I'd like to mention that even when it's not necessary, the gigabit ethernet port allows for instant fast-forwarding, rewinding, and there's never any buffering. That's one of the things I appreciate about having a gig port, which I currently have on my Nvidia shield. Although the shield is still functional, it's beginning to show some its age(as it has been several years since since the system has been upgraded, so no HDMI 2.1 (the shield supports many sound modes, but not all) and no 4k120. My setup involves connecting my shield directly to the TV (using HDMI), then connecting the TV to the receiver (using HDMI earc). I prefer to connect directly to my TV (with gigabit ethernet) and then go to the receiver (HDMI 2.1 earc). While going from the shield to the receiver to the TV would be nice if all connections were HDMI 2.1; they are not, as the shield is only HDMI 2.0, and the sound can sometimes be off, also even though it has most sound modes it doesn't have them all. Since Nvidia isn't updating its hardware, and many users don't even use the shield, having a gigabit port on the TV would simplify things, speed them up, and be unique.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Looks like a no according to Ivan. But I hope it changes since a lot of people are starting to stream games to their TV
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.yes it does.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The Ethernet port for the LG OLED evo G3 77 inch 4K Smart TV 2023, Model # OLED77G3PUA is not a Gigabyte port. It is a 10/100 Mbps port. Only a small minority of TV users are streaming 4K video files over their home network. The lion's share of TV users are streaming from apps, where the bandwidth requirement is significantly lower. That's why there's only 10/100 Ethernet ports. From TV manufacturers perspective, there is no reason to put in a gigabit port, because most users will never actually need that additional speed for what they're doing...^Ivan
