Google Chromecast: Easily stream your favorite apps and media to your TV via Wi-Fi with Chromecast. Use the included USB cable to plug the Chromecast into your TV, and control streaming content using your compatible smartphone, tablet or computer.
I have to admit I had higher hopes for the Chromecast. I bought it because I was replacing a smart TV, with a non-smart TV but I was looking for similar functionality. I use it mainly for Netflix, and I found that the connection time can lag quite a bit. Sometimes it'll take a minute or more to load the connection from my iPad to the TV. Maybe I'm just impatient, but sometimes I have to quit and restart in order to get it to connect. Picture quality and sound is great, but I also don't like that when I'm casting tabs from my PC I see the whole window, instead of just the media I'm trying to view. I was also really disappointed to find out that I can't directly cast Amazon Prime video. Now I'll need to also purchase an Amazon Fire TV stick to do that.
For 35 bucks you can't really expect too much. I'd buy it again.

I purchased this universal remote when I bought a floor model Samsung plasma TV. I had no problems programming it and it's worked as a perfect substitute for the factory remote, with no issues. And at 15 bucks, it's a great value!
Samsung PN43F4500BFXZA Plasma HDTV: Bring your favorite content into crisp detail with this Samsung plasma HDTV, which features Real Black panel technology for sharp contrast. The 600Hz refresh rate virtually eliminates motion blur for smooth fast-action scenes.
This is my second Samsung plasma TV, my first was a 51-inch plasma Smart TV. These TV's deliver great picture quality and sound, although I do think I'll be investing in a sound bar, as sometimes the balance between voices and peripheral sounds in movies can be a little off-balance. Other than that I have no complaints, I would highly recommend this TV!
