    We already use a Smart tv as both computer monitor and as a tv,

Found the problem.

Okay, I'll bite. Why do you reckon that's a problem?

Sorry. Didn't mean to be snarky. My point was that if you already have a smart TV, a Chromecast will feel decidedly supernumerary.

I'll say this: I've got a half-dozen ways to get Netflix onto the projector, and the Chromecast wins. Android, iPhone, iPad, doesn't matter. Same with Plex. However, if you're used to using the remote that came with the TV, and the TV speaks Netflix natively, the TV wins.
