Product details

Chromecast Ultra not only streams up to 4K Ultra HD & HDR image quality over WLAN, but also delivers reliable performance and speed for smooth playback. Just plug the Streaming Media Player into the HDMI
port of your TV and you're done. Stream thousands of cast optimized apps directly from your iPhone, iPad, Android device, or laptop.

Your smartphone becomes a remote control. Use apps on your phone to choose what you want to see: YouTube videos, movies, series, photos.
Just tap the cast icon to see your favorite entertainment in up to 4K on the big screen. Chromecast Ultra always streams the content in a good image quality.
It's so easy to control your TV from anywhere in your home with your smartphone. During streaming, you can browse the web, start a Google search, or use your smartphone for other things. This will neither interrupt playback on the TV nor strain the battery during streaming.

Chromecast Ultra offers a sharper picture, more intense colours and even faster loading times when 4K content is streamed to a 4K TV.
Whether you have a 4K or HDTV, Chromecast Ultra automatically optimizes the content so that it always plays in the picture quality your TV can deliver.

Thanks to the high computing power of Chromecast Ultra, your series are reproduced quickly and reliably. And if your WLAN connection isn't that good, Chromecast Ultra is equipped with a built-in Ethernet adapter so you can stream via cable without interruption.

PC MagazinStreaming-Clients Duell: Amazon vs. GoogleReleaseOctober 2017

Amazon does not support DFS in the 5 GHz WLAN in either of its two players and only outputs the UHD videos streamed on the Fire TV 4K at a maximum of 30 frames per second. Most Amazon customers will probably come to terms with this, because for online customers the 69-euro annual subscription for Prima including the online video store is an extremely attractive overall package...

Amazon only outputs UHD videos streamed on the Fire TV 4K with a maximum of 30 frames per second. Those who value 60 Hz and have a corresponding 4K TV with HDCP 2.2 are better served with the Chromecast Ultra. On the other hand, Amazon offers an extremely attractive overall package with Prima for 69 euros per year.

Google is charging a hefty 80 euros for the improved Chromecast version called ?Ultra? the normal Chromecast, which is still sold, costs half as much. The most obvious difference is the 4K and HDR support. The principle remains the same: the Google Puck goes into the HDMI port of the TV or AV receiver and is then played back streaming content or local photos or videos via smartphone or tablet...

The Chromecast is technically convincing even in the Ultra HD version. Its dilemma: almost all suitable UHD televisions are smart TVs that can bring videos from Netflix and YouTube onto the screen themselves and in the same quality. At least on the German market, there is therefore hardly any potential for the Chromecast Ultra.
