I have had Roku’s for years but I mistakenly went with my “smart” TV.
A year ago I picked up a 84”LG SMART TV for the family room, a 54” LG Smart TV for the bedroom. It worked ok and I lived with it…. but moving between apps is slow and there was frequent buffering.
I upgraded my internet to 1G fiber and updated to a new TP Link Mesh. Both of my TV’s were direct wired to the mesh routers.
It should be fast right!?!!
Well …
The buffering got worse and the app would hang forcing me to power cycle the TV.
Exasperated and frustrated with the LG Smart software, I finally chose to go back home to Roku. I picked up 2 Roku Streaming sticks.
The problem was instantly solved and it is already not only so much faster, the picture quality is better, and there is zero buffering.
I work in IT and I have to give props to Roku because the setup was incredibly easy!!
It paired with the TV seamlessly, setting up the streaming apps used QR codes and was easy. The entire setup took me less than 10 minutes.
Even if you are not a “techie” person, I absolutely recommend a Roku.
i just wanted to submit my thanks.
