I use an AppleTV because the UI/integration is really slick but I’m not sure the actual performance or quality is any better than when I use webOS (is that what LG tvs are still using?) version of Plex on my dad’s TV.

I use an Apple TV because AFAIK it’s still the only smart TV platform that properly supports framerate matching. Even with my TV’s 3:2 pulldown correction, the built-in apps still don’t look ‘right’ motion-wise versus every app on the ATV Just Works

I use my Xbox instead of all the Smart TV apps on my Samsung, the colour when using HDR and the lack of lagging on the UI is much better.

I always wear my wedding ring. It's my trademark.

I just use the LG apps to watch all my streaming subs. That way, only one device is on and that will save me some electricity and possibly some wear and tear on the Xbox.

Also, I think it looks great on the LG CX.

Exactly this. We've tried the tv apps but they were very unreliable.

Also I have one of those PiHoles that were mentioned on the last page. You need to unblock a few Microsoft domains for Xbox Live but it doesn't interfere at all otherwise.

Yeah, the built-in apps on other TVs I’ve used haven’t been amazing but the LG ones are great, quick and responsive with the best video quality

I just allowed my entire XBox to bypass the pihole adblocking. The dashboard ads are my friends and tell me useful info like new gamepass games, fresh sales, and exciting giveaways.

How old is your smart tv? My 2020 HiSense Roku TV zoots right over to 24p when necessary in everything but Netflix.

I'm probably already on a watch list because I let my sister and her roommate use my Netflix account years ago. I'm listed as someone who watched Irreversible and Yu-Gi-oh.

I impulse bought a Series S a month and a bit ago despite having a gaming PC and a PS5 and I honestly love it. Much prefer just chilling on the couch and playing the gamepass indies instead of being hunched over at my computer desk. If someone could only get one thing to play games on I would definitely tell them to go xbox.

I saw one on shelves for the first time ever this weekend, and was tempted to get my wallet out before I remembered "there won't actually be a game on this you want to play for another year."

Then I went home and racked up like 15 Vampire Survivors cheevos :hellyeah:

I bought a LG C2 on Black Friday and it’s badass, but had a TCL 5 series for 3 years before that and it was probably the best TV I’ve owned until now. 6 series looks even better and really with a smart tv I just want it to be snappy and not loving obtuse like a Vizio or even LG. Highly recommend TCL if you’re not looking to splash out and just want something that works and has a good panel

There's another Xbox sale going on and one of the featured games is some Tiger Woods Golf thing. The boxart is amazing, I can't stop laughing at it.

He's somehow scratching his back with his club, while he's in the club?! :psyduck:

His swing concludes there naturally. It's the signature part of his reinvented golf swing.

Game sucks tho bad ball physics.
