It also brings along the Advanced Video Control setting for color formats, refresh rate/resolution, and granular HDR formats.
There are improvements for the HDMI hotplug and 5GHz and Mesh WiFi networks making Chromecast with Google TV more stable.
Moreover, HDMI CEC can be configured in the settings to switch on or off just the television.
