a drawback for some...
