  The response time to my phone is laggy but the picture is crisp and clean. If the picture itself has issues you have bad internet or a bad unit.

    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.
