@audphile1 Thanks and good to know a relatively cheap Ethernet cable produces great results, and I’ll probably just pick up the one you mentioned as I’m already familiar with it and has a decent reputation here. Any particular reason you prefer Sony to LG? Pretty sure I wouldn’t be disappointed with either but just curious. Thanks!
Ethernet cable for TV
I’m getting a new 65” OLED TV (either LG or Sony — thoughts on that???) and about to sign up for YouTubeTV and planning on getting my own better router (rather than renting the crappy one from the cable company) and connecting to the TV via Ethernet cable for most stable/best connection. Wondering if anyone has found upgrading the Ethernet cable over the crap cable that comes from the cable company to make a substantial difference? I’d assume it’s meaningful but just wanted to hear what you may have found and if any specific cable recommendations. Looking to keep it under $200 unless there’s something really worth paying a little more for. Thanks!

@soix I like the picture quality on the sony better and sony is known to be reliable. Check out the picture quality in the store. If you like LG better, go for it. Just don’t judge it too quickly and check if the settings aren’t turned up. |
High end Sony and LG both limit ethernet speed to 100 Mbps. Strong wifi might be a better option. Sony uses wifi 6 and the LG wifi 6E in the G series, so the LG is better with speeds up to 700 Mbps. I have a G with Eero 7 mesh and it never buffers. Or you can use a USB to Gigabit Ethernet adaptor to by pass the 100Mbps port. Sorry, no advice on cables. |
