 this is Amit Dan of AmitDan.com. Today I'll have another episode of unboxing and review video and I'll be opening up and setting the Chromecast Ultra. So I have a regular Chromecast which I believe is the first generation and I set it up on my TV long time ago. So I'll show you what I have and I'll show you even the picture quality and then once I switch back to Chromecast Ultra then I'll show you the picture quality again. Now my TV is not a 4K TV this is just a regular 1080p TV but I believe that you know still the Chromecast Ultra 4K should bring a better picture quality on the TV. So let's look at the back of my TV where the Chromecast old version is sitting and I'll show that to you. So if you take a look at right here so this is the I believe first generation Chromecast and still I've been using it and I connected my cell phone to the TV and the one problem I'm having with the old version of Chromecast that you know it cannot take 5G internet Wi-Fi connection so it's still taking you know 2.4G and it gets like you know very slow if there's a sometimes you know if I'm watching a movie or YouTube video then it doesn't actually can broadcast without interrupting. So I'll turn on my TV and we'll look at the Chromecast welcome screen first time and let's take a look here. So if you can take a look here it's 720 by 480 60p it's not even 1080 and then the next thing I'd like to show you that you know this old version cannot support 5 gigahertz Wi-Fi connection it's only support up to 2.4 GHz so that's why it gets very like you know slow or it lags you know from time to time. So you will see right here that it's 2.4 GHz right here because it cannot support 5 GHz. So you know I have difficulty watching YouTube or a movie because it lags and it takes time to catch up. So once we switch back to 4K Chromecast then we'll see how things are and then I'll just show you a short clip of one of my 4K videos and we'll compare the picture quality although my TV is not 4K but I believe still it should make a lot of difference in terms of picture quality. Okay so it's starting up okay so here's the picture quality and okay so you're watching this with the old Chromecast and then once you know I'll install then I'll compare with the new Chromecast. So this one has two problems one is Wi-Fi connection it cannot accept 5 GHz and then the resolution is very low which is even lower than 1080 which I showed you before. So let's go back to the 4K Chromecast. Here is the box we have and it has some information for example here 4K HDR and then you can see that you know on the back on the side of the box. 4K HDR video streaming from the cloud and 2.45 GHz Wi-Fi support which is you know the old one cannot go to 5 GHz and then start streaming with your voice using Google Home and then screen mirroring Android smartphone. So plug it into HDMI port of TV cables included and works with Android iPhone and this device this systems. Okay so on this side of there's just you know some more information and that's all here so let's start with the unboxing. Remove the cover and this is our Chromecast so I'll just you know remove this one too. I'll put this here and I'll come back to this shortly and let's see what we have here. So you have just instruction manuals on here how this works and then there's another instruction booklet and warranty card so I'll just put this here and here's the cable and the power adapter. So the old Chromecast actually didn't have its power so it was just like you know you just plug it in and you didn't need any power so now I'm gonna have to use this power to plug power this Chromecast and if I take out so you can see that there's some sort of magnetic option so just you know holds on to have a you know connection port for regular USB this is not USB-C. Another feature I noticed that you know it has Ethernet connection so you can just connect to internet via this port right here and then this is the you know to power the Chromecast and this is the plug-in so if you're using the Ethernet connection or internet connection directly then you can just you know use that too without using Wi-Fi. Okay so that's all we have here so what I'll do I'll take out my old Chromecast and put it in and then you know I'll start showing you from that step forward. Connecting the Chromecast Ultra 4k was a breeze I just had to you know put in the HDMI input into the HDMI port and then I connected the other end into a power port and that's it so it has that big light right there so that means that you know I have to set it up so let's turn on the TV and see what type of message I get. It's telling me to go to Google Home app on the phone or tablet and start setting up the Chromecast Ultra so what I'll do I'll go to the Google Home app so once I you know open the Google Home so it's already giving me the message that one device found so if I just click on it it's recognizing that you know Chromecast Ultra found and it asking would you like to set up so say okay so it says connected and it's asking for the code to be confirmed on the TV and if you look on the TV then you will see that you know this is the same code so I'm going to just you know say yes and then it's asking if I would like to share stats and everything I'm going to say no thanks then where's this device my living room or back garden so I'll just choose my living room and then next and then create a unique so just name it Chromecast 4k next so choose the Wi-Fi connection so I'm going to just connect it to my 5G Wi-Fi I don't have to go to 2.4G anymore so I'll just you know go here and next okay so it's connecting to the Wi-Fi it's not it didn't ask me any password so I believe because my phone is already connected to the same network that's why it may not ask me a password let's take a look and see what happens here it's already connected I didn't ask me any password so if you take a look on my TV right now and then you can see that you know it's just going through the updates I have this error message which is that you know your Chromecast Ultra uses your Google account so whether if you'd like to use that I'm going to hit next and then the next one is going to be just you know asking to subscribe from the email so I'm not going to subscribe anything and link video services and then you know I don't have any Netflix so I'm going to go next and here's a review of what you have set up so devices and Wi-Fi continue and it's doing more updates so we'll just you know wait until the update is done and then we'll watch the same video we watched before on the old Chromecast okay so you can see that you know it's connecting after the updates and it mentions here that almost done I'm getting some message on the phone that choose a sample click to learn how to cast which I do not need so I'll just hit on skip tutorial and then you know it brought me directly to YouTube the interface actually looks different than the old one YouTube home okay so it's playing the same video we watched before but this is now playing on 4k and let's take a look to see if there's any you know video there's any quality you can see the quality if we can see a significant difference of the quality okay I can tell or I can see a significant difference in picture quality so definitely the quality is much better than what I used to have although my TV is just a regular 1080 TV it's not even 4k but yes it did make sense to you know purchase a 4k Chromecast instead of just going for the 1080 and another reason I purchased a 4k because I wanted to I didn't want to buy another one again in case you know if I end up buying a 4k TV in the future so this should be good for a while because you know I don't need to buy another 4k Chromecast had I bought just a regular 1080 version of Chromecast so that's all the setup and Chromecast unboxing thank you for watching forget about subscribing this channel forget about liking this video I'll see you shortly
