Google Chromecast Ultra review
Test score %
When it comes to home streaming and internet TV boxes, the Google Chromecast may well be the first name that comes to mind. Google's original online TV and streaming stick was incredibly well received, and it's now been updated for 2017 with 4K and what Google claims are a host of other new improvements. We put it through our comprehensive internet TV box test to see if the Chromecast really has stepped up its game.
