If the LG's Smart features are so bad{*}, why not invest $100 in a small

offerings that can easily hang out the back.

Thanks for the reply - I'll have to try the laptop = USB
connection now - to prove that you're right !
No need. Trust me. HDMI is what you want.
The LG TV is less than 5 years old but was a PITA even
when new - browser issues ; wireless keyboard issues ;
OK agreed, I've probably got the same generation LG TV.
All it is good for is showing YouTube, anything else is from the dark ages.
I bought a "TV box" and it was a slight improvement but
I still prefer the more familar laptop.
I have considered buying a SFF refurb desktop computer
and dedicating it to the TV ..
Intel NUC (and clones) is a good idea, or these small $80 things (with a
cheap displayport to HDMI adaptor)
Lenovo Thinkcentre M72e TD Intel Core i3-3220T @ 2.80GHz 4GB RAM 256GB SSD

Look on youtube to see how folks use them.
Thanks. I had to look on Wiki to see what a NUC was ..
Then I checked the local online classified ads - found one
with the latest HoneyBee operating system :
