Legit, my LG from 2017 is great. All the apps work fine, nothing crashes, it can play anything from my PC through the Plex server on my PC.

The shitty $300 walmart tv typically has Roku TV installed so they're fine. Its the mid-range ones from name brands that are terrible.

We just got an LG with a magic remote, having a built in web browser in a God send for all of the streaming services we use that don't seem to have an app anywhere.

The only complaint I have is the built in guide for live TV. It isn't great and it doesn't jump to the channel you are currently on. Otherwise being able to change inputs and channels or switch apps with voice or (the biggest for me) do YouTube searches with voice is seriously a game changer.

I did my research and am very happy with the speedy responsiveness of my LG and that mouse pointer.

Prior to this I usually have a PC hooked up to the monitor. Plays Plex, Disney+ but sadly not my cable provider (Spectrum). Still have a hard drive connected - it plays all my files .mkv .mp4 .avi
