#New chromecast update#
In the latest preview update to the Google Home app, the company includes early preparation for a new Google TV device, referred to as “YTC.” Elsewhere in the code, it’s directly confirmed that this is indeed a “Chromecast with Google TV” - alongside previous models “YTV” (Chromecast with Google TV) and “YTB” (Chromecast HD). Beyond that, the Chromecast with Google TV could certainly do with a performance boost, as the dongle is beginning to show its age. One of the biggest complaints lodged against the Chromecast with Google TV relates to the dongle’s barebones storage space, making it difficult to keep multiple media apps installed and updated. Neither dongle was without its faults, with Google working to keep costs down through a minimal spec sheet.

In 2020, Google made a significant change to the Chromecast lineup, ditching the longstanding Cast OS in favor of using Android TV - or, more specifically, the newly revamped “Google TV.” Last year, this continued with the release of the awkwardly named “Chromecast with Google TV (HD),” which brought the experience to a more affordable price point. We had this confirmed with the Harman Kardon Citation MultiBeam 1100 soundbar, both from the TV’s ARC output and with the Chromecast connected directly to the soundbar’s HDMI input.New evidence strongly suggests that a new Chromecast with Google TV dongle is on the way. With the new Chromecast connected, not only do we get a much more slick and responsive interface we also get Dolby Atmos out through the ARC jack on the TV. This is the Panasonic TV with My Home Screen 3.0. The TV doesn’t have to be older than 2018 for the interface to look medieval. “ You wouldn’t exactly call it modern,” Audun says, pointing out the obvious. We haven’t yet seen support for any apps disappear, but the manoeuvring is sluggish, the layout is old-fashioned and none of the apps support Dolby Atmos. The problem is the TV’s rather outdated smart interface in the form of My Home Screen 3.0. The picture quality was impressive for the price range back then, and it still provides a good TV picture, even if it’s not the brightest kind for HDR content. In the lobby we have a Panasonic TV from 2018, which shows news and other content of interest to the L&B Tech Reviews staff on a daily basis.

Where Apple allows you to use your phone to enter passwords or even share logins directly from your phone, Chromecast requires you to use the arrow keys on the remote to type usernames and passwords on a virtual keyboard. What we miss compared to Apple TV 4K is easier first-time login in apps. (Photo: Geir Gråbein Nordby) Somewhat cumbersome login Finally, we can get Dolby Atmos out of our 2018 Panasonic TV.

And since it also has Bluetooth connectivity for external audio, you can avoid long cable runs from the projector to a sound system.

If you have a good quality 4K TV or projector, you’ll get the full benefit of Chromecast.

The picture quality is equally uncompromising, and as the Chromecast supports both 4K, HDR and Dolby Vision, you can get movies and series in optimal quality. We note that clicking around with the remote is much quicker than on, say, my own Sony OLED TV, the A90J. If you like you can voice control the device with a button on the remote or use the arrow keys. But it has been unavailable on the market for some time. Until now, Chromecast Ultra has been Google’s only product to offer 4K resolution and HDR, and also support the Dolby Atmos audio format. Most people know Chromecast as a nifty little gadget that lets you open a streaming app on your phone and send audio and video to your TV over the wireless network by clicking an icon in the corner of your mobile screen. (Photo: Geir Gråbein Nordby) With or without remote control – that’s where the question has been The latest Chromecast with Google TV has a remote control. The most well-known and popular are Apple TV and Google Chromecast. Fortunately, there are affordable solutions that mean you don’t have to buy a new TV. There are many old TVs out there where the picture quality still holds up, but the smart TV services are either absent or outdated. But what happens when your new TV isn’t so new anymore? The latest TVs have apps and features galore.
TV manufacturers are competing to have the best smart TV service.
