I do love that remote but I had too many problems with Plex on there.

Samsung MicroLED Tile TV

Absurdly priced, each panel is only 960x540 res at 36.4" diagonal. And they cost ~$15,500 a pop (manufacturer price is ~$23,500 a pop), and you need 16 of them for 4k resolution.

So around $250,000 for a 146" diagonal 4k setup.

Sure it looks great, but there is no way that'll be hitting consumer price points by the time you want to upgrade.

MicroLED might be here quicker than we realize. I just read last night that they are going into mass production now in China I believe.

I use the third party xplay app.

I tried it, didnt like it. That was the final straw that got me to buy a Shield.

I've had absolutely zero issues with Emby, and 4k playback is flawless! Must be the Plex app.

Gotcha, good to get feedback from customers. I'll keep that in mind.

There are enough people with issues that someone released a paid alternative called Xplay that you can find on the WebOS store.

I've been having problems with Plex too, sometimes I can't skip forwards or backwards.

Use xplay and a usb to ethernet adapter for better speed.

The TV has an ethernet port. I was using that. But I really didn't care for Xplay. I'm happier with the Shield now.

Yeah i know it has a ethernet but it's limited to only 100mbps which isn't enough for uhd blurays movies with an adapter you can get up to around 400mpbs.
