LG Smart TV Upgrader review

It seems pretty much every new TV is also a media centre these days but if you're not in the market for a completely new set you can buy one of a growing number of plug-in players instead. The LG Smart TV upgrader (officially called the ST600) squeezes...

Great interface ; Plays most formats ; Nice price

iPlayer needs work ; Touchpad controls ; Weird USB port position

While the iPlayer and App store appear to be ‘works in progress’ the LG Smart TV Upgrader is an affordable solution for anyone who owns a wants to access IPTV services to their HDTV without buying a new set. It remains one of the better media players...

LG ST600 review

The dinky LG ST600 streamer box is a media Tardis

Apple TV-bashing flexibility and spec ; slick and easy to use

Needs more free streaming, especially in high definition

Very promising – with more apps, it could be the class king

LG ST600 Smart TV Upgrader review

3D is old hat. The latest buzz in TVs is "connected content". In other words, built-in web browsers, on-demand video streaming and smartphone-style apps. But what if you've just bought a new TV without all these tricks? The simple solution is to plug...

LG ST600

LG ST600 is a tiny media player box with LG's Smart TV platform that offers video-on-demand and TV apps. The box also supports streaming from other devices in your home via LG's Plex Media Link (DLNA). In other words; pretty much LG's Smart TV platform...

Video rental Apps; Medialink/Plex is elegant; Low power consumption

Sluggish menus; Medialink not playing video right now; Picture quality in VOD Apps; No keyboard in smartphone App

LG is a direct competitor to Apple’ small TV box called Apple TV. LG ST600 is slightly bigger and has an external power supply but besides that the two boxes look very similar at least on the outside.

- We're really only interested in the LG600 as an inexpensive Plex box for secondary zones like bedrooms.

LG Web is Awful

Offers subscription based streaming content

Does not support FLASH type web content which is 99% of web video. The YouTube content is NOT YouTube domain, it is through LG portal so you can't login to your youtube account

Perfect for streaming

I don't know why would I rate this device as a web browsing device. This is an online video streaming device, period. And as such it is excellent. If you want to surf the net get a laptop. Also consider that the best streaming material is not free. So,...

AWESOME VALUE!!

Value, value, value. What do you want for so cheap ; WiFi works great ; MKVs are the shizle

not sure about the web browsing. I suppose you'd need a usb splitter thing to hook up a keyboard and mouse ; remote is so, so. It's not chinsy. I'm just not fond of the arrows part

Dont bother

This is basically just a way to stream netfix. If you are trying to access the internet with a 10 button remote, you will be there all day. There are better choices as I found out later. Oh well, live and learn.
