I saw Chromecast 2 as the bridge between my collections and the living room TV. I have a huge collection of movies, audio, anime, etc that I can stream directly to the living room TV but needed a third-party to handle the connection. Just need to find similar app that can do similar things. I uses Android from my phone to tablet but Chromecast can work with Apple product too. We can use Plex as a Media Server to serve the content and use BubbleUpnp as a controller to direct the content to. These contents can be movies, audio, videos, photos, anime, etc. Lets says you have a sizable amount of contents you have in your computer or NAS (Network Access Storage) that you wanted it to be stream to your Chromecast. Most of the time they will just give it up. Not just that, walking for old people is considered a hassle.

It’s one of those dumb flat TV that have limited functions but multiple HDMI ports. My parents like to watch movies but always find it a hassle to go to the cinema just to watch it.

I recently brought a Chromecast 2 to make my living room TV “smart”.
