Using the remote to enter the WiFi pass didn’t go that smooth really. The empty-ish home screen (after having set up the WiFi)Īs one has to do with all media devices nowadays I first set up the WiFi and looked for updates. However, it did look a bit dated and not so appealing as it comes with empty tiles. Once booted (which takes about 30 seconds) I was presented with a rather familiar screen: the LG Smart TV interface just like the one on my 42LV5500. Wired network is optional as the device has built-in WiFi support. Plug in the power, connect it to your TV and you’re good to go. In the box you’ll find the ST600 itself, a remote, a power adapter and some Nero MediaHome which is a DLNA server (yet I’m not using that as I use Plex as the media server software). It comes with the bare essential ports: Wired Network (RJ45), HDMI Output, Digital Audio Output, and a Power Supply Connector on the back. The ST600 is a tad bigger than the AppleTV (v3) but weighs less. Geek as I am I got really excited when the box arrived and immediately got it out to start playing with it. Above that the ST600 comes with the medialink app, which allows communication with the Plex Media Server. The idea behind the ST600 is great: upgrade any “dumb” TV to a Smart TV by attaching the ST600 (via HDMI) to it. Not that familiar with Plex? Or not sure what the difference between Plex Media Server.app and Plex.app is? Then read the Plex/Nine introductory post first.Įarlier this week I bought an LG ST600 to expand that list of connected devices.
