chromecast issues

monkey8 · 2014-09-21 19:58:01

I have just brought a chromecast and installed it yesterday. When watching movies I noticed that the picture quality was not good and very choppy on the tv dispite it being perfect on my pc. Have apple tv also and always found picture quality and audio perfect. Is this normal for chromecast? Is it just inferior to apple tv…

Have apple tv also and always found picture quality and audio perfect.

Is this normal for chromecast? Is it just inferior to apple tv or is there something i can do to improve it?

What are you trying to cast?

Tab casting/Screen casting from chrome can give poor performance.

But there is apps and chrome extensions that you can use to get better performance.

See the main thread on chromecast for links and tips.

The Digital Services Act 2024 [EU] ~ Social Media and You ~ EU Digital ID ~ Censorship: - broad laws that will probably effect Adult use of same.

Don't think it's s limitation of the Chromecast, more so how you're trying to cast or your network connection? Netflix, YouTube and others give me smooth HD.
