The second-generation Chromecast is a small HDMI dongle that turns any TV with an HDMI port into a streaming screen. It has no remote and no on-screen menu of its own: you pick something in an app on your phone, tablet or laptop and tap the Cast button. That makes it simple and cheap next to set-top boxes like a Roku or Fire TV stick, but it also means it does less on its own. It suits people who already stream from their phone and want it on the big screen.

Owners rate it highly for how easy it is to set up and use, and for the price against a full streaming box. Complaints center on the lack of a remote, the 1080p limit and apps that do not cast.
