mallom Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Hi guys, Just wondering if anyone has integrated this TV yet. There are a bunch of IP drivers in the database but none specific for this model. Since they all use WebOS, I would imagine that it would work fine. This post is not to discuss its image quality. Just wondering if the available IP drivers would work with this TV or if anyone has used any other IR driver with discrete commands (ON/OFF/HDMI).https://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.aspx?sku=809863&utm_source=20190131_eNews_SE_Revenue_R5187&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=R5187&MccGuid=93da952d-7726-4953-954c-445706cd379e Thanks!

Crustyloafer Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 If it runs WebOS then it almost certainly can be controlled via the Annex4 driver if there is not a C4 database driver for it. It is not a free driver but it is superb and has a great selection of mini drivers to go with it for direct access to the streaming services/apps. https://annex4.link/drivers/lg-webos-smarttv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im familiar with them. Just wondering if the free one of the database would also work. I like free stuff! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crustyloafer Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Just pick a similar model from database, ID it via IP and not SDDP and then try it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mallom Posted January 31, 2019 Author Share Posted January 31, 2019 Well, was hoping to confirm if someone has integrated this model before actually buying it. hehe I bet it will work fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crustyloafer Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 If it doesn't then you always have the Annex4 driver to fall back on anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SY3 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I own the 70UK6570AUA model and I'm using the free LG driver in the database - 70UK6570AUB. Works great. Full IP control. Even using the Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and YouTube miniapp drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I just looked and the 6570 series uses AI Thin Q instead of webOS so not sure if the free IP driver would work. The cost of the Annex driver was a little high offsetting any savings on the unit itself and I wanted IP control so I went with the 6570 series.

Im looking at the driver's documentation and it does not say what OS it was made for. When I google some of the model numbers, they all came back as WebOS, but some of the TVs are capable of "AI ThinQ®" (I think its just a voice assistance thing... not sure). In theory, I would imagine that as long as you are using a WebOS capable TV, the driver should work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't tried the built-in voice assistance since we're using the Alexa driver anyway. I'm pretty sure you're right. Just wanted to let you know my experience with the 6570 model. Been using it everyday for 2 months now and it hasn't failed. When the TV is turned off, it will drop off the network. Unlike my Sharp which needs an active connection for IP control.

Pounce Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 If it makes you feel any better the thing also has serial control Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don't care about IP control, as long as the TV takes discrete IR commands, im happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
