I really liked it for retro gaming but the screen, size, and weight werent ideal for me. I ended up getting the Odin Mini (2?) and its perfect. Handles some Wii U games flawlessly

Fwiw - I have both an LG C2 and a newer Samsung QLED. Neither have ever been connected to the internet, never pester me to connect, and the both turn on right to to my Apple TV

My LG C2 which has never been connected to wifi starts up in maybe 3s. Boots right into my Applw TV and I never have to see LGs software
