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 ST600

 

Nice idea, nice remote control. Gives you access to the BBC HD channels on Iplayer. ( You don't get this from the red button access from a TV)

Even with a fast internet connection (7.5 MB/s), a good HDMI cable and Wired to directly to the ADSL router this device produces noticably jerky motion on Iplay. My comparision was using IPlayer with on a Humax HDR and IPlayer on a Panasonic TV...

Easy to use...

 

Once this is all set up, it's easy to use to play movies, listen to music or look at pictures, all stored on your PC. It is also good for watching BBC iPlayer and several other internet based TV stations and listening to internet radio stations...

Potentially good

 

The LG ST600 streamer is potentially great. Really nice user experience, pulls in coverart and other meta data from the internet.
