I use one and it's pretty smooth. Depends on the connection though. Definitely needs wired connection.

Or a strong wifi network. I have a bunch of wired access points and was able to get really smooth streaming

Mine was never willing to work on WiFi, so it got put in a box for a while until I ran my own Ethernet cables all around the house. Now it's great!

It’s been so long since I used it that I can’t remember if I had it wired or wireless. I’ll have to break it out and try it again.

[–] illi@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

When I had it wireless it was inconsistent. Sometimes it was fine, sometimes unplayable.

[–] ouch@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I have lag even with wired connection.

[–] illi@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Fair. It's not foolproof like that. All networks are not created equal and also different people may have different thresholds for noticing

[–] ouch@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Pretty sure the network is not the issue. Not sure what is, though. I suspect HiDPI or the GPU.
