According to our media player expert
With the Google Chromecast V3, you can turn an old television into a smart TV. That way, you'll be able to enjoy apps like Netflix, YouTube, and Spotify directly on the big screen of your TV. You operate the Chromecast with your iPhone, iPad, or Android telephone or tablet. Open an app on your mobile device and then stream the image to your TV via your Chromecast. The Google Chromecast supports WiFi on the 5GHz frequency. This allows you to stream your videos to your TV in high resolution without interruptions. Plug the small media streamer into a TV with HDMI connector. Via the Google Home app for iOS and Android, you can check out and scroll through all apps that support the Chromecast.

I just want to share my experience about how I made my best purchase ever and immediately discovered one of the best online stores in the Netherlands. Will also explain the product.
TL;DR: Just buy this thing, at Coolblue, now. Just click.
Some weeks ago
So my ex runs off with my media player, interesting. Thing crashes more often in a week than the euros it cost. Yes hundreds. Now I can buy a media player with my own money without a fuss! I can finally decide for myself where each of my hard-earned euros goes. I get to choose the color, the size, and the price!
So after all alimony I have about 40 euros left, what should I do with that now? My colleague points out that Google has a device for a few tens with which I can Netflix and YouTube. Sounds ridiculously cheap and it may be nothing but exactly what I want.
So no food for a week and I'm going to order that thing from the best fastest most beautiful webshop in the world.
Amazon,.. but they don't sell it? I Google on, Amazon has banned the sale because that thing competes too hard! What a bunch of bullies.
Chromecast already sounds good to my ears, so I want it, so I immediately remove my Amazon bookmark (I don't buy from bastard shops) and ask my well-informed colleague for an online store that I can trust.
Coolblue, who are they?
"They are fast and cool"
Okay it will.
Ha, Coolblue is so fast and cool.
At 23:30 in the evening I order the Chromecast on my phone from coolblue in less than 30 seconds. No account needed, but I'll make one anyway. Password doesn't have to be 3 numbers 7 capital letters and a strange character, fantastic!
I also get the chance to watch hilarious movies while I wait, and I kid you not it didn't matter but I came home the next day with a package.
Fast and cool guys, great!
Okay, the product.
What is a Chromecast?
I didn't know either so let me explain. A Chromecast is an HDMI dongle, just like a USB stick, but for your TV. Via the Wifi you send what you want to watch or listen from your phone/PC to that dongle and you watch/listen it on your T.V. They call this streaming.
How does it work? / to install
You put that thing in your T.V. follows a super simple step-by-step plan, connect to your wifi and go with that banana. You use your phone as a remote control, or via your P.C. in your browser. Child can do the laundry.
Streaming services/apps
Netflix, HBO.GO, Youtube, Spotify, Twitch.tv, your browser screen all 1 press the button and voila it's on your T.V. with almost no buffer time. They are also still in development so they will probably support a lot more in the future. Also, Chrome is working on better development that you can use your entire P.C. screen and audio can be cast to the Chromecast.
Battery Expensive Phone
Apparently it also works with a special technology that you don't stream directly from your phone so it costs you virtually no battery life on your phone. Your phone simply tells your Chromecast what to do and what to open, so you're not actually streaming from your phone but directly from the source.
Future Chrome has committed to supporting and developing the Chromecast for a long time, so your $39 will last a long time, and only get better.
Conclusion
What an invention, and for so little money. It is not a replacement for a comprehensive large media player. But for 39 euros this is very close. Ease of use is so great, and that thing is on every day at my house.
Coolblue, you have a new customer too, what a top store with top service.

Very easily installed with the chromecast app. Can easily switch between networks. Responds quickly and gives a nice picture. Doesn't falter. You can stream everything to the TV via the AllCast app. No negatives discovered.

I had the Chromecast version 1 for a while, very satisfied with the possibilities. But in some circumstances the WIFI range was a bit too weak. This has been greatly improved with the latest version! The installation is very easy even for a layman. Beautiful interface and help with the start-up, including instructional video. Chromecast is a must for anyone who has a Netflix account, for example. Just take the small chromecast with you everywhere, together with your smartphone you can turn any screen with HDMI connection (including PC monitor) into a smart TV. In any case, you can't beat it for the price. Great service at Cool blue, so that's good too :-)
