The editors didn't like

  • Compatible apps relatively limited at present
  • Mirroring function limited to relaying Chrome browser content
  • Is yet to maximise its potential
  • Limited to compatible apps
  • On July 24th 2014
  • Google announced Chromecast
  • Its new multimedia-streaming technology. Billed as Google's answer to Apple TV
  • This dongle-sized TV stick in fact aims to offer so much more. Si
  • As a fellow editor pointed out in our early hands on review
  • We're still looking for a native way to stream Amazon Instant Video from a phone or tablet to a Chromecast
  • Or mirror iOS devices to the TV with it. It's not wise to hold your breath for either
  • No wired internet
  • Interface needs work
  • Not enough services are supported yet and screen-mirroring sucks for video. The lack of a dedicated remote also means you always need a smartphone or tablet nearby
  • Plus for £20 less
  • You can get a re-badged Roku box from Now TV that includes iPlayer
  • Search needs improvement
  • More apps needed
  • Few compatible apps
  • Slightly untidy USB power

  • Det er en billig løsning, der fysisk er så lille, som den kan blive. Opsætningen er nem, og hardwaren fungerer fint. Da det er softwaren, der styrer, hvad den kan, er der et stort potentiale i Chromecast
  • Software-udviklingen går langsomt. Af de cirka 40 apps, der siges at understøtte Chromecast, er det stadig kun et fåtal, der er interessante for os. Ingen andre browsere end Chrome understøttes
  • Chromecast kan endnu ikke erstatte Apple TV, som efter min mening er det bedste produkt til at gøre dit smart-tv rigtig smart. Men den er et overkommeligt supplement, der virker, som om den er i begyndelsen af sin udvikling. Da det er softwaren, der afgø...

  • Der er vist ikke så meget at være i tvivl om her. Google Chromecast er en enhed, der er skabt til at kunne underholde uden at være alt for teknisk, og man må da så absolut sige, at den klarede begge dele til UG og pil opad.Først var der den minimale indpa...

  • Lav pris, Nem opsætning og brugervenlig med HDMI CEC
  • Cast indhold begrænset til udvalgte apps eller Chrome browseren og ikke alt virker selv der, Har du ikke en kraftfuld pc, så får du ikke fuld glæde af streaming via Chrome browseren, Ingen 5 Ghz netværk support.
  • Selve opsætningen er super enkel, og det er simpelt at sende indhold til Chromecast. Selv om mange tv har Smart TV funktioner med diverse streamingtjenester, så er disse sjældent specielt smarte eller hurtige, der skal derfor nok være et marked for en gad...

  • Der er ingen tvivl om at Chromecast er et hit til pengene. Når den kommer til Danmark, hvilket formodentlig først sker sent på året eller næste år, kommer den næppe til at koste meget mere end 400 kroner. Og man får altså rigtig meget for de penge. Isæ...

  • Zdecydowanie tak. Mój redakcyjny kolega, Krzysztof Basel, chwalił ten sprzęt już w zeszłym roku, gdy kosztował 600 zł. Z jego recenzji dowiecie się, że nie był w stanie znaleźć w nim ani jednej poważnej wady. Od tego czasu sprzęt ten potaniał do 500 zł, a...

  • Abstract:  Google Chromecast zadebiutował wraz z Androidem 4.3 oraz Nexusem 7 2013 w lipcu bieżącego roku, czyli już kilka dobrych miesięcy temu. Niewielkie urządzenie wycenione zaledwie na 35 USD jest spadkobiercą bardzo nieudanego projektu jakim był Nexus Q i ma s...

  • Abstract:  Jeszcze jakiś czas temu Internet i telewizor były zupełnie dalekimi od siebie bytami. Jednak z upływem czasu doszliśmy do wniosku, że nadeszła chwila wykorzystania możliwości dużego ekranu i wygodnej kanapy do konspumpcji treści dostępnych tylko w sieci. ...

  • Abstract:  Firma Google zaprezentowała na wczorajszej konferencji ciekawe urządzenie. Chromecast ma zaledwie 2 cale długości, a potrafi naprawdę wiele. Czym jest?Z możliwości Chromecasta może skorzystać każdy, kto ma telewizor ze złączem HDMI oraz dostęp do sieci Wi...

  • Zeer betaalbaar, Makkelijk te installeren, Eenvoudig in gebruik, Screen mirroring kan een leuke toevoeging zijn
  • Smartphone of tablet (of eventueel een laptop) is natuurlijk wel nodig, Niet iedereen zal veel verschil merken met de eerste versie, Google heeft nog niet alle functionaliteit overal beschikbaar gemaakt, Screen mirroring werkt nog niet optimaal
  • Het is geen wonder dat de 1e versie van de Chromecast zo vaak verkocht is. Iedereen die zijn TV wil gaan gebruiken als smart TV kan met een minimale uitgave (de nieuwe versie kost op het moment 39,- euro) een erg prettige gebruikerservaring krijgen. De...
