So about a week ago, my wonderful techie husband bought a new gadget for the TV from Google. It turned out to be Google Chromecast, and it is fabulous! For the first time ever I can watch Neflix streaming in true 1080p quality with flawlessly smooth streaming. This small device, which looks like a thumb drive, works by connecting to a HDMI port and accessing a wireless network to broadcast television. Once the device is connected to a TV and a wireless network, a Netflix account can be accessed from a smartphone or tablet, working like a remote control.
The device seems revolutionary. It allows a user to transport their account to anywhere there is TV with an HDMI port and a wireless network. Other similar devices include Roku 3 and Apple TV. Google's Chromecast sells for the affordable price of $35.
