    My issues with LG TVs is they’re 1) still missing support for the ESPN app which is a big deal if you’re into sports and 2) only allow casting to them from a white-list of sites. So your can’t just stream anything from Chrome on your computer and cast to the TV. If the website isn’t white-listed, you’re out of luck.

    I’ve also had issues with pihole interfering with the TV too. Not a pihole expert though so I’m trying to figure out how to work around it.

      Have you tried casting your computer to the TV? With Win+K you can share everything and click around with your remote.

      It’s what I do when I do it, but I don’t have any kind of device for that stuff.

        I wish I could do this but I don’t have a Windows OS. I wish it had ChromeCast built in because fucking Pixel doesn’t even support MiraCast!

      1. Yes this is a big deal. Some important apps are missing. While I’m not in an area that has ESPN I have noticed the lack of CrunchyRoll.

      2. I can’t even get cast support because my TV has MiraCast and AirPlay but my fucking Pixel doesn’t support either, only ChromeCast.

      3. I used to have a pi-hole setup working properly with the TV, i.e., blocking tracking but keeping functionality.

      Real issues and definitely not perfect but when I’ve used other TVs it’s the every action that is unbearable for me. Using a TV without a magic remote just seems obsolete and especially on the Android based TVs there’s sooo much lag.
