Current technology? Far from it.

I bought the part yesterday and naturally wanted to test the same times.
Who a Smart TV (probably since 2012. The standard is already ...) has now need no longer continue and the stick can save directly.
Ums straight to the point: My TV is a LM860V by LG, smartphone Xperia connected a Z3 and the Chrome browser is transferred from Nitro V17 (ACER).

1 star there reflect on the functioning screen. Normally I would be the 3 * value, the problem is already on your homescreen very strong latency. As soon as you then eg CoC starts, nothing works and the image quality drops to Felt 400x300px. In addition, the edges of the image are not (at least on my TV) ideal are missing on each side probably a few cm, but this affects relatively not too distracting.

The 2nd star I forgive the really easy installation:
- Connect the TV Stick
- Whatever load Chromecast app on the smartphone / tablet or from the store
- Follow the instructions
Then lasts scarce 10min incl. Aut. Restarting the sticks.
And then also kanns already set to go.

One star I'd give yet because the transfer eg from Youtube really afloat of goes and transferred from the Chrome browser from Notebook / PC works fine.
but to the negative sides have grabbed that were there ...

1. Why I also said above already equal, SmartTV users do not have to read on:
Youtube, Netflix, max cathedrals etc. are anyway on TV - can also "throw" (I do not know how Samsung calls it, but so heißts at Sony) are transmitted, like images from the Gallery and Music.
It costs a little more time because of the TV must first launch the app, but it's also.
The advantage of this type of transmission is obvious:
- I do not need an extra stick
- I do not need an extra App
- Ending the transmission is directly switched back to the Receiver, so I can watch TV directly.

2. The bit annoying, although Chromecast switches automatically as soon as one example transmits Youtube, the TV can then, however, stand to HDMI, you have to switch back manually with the remote control.
(Capable An older LG, not even HD) In ​​my bedroom TV is not even automatically switched to HDMI, there also needs to be made manually.

CONCLUSION
Who has an old TV and want to use the functions of a SmartTV, for this stick worth all times.
However, if you already have a new television, which should consider whether the "screen reflect" (incidentally, only without sound possible!) Is really worth buying the Chromecast.
