I have this exact set up. It works great. A word of caution if you will want Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision, a high-quality HDMI cable from your Apple TV to your LG C2 65 inch OLED TV is mandatory. Your grandma’s HDMI cable or the one that’s been in the junk drawer for the last 10 years will not be good enough. Nor will the cheap “8K” cables from Amazon — been there, done that. Good luck.
Sure.
I have an LG smart TV. I got an Apple TV so I could watch my Apple media and I absolutely love it. I have had it for several years and it’s still going strong. Definitely be worth picking up. I’d possibly wait till Black Friday though because it’ll probably go on sale.
Apple TV is far better than any of those built in tv software
I love my 3rd gen Apple TV that my husband got me for my birthday. Best streaming device I’ve ever used.
It’s fast, easy to use and just works. My favorite thing is the continue watching, it knows all my shows I watch. It’s so cool.
Happy streaming 😀
I would definitely recommend getting the AppleTV 4k.
Most of my family uses the Amazon fire sticks and it’s great for them.
But I’ve literally blown thru 2-3 different fire sticks myself.
I have a high end 4K Samsung TV and the TVOS isn’t the fastest, but it does the job if you don’t want to spend money. It’s only good for when my girlfriend wants to stream something from her phone to the TV since she has an Android Phone.
But having the latest AppleTV 4K has been absolutely amazing! It turns on just as fast if not faster then my actual TV.
It’s also great because you can download Games & Apps from the AppStore. Especially if you pay for an Apple One Subscription/Apple Arcade subscription. (And if you do I’d highly recommend investing in a PlayStation 5 or Xbox Controller.) Since most games do need an actual controller to play.
And having an iPhone & Mac I love being able to Airplay/Cast my phone screen or Mac to the TV so I can actually see things bigger and see how it will come out if I making a presentation or something.
Then when I also love being able to play games that are on my phone that aren’t available on AppleTV yet like Monopoly or some other games.
And last but certainly not least, having your AppleTV to connect and control your HomeKit Smart devices. It’s great to have especially since a storm just knocked out my old HomePod. And it’s nice to know that even tho my HomePod broke, my AppleTV still acts as the new main Device or backup.
Plus you can also SideLoad Apps to your AppleTV. Like I have a Movie/TV Streamer Application. And I also have an Emulator Application that has multiple emulators that I can play old games with.
So there’s definitely a lot of great advantages to having an AppleTV.
Is it worth it to you is the real question and what you’re main purposes of using it for?
And since you do have a 4K TV like myself I’d recommend getting the 4K High Speed HDMI cable (It’s like $10 at the very most) so you can actually get the Maximum Image Quality and Speed.
Because in the Settings there’s a setting called Chroma and if you just have a normal old HDMI cable you will still get High-Quality picture that is compatible with most TV’s and HDMI Cables. With the 4:2:0 setting.
But if you have the higher speed HDMI Cable you can set it to the 4:2:2 Chroma setting and it will improve clarity, but does require the High Speed Cable.
Hope this helps with any questions you might have had!
Yes! I have exactly that setup.
Yes. Dolby vision is by default on for everything and it looks amazing
I have a C9, and I an ATV 4K. I prefer it. Links to all things Mac in my home which is a lot, and my wife prefers the remote. The LG software isn’t bad, even all these years later. It does Dolby Atmos which is nice.
I’d only recommend it if you really want an Apple TV. LG’s software is good enough for the majority of things. The ATV is just a bonus if you want that added AirPlay functions plus ATV ecosystem.
Yes
I have the same C2 TV and except for when I first got it and set it up in the spring, I haven’t seen the built-in apps. Actually, I did try a built in app the other day to rule out a problem with my HDMI cable and Apple TV, but it turned out to be the latest LG firmware.
For me, not only is the Apple TV fast and has great video processing, it’s also clean, ad free, easy to navigate, and just a better experience than built in apps, including LG’s WebOS.
In addition to all that above, I like the way it works seamlessly with my other apple products, whether it’s my AirPods, my phone, or iPad. It also has far less tracking which means more privacy.
Things are better these days, but devices with the biggest user base also get more ap updates for a much longer period of time than individual brands of TV’s, or even model lines within some brands when new ones come out.
How many people have actually used webOS on an LG C2? It is pretty fast, and you don’t have to worry about audio sync. The only let down is Apple Channels on the Apple TV app. But that seems to be an Apple thing. I can navigate quickly from YouTube to Netflix to the Apple TV app in a matter of seconds.
I
LG oled TV’s are exceptional we have 4 of them love them to death great quality and everything

I have a new 4K Sony Bravia and I mostly use the apps on it including the ATV app however my ATV does much more than the Sony can. Eg. Run Infuse off my iMac.
