Hi. I'm looking for budget Chromecast dongles/android tv sticks that i can use to cast media from my phone to TVs while I'm travelling. Android TV functionality itself isn't necessary, as long as I can mirror my phone's screen to the TV I'm good. 1080p casting at cinematic framerate would be only requirement. Found many sub 1k-1.2k casting dongles on Amazon but their reviews and specs are all over the place, so I'm looking for recommendations from this community in same price range. Thanks!

That's a good idea provided I can find someone to sell me one quick enough, since I'm going to have to travel within a week. Thanks

Make a WTB (want to buy) thread. Someone might sell.

I actually already have a Chromecast for my home TV, which is why I was looking for something cheap that I could order off Amazon and just toss into my travel bag. Anyway I've made a WTB thread, let's see how it goes

One thing to keep in mind with the cheaper sticks is they only support DLNA or Miracast, so screen sharing would be pretty restricted. A lot of android devices only support casting to devices that support the Chromecast protocol
