Yup, works just fine. I have a HTPC, XBOX 360 and Chromecast connected to it. In fact, this is exactly why I got it. You'll like it.

Could not get HDMI to work. Charge works great. I am using Chromecast with much satisfaction. I have Netflix and using my tablet as a remote control,stream from my WiFi to TV with good quality. Also ESPN, YouTube, and others are supported.

Sorry for the delay. I was so intrigued by this question I went out and purchased a micro-HDMI to HDMI adapter and tested this. I cna confirm this works with Chromecast; however, I cannot power up the Chromecast w/ the display's micro-USB port b/c it's micro-USB to micro-USB female/female.

Since there is no need for port forwarding for chrome cast devices yes this would work for chrome cast. Just make sure you don't setup your wireless with vlans and if you do make sure it is on the same vlan to communicate with your device.

Agree. It is slow, I would say even antique. I haven't return it, but not using it at all. Google Chromecast is much better (if talking about streaming the video from Google Play).

Hi, we were having problems with Chromecast until we enabled "Enable IGMP Snooping". This setting is under "Advanced Settings -> Wireless -> Professional" tab at http://192.168.1.1/. Since enabling this, Chromecast has been working flawlessly.

I tried connecting my Chromecast (hdmi output) to the cable using a female/female hdmi adapter. The picture came through great. I could not get the sound portion of the hdmi signal to play through my TV. In the past I have connected my Kindle Fire HD to the cable and most of the time the picture and sound played through the TV. When the sound didn't, I plugged the 3.5 plug into the Kindle 's earphone jack. The combination of the TV with DIV input and the cable with a hdmi connector worked. You might have to try external speakers (e.g. computer external speakers.)

Yes, when you connect via wifi the first thing you encounter is login/authentication page. Once you finish that either through the mobile/computer, chromecast will not have any obstacles there after.

I have not tested this, but would guess it would. My setup is I have a surround sound system which several hdmi and other connections to it and one hdmi cable out to this and I am able to switch with no problems. I plan to test this out, but I do not currently have a chromecast.

No clue. I have my Chromecast attached to a port and works fine, sorry to hear :(

It works with my HTPC and Roku, but not my Chromecast. For some devices you do need power.

Yes, it will work with a Chromecast. I also have an AppleTV and a Sony BluRay player connected without issue.

I returned it because it is very difficult to use. Buy Google Chromecast instead.

You'll need the output to HDMI connector then it should work, though I see many bad reviews for those products. You will need to look around for what works best for you. Alternatively if you have a Google Chromecast should work as well, but that limits you to a few select apps at this time.

We have the same LG model, and we have not had any problems with interference with the Chromecast, but that's not to say you will have the same experience. Just make sure no heater fans, or other electrical equipment is run near the TV..Hope this helps.

Hi Christopher, You can plug your chromecast on any of the "HDMI IN" ports of the receiver. -Anthony
