Recently bought an LG smart telly. Should I connect it to the internet, or just use it with an attached computer (Mac mini) and older Google Chromecast.
Eventually I'll put Linux on the intel Mac mini, but I'm wondering if the streaming via the computer is any less horrible than using the built in apps.
I know it is all horrible, I'm just wondering if LG webos is even worse.
@otfrom I do not have advice about your specific situation, only empathy. :-) I have my t.v. (A smart Hisense that runs Android) not on the network, just being a dumb HDMI display for an Nvidia Shield, which also runs Android, so the UI/apps were identical, but the Shield is noticeably faster to respond to user input, and has the grunt to run more demanding apps like Plex. Our t.v. CPU and RAM is just enough to get by, running apps on it required annual repaving. Maybe your LG is better?
