Chromecast built-in Review
This app includes Chromecast built-in for Android TV.
Available and pre-installed only on Google approved Android TV devices.
The best TVs with Chromecast built-in offer all the benefits of one of the best streaming devices you can buy, but without having to buy anything extra or take up an HDMI port by plugging it in.
Chromecast allows you to easily share content from your phone or laptop directly to your TV, from a majority of streaming apps. Technically, what you're sharing is a URL that the TV then goes to to stream the content. That way, your phone or tablet are free to keep doing something else. Not only is this really easy to do, it also means you can access apps that your smart TV platform might not support at this time.
Although Chromecast is closely associated with Google products, and a core feature of Google’s Android TV, it's not an exclusive arrangement. You can also find Chromecast built into other smart TVs from some of the best TV brands. This means models from Sony, TCL, Hisense and Vizio are all available with integrated Chromecast.
