Reply to comment by NakiCoTony in LG C2 OLED TV review: you can’t go wrong by dapperlemon

The only “good” thing is the C2 at least has USB 3.0, so you can use an inexpensive USB to Ethernet adaptor for gbps lan speeds. My CX has USB 2.0 and gets a max of approximately 300 mbps… which to be fair is more than enough, but silly I need to do it all

Hol’up, you can hook it up like this for network?

Sure can! Various adapters maybe affect results, but he used a cable matters on these two tvs.

https://youtu.be/PIef8iRZhLE - this video is a year old, but premise is the same.

Something to keep in mind if you use home assistant with at least LG OLED TVs, using a USB adapter will not allow you to remotely turn on via LAN. Not huge, but something to keep in mind if you use that platform for smart devices.

Right now it’s on wifi as it’s faster than cable…

HA, Homekit, even official LG app has trouble waking up the TV. Works about 50% of the time I’d say, no idea what’s the issue.

I’ll maybe go the apple tv route since it will be hdmi woken up

Yeah, I had a real PITA with wake on LAN with wifi too. The built in LAN was working for me, but was terrible with Plex rips due to that 90ish max speed

Yes, it's on wifi for that reason, can't watch a lot of things with that 100 lan...

My Apple TV pretty consistently interoperates with my C1. Even controls my sound bar.
