I bought one back in the day but always had input/video lag. Does yours work smoothly?
I use one and it's pretty smooth. Depends on the connection though. Definitely needs wired connection.
Or a strong wifi network. I have a bunch of wired access points and was able to get really smooth streaming
Mine was never willing to work on WiFi, so it got put in a box for a while until I ran my own Ethernet cables all around the house. Now it's great!
It’s been so long since I used it that I can’t remember if I had it wired or wireless. I’ll have to break it out and try it again.
When I had it wireless it was inconsistent. Sometimes it was fine, sometimes unplayable.
I have lag even with wired connection.
Fair. It's not foolproof like that. All networks are not created equal and also different people may have different thresholds for noticing
Pretty sure the network is not the issue. Not sure what is, though. I suspect HiDPI or the GPU.
I had to tweak some settings on my PC and lower the output to 720p but mine seems to work pretty well with that.
Same issue. Would love to find a use for it, it’s just collecting dust.
Maybe you need to put your tv in gaming mode so that the refresh rate is adapted to the input. Had the same problem with my AppleTV
