- In Android universe top, conditionally usable for Macs: You can tell that Google's device tunes to each other - the connection and the Media Views fold properly (Nexus 4, Galaxy S4). For Macs (iPad2, iPad3) but is becoming more common connectivity problems, also is not the outstanding screen transfer function available
- Without app support it will be difficult, if certain content is accessible only via an app, this Chromecast must support. Unfortunately, this is for example in the ARD media library not the case, the ZDF already. This problem can be transfer directly from the browser or the transfer of the screen (just Google devices). When transferring from the browser performance is logically not as good as if the stick itself can retrieve the media directly.
It is particularly positive that the stick can draw power from a USB port on the My TV features. This means that not even an electrical outlet in any case crowded "hi-back region" necessary and a cable is less accommodating. Since the HDMI ports are but wear them on the side of the TV, you have to expect that the cable and possibly also the stick are partially visible from the front.
Most maddest that you now maintained sitting on the couch and photos show (from Android phone or tablet), launch YouTube videos or start programs from media libraries directly and can usually enjoy in HD even, whenever you want. The function to show images, if the stick is not used, is a nice gimmick.
We use the stick the way in the office in order to view Live tracking data our sites from Chrome out on a large screen, which would be difficult to reach by cable. This works also excellent. The only thing missing is a protection against unauthorized access, so that a prankster can not simply "hijack" the Chromecast.
