Even after reducing the animation time via dev options and uninstalling apps, still a bit slow and clunky.
The cool thing is that you can side load a certain YouTube app that block ads.

Does anyone know the status of the supposed update to this device that was rumored to be announced at Samsung's event on Oct 4 (but never was announced)?
The highest resolution it supports Dolby vision is 1080p.
First of all I need extra storage, the 4GB just isn't enough when you put Kodi on it and have a big movie collection like I do - it doesn't have room for the cover art and what have you. Even if it's the only thing on the device you need to add storage because there's a per-app limit on main storage I guess?
I got an Anker 332 hub and it worked great to add storage (and USB ports for game controllers too). The Nintendo Switch mini-dock that was so cool on here a few weeks back does not work. (For USB - it does work to power it up)
I also have an Nvidia Shield TV - the experiences are very similar between the two, but this one is 1/8th the price of the Shield TV. If you're serious about games, having more built in storage and built in USB ports so you don't have to do all the extra like I did, you might be better off going Nvidia, but for 95% of the people out there, this is probably a better choice.
Better than messing with a Roku any day of the week, yes I've used that extensively.
I've connected my converted to Blue-Tooth mode Stadia controller to it. (My Stadia controller actually came with a different ChromeCast)
I have to say, dollar for dollar it's the best TV device on the market, most people won't need to nerd out like I did, but if you want to nerd out, I gave pointers.
But I remember buying the 4k version for like.. $30 that came with a stupid Stranger Things doll lol
Um, okay, I'm calm now... 🤣🤣🤣

Also I tried putting movies on a usb stick to see if this chromecast can play it directly off that... Couldn't figure it out. Asked me to reformat the drive on chromecast but when I plug it back into the pc, it wouldn't recognize it after it was formatted via chromecast.

Until then the $20 ONN Android TV 4K could be a better choice. It's still WiFi 5 but already got AV1 video support.
