The response time to my phone is laggy/janky at times but the picture is crisp and clean once it’s going. If the picture itself has issues you have bad internet or a bad unit.
I’ve got probably 6 or 7 chromecasts I use between my home and my parents’ home. Some are 5+ years old. Never had a single picture issue.
Comparing it to a Shield or Apple TV it’s clear how weak it was. In fairness, seems like they could just sell both but of course it’s important that Google have a performant offering
It didn’t need to compete with them. From a consumer perspective it just needed to be functional at a fraction of the cost, which it was.
I hate google at this point but chromecast did exactly what it needed to do. Always have one in my backpack when I travel. Sometimes “good enough” is all people want.
For like $25 I don’t care if it’s laggy. I just want to be able to stream into any HDMI port
I’d rather my TV run smoothly, crippling performance to save $40 is not something I’m interested in, personally.
