Chromecast

I've had the chromecast for a few months and I must say that I freaking love this thing, it is perfect for what I need it to do, which is primarily streaming netflix on the TV in the living room from my Nexus 5.

It's super easy to install, you just plug it in, connect to it via a PC or a phone, then you follow the onscreen instructions which will connect your cromecast to your WiFi then you connect your phone, tablet or laptop to the wi-fi as well and you're good to go, on the Netflix android app there is a handy icon that shows up in the top left corner if the app detects a chromecast device on the network, if you click on it you can select the chromecast device you wish to cast to.

whenever you have let the cromecast take over your Netflix stream, it doesn't need to be connected to your phone anymore, and you could walk out of the room, as opposed to if you're casting a YouTube video, it's streaming to your phone and then it proxies into the chromecast as far as I've understood it.

A really good product that was well worth the money, not much else to say about it.
