Smart TV

LG has “Smart TV upgrader” on the market for as little as 60$ in the US and here’s why you should pass.

The YouTube app does not allow login so no way to monitor your subscriptions. Same issue plagues the BD390 to this day.

Scrolling with the Magic Motion Remote does not work at all and the calibration is off by 30 degrees.

No Skype. For 700$ I expect something more.

Boot time is nice and short but App launches take far to long.

The PLEX integration is a fanatic idea but the UI is awkward and messy. Example: I want a Revison3 widget on my home screen rather than 5 clicks away.

The browser is not currently usable. Period.

The Android App only half works with my HTC on Android 2.3.4

Google TV will mature in the next year and happily support gaming before it’s time to refresh your current TV.
