Listening to In The Air Tonight by Phil Collins on Tidal, we’re impressed by the Chromecast’s sense of rhythm. Soundĭolby Atmos is the big performance addition for this Chromecast and there’s plenty of it available throughout the apps and services on the platform. There’s a cave scene where the background is not easy to make out compared to the actors in the foreground but, again, this feels very much a fault of the source material rather than one of the playback device. Light levels are, of course, not quite as expertly handled as when there is HDR to help. Star Trek Next Generation is understandably on the noisy side but it’s still colour-accurate from the muted beige tones of the Enterprise decor to the bright blues of Dr Crusher’s uniform.

Stepping down to 1080p material, the visual experience is obviously less stellar. Colours are deep and natural as we see the orange shoulders of the space suits, and there’s no lack of detail or subtlety to the waffled blue material of their hoods. There’s nothing lost to the shadows in the darker corners of the image and the patches of bright light are so distinct and clear that it gives everything a wonderfully clinical feel. The metal seatbelts holding the Robinson family to their chairs look chunky, strong and solid, and their fishbowl space helmets reflect the scene light as clearly as optical lenses.

The opening sequences of the series show great lustre in the set and costume design. It’s a sharp, textured and well exposed picture that’s a credit to the HDR source material. There’s almost nothing to separate the two as we watch Lost In Space in Dolby Vision. Pictureįor picture quality, the Chromecast with Google TV is right up there with the best video streamers at its price, including its nearest rival, the five-star Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K. In fact, for usability and recommendations, Chromecast with Google TV is the best media streamer on the market. As well as requesting specific TV shows, music and movies, you can make more general requests such as ‘Show me films about time travel’ or similar.
As expected, the voice recognition is nearly flawless and a decent way of getting to what you want and quickly. You can teach it to control the power and volume on your TV and use it as the microphone for the Google Assistant voice searches on Google TV. The new remote control is tactile and well thought out. You can refine the AI by telling it what you’ve already seen but, even from the off, it has a pretty decent handle on our tastes.

When you track down a film or TV show that you have rights to watch on multiple services, Google TV gives you the choice of service and will even default to the cheapest or free option where possible, rather than trying to sell you the version from Google’s own catalogue.Īvailable films and TV programmes are organised into helpful rows of suggestions, including quite a few categories we’ve never seen on other services, such as Neo-noir, Futuristic Shows, Films about Robots and Space exploration movies. As a user, it’s a refreshing change to see a genuinely useful content discovery tool rather than a shopfront to sell you content. These depend on your location and subscriptions but include Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, iPlayer, YouTube and more.

It’s compatible with over 6500 of the apps built for Android TV and will recommend content on the home page from over 30 streaming services. Google TV makes its debut on Chromecast here, and despite that resulting in a mouthful of a name for the device, we understand why Google wishes to shout about its new interface.
