  • In terms of performance and capability the Chromecast Ultra is a big improvement on its older sibling, especially if you've made the leap to a 4K Television set. Upgrading the tech has also seen an increase in price, which feels a little high at the momen...

  • La box multimédia Sunnzo X96 propose une prestation équilibrée, mais sans grande audace. Assumant les missions les plus courantes sans trop d'efforts, il ne faut pas espérer cependant plus de cette petite box discrète, et particulièrement en ce qui concer...

  • Limitée au streaming, Nécessite au moins un appareil pour lancer la lecture, Performance Wi-Fi insuffisante pour la lecture 4K: il faut utiliser le connecteur Ethernet
  • Aussi facile à mettre en œuvre que la version précédente, le Chromecast Ultra est toujours aussi bon pour diffuser simplement du contenu depuis les plateformes de streaming vidéo ou musical. Simple à prendre en main, il permet de connecter n'importe quel...

  • Toujours aussi simple à mettre en place, Un design et une ergonomie toujours aussi bonne, De bonnes performances, Le support de la 4K HDR
  • Peu de nouveautés face au Chromecast 2, Prix un peu trop élevé
  • Vous vous en doutiez peut-être après avoir vu le titre de ce test : si ce nouveau Chromecast remplit bien son rôle de passeur de contenus 4K et HDR, il n'apporte pas grand-chose comparé au précédent Chromecast de 2ème génération.Ainsi, on recommandera ce...
