Easiest way is to try it. Ive pretty much given up on the TV browser on my LG. Lack of a good zoom, and the fact that it seems to be rendering at a low resolution and then scaling it to 4k making it look like garbage doesnt help.
PC plugged into it is a vastly better experiance. The gtx 960 seems to be the cheapest card I can find with HDMI 2.0 so that you get a usable framerate at 4k, I havent got one for the HTPC yet because that is on a different TV that is still an antique, but the LG in the bedroom is just cabled to my gaming PC with a long HDMI cable. Browses fine, games okish for the few I have tried with the xbox controller on the PC, but I am having dropout issues with that so may need to get a wired controller.
Dunnersfella: Sony Blu-ray players will take a USB, but the TV's are a different beast.
i bought a sony blue ray player which we never use now as we are 100% internet TV based. was going to sell it.
i plugged the logitech dongle into the tv but as said, not recognised, so it might be recognised by the blu ray? and alternatively i could try a bluetooth mouse?
I have a Logitech K400 wireless keyboard connected to a Samsung smart TV and find that the TV's browser is a pain to use. Smart TV's are good for watching tv programs and tv on demand, but aren't that smart compared to a pc when it comes to internet surfing. Pop ups are a real nuisance. Have now connected an old laptop to the TV using a VGA to HDMI adapter. Much easier to use. The TV upscales the laptop video output quite well and sound comes through the blu ray speakers thanks to ARC. I am now looking for a cheap pc that has HDMI.
