What there isn’t, though, is all that much dynamic expression – everything tends to happen at a set, uniform level, without much variation. There’s a good level of detail retrieved and – as long as you have one of the best soundbars or a surround system, of course – ample space in both the ‘left/right’ and ‘up/down’ planes.

Dolby Atmos material, whether it’s a movie soundtrack via Netflix or a piece of music derived from Tidal, has plenty of presence, and as far as music is concerned, it hangs together as a performance convincingly too. Predictably, the further you step down in terms of resolution, the more edge-definition becomes haphazard and skin-tones become uniform – but then, if you insist on watching user-uploaded smartphone videos on YouTube, you can’t expect anything else.Īs far as audio quality goes, the Chromecast with Google TV is a success of the qualified kind. Detail levels fall away more than somewhat, picture noise becomes apparent and darker tones are crushed just a little.

Step down in quality just a little way, with some 1080p content, and the reduction in picture fidelity is simultaneously fairly mild and completely obvious. Dolby Vision's tendency to dim everything in the name of cinematic authenticity is to the fore too, but the Chromecast with Google TV can hardly be held responsible for that. Motion is gripped with authority, edges are drawn cleanly, and the overall impression is of accomplished picture-making. Lighting is convincing, the colour palette is extensive and there’s decent three-dimensionality to images too. Dolby Vision-assisted images are crisp and detailed, with plenty of dark-tone information available and contrasts handled well. Given the best 4K HDR stuff to work with, the Chromecast with Google TV turns in an authentically impressive performance. After all, with both Dolby Vision HDR and Dolby Atmos capability on board, where else would you start your search? The Chromecast with Google TV responds accurately, and rapidly, to voice commands, and it’s the work of just a few words and a few moments to get an extensive list of Dolby Atmos/Dolby Vision content presented for your perusal.

The home page arranges content into useful categories similar to how Netflix does it, and it’s easy enough to navigate. All the other major players are here, though. Apple TV isn’t, and UK users should not that All 4 isn't either. The remote control has shortcut buttons for Netflix and YouTube, but you can load any number of different apps onto the Google TV home page, including Amazon Prime Video. Otherwise, it’s 4K HDR business as usual, with some Dolby Atmos capability thrown in for good measure.

Apparently all Android TVs will feature Google TV before very much longer. And Android TV is on board to offer apps you can control with that remote, plus a new interface – ‘Google TV’ – to both facilitate easier searching and to make recommendations that become more targeted the more you use it. The new Chromecast is supplied with a remote control handset that incorporates a mic for use with Google Assistant.
