ST600 set box thingamajig
on August 1, 2011
Posted by: Fred

Works with Netflix, Hulu & Pandora great. The internet part stinks. It will only work with Flash Player 8 (not 9, 10 or 11) and Adobe no longer provides version 8. Brilliant! LG should update their box to work with the latest tech. I'd even be willing to pay LG $3-$5 a month to provide a much more competent system.
Also, the "magic mouse" is a joke. It reminds me of the function of the mouse on my 486DX computer with Windows 3.0 back in 1991. They need to add a real keyboard. If you want to surf the net with the magic mouse you'll soon see it magically disappear as you throw it out the window in frustration.

Works well, nothing is perfect

It works as expected, though the browser is not nearly as useful as I had hoped. Response to the remote control is rather sluggish compared to using a PC based browser. The center button which is the 'enter' button also acts as a touchpad, and this makes controlling the browser difficult. Anyone accustomed to browsing on a PC is likely to find it very frustrating and I don't expect to use the browser at all. Otherwise all the features I've tried worked as expected, and this devices makes a great addition to my TV.
Pros: Performance, Style/Design, Features/Settings, Quality
I would recommend this to a friend!

Does what it's designed for..

Everyone compares this to the new smart TVs and Blu-Ray players. This is designed to upgrade the older generation "dumb" TVs and gives them the features that the newer ones do. That, it does, but considering this is about 5 years old, it's not the latest technology. But it does allow you to stream Netflix and have other features off of your first or second generation TV. Most new TVs have them built in and that is always better. But this brings your old TV from just being a monitor for your game system to be a usable media device again.
Pros: Performance, easy to use, Features/Settings, Quality

Limited Access to web content
on March 13, 2012
Posted by: Longball1960
from Ohio, USA
Unfortunately, Adobe Flash Player is not a provided app, nor can it be installed on the ST600. I have found that the major TV Networks and a great number of other online content providers require it, in order to view their content. The remote control is difficult to use and the unit does not permit a wired or wireless keyboard. If you only want to view online content from those who LG provided a link (Netflix, CinemaNow, Vudu, Hulu, YouTube and a few others and view DIVX files, this unit works great.
Pros: Quality
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

LG Smart TV not good
on January 6, 2012
Posted by: Dave1960
from Florida
I purchased the unit so I could surf the internet and watch video. After wrestling with trying to get a Flash player installed I found out that Flash is not supported on the LG Smart TV. To me without a flash player the unit is worthless. Most sites use flash for their videos. Also manuervering is difficult and using the screen keyboard is time consuming. I assume this unit is only good for paysites like netflix, which I don't have. I used to believe that LG produced great products and have recommended them for over a dozen years but not anymore.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
