Mirror for LG Smart TV 4+

good for presenting, not great for movies

This does exactly what i needed it too, amlost.. It could do with an option for extending discplay as well as mirroring. I can't imagine this being too hard to add in?

It works fine for presnting as long as you dont want speed. But it can't cope with realtime working. So, don't expect to use your big TV as a docking station with a keyboard there. The delay is far too much.

Good effort though, perhaps npt worth the £9.99 i just paid tbh

Developer Response ,

Hi, thanks for taking the time to write a review about our Mirror for LG Smart TV app. As mentioned in the app description, in using the app, there will be a couple of seconds of latency (usually 1 - 3). This is due to the TV buffering behaviour, and that is unfortunately outside of our control. We are constantly researching ways to improve it. If you are seeing more latency than that, you can send us your diagnostics information. When we receive this information, we can check if there is something amiss in the communication between your LG TV and your Mac in your local network.

Fantastic App For Mac (iOS not quite there)

So i took the chance despite the mixed reviews as my 4k LG tv still cannot airplay directly. Must say i was super impressed. Here is my summary:

Price
Bit steep espexcially as they charge you twice once on mac (£9.99) and once on iOS (£4.99), feel that's unfair and both should be £4.99.

Functionality
So downloaded, you need to get additional drivers and give permissions which is straight forward. Big point for mac make sure when mirroring you choose play video rather than standard screen mirroring. This makes huge difference, 0 lag, 0 latency and you can carry on using your mac at the same time. The mirroring option you see first is designed for presentations not video.

IOS i cannot stream video it freezes completely when i tried with Netlifx and it cannot fill the screen unless youre in a landscape app and even then its windowed. OSX version is definitely a lot more polished and thought out but to be fair i dont see many use cases for mirroring your phone over your mac anyway. In hindsight I wish i hadn't bothered buying the iOS version.

Conclusion
Overall the OSX app is fantastic and solves a real problem, no more HDMI's or messing around. Only caveat to that is using the video option requires you have the downloaded copy so not sure how good itll be srtreaming online video. Tried first mode and it's ok but there is a slightly noticable stutter. If they can solve this i'll provide 5*.

A really good app.

I have been using this app to stream photos and video to my TV for a few years now and it’s been superb, that is until I recently clicked on a box after an update which installed the app on my TV and it stopped working. I tried a few fixes but it still failed to work. I sent the team at AirbeamTV some diagnostics and quick as a flash they got back to me with a solution. It’s been working fine ever since.I’d highly reccomend this app.
