LG C2 Internal Apps or Nvidia Shield Pro?

Post Body

I was just curious for those who have both (or a similar model TV) which do you prefer?

Yesterday I managed to setup my Sony X90K and 2 LG C2 at my new home before the big move. I quite liked the Sony's UI which is similar to the Shield's. The LG C2 I only got to use for a few minutes after installation, but I'll be going back today to mess around with it. But overall, I quite like the UI (besides the ads, a PiHole would fix that), the remote, and the PIP feature.

I bought 2 Shield Pros mainly for game streaming from my PC to both C2's. The 2nd biggest reason way that my cousin who has LG smart TVs said that boxes are much more responsive than the TVs UI. Personally, I didn't notice any issues. We opted not to get one for the X90K since it has AndroidTV and we also have an older AndroidTV box if needed.

The game streaming latency I wasn't too impressed with. It's fine for casual singleplayer games, but I wouldn't use it for anything fast paced. I have the option of running a 30ft HDMI cable from my PC to the receiver through a wall and converted under a rug. But before doing that I'll need to test the controller latency of the C2's Bluetooth (I heard TV Bluetooth tends to be terrible).

In terms of apps, I mainly use the following: Netflix, Crunchyroll, Plex, Steam Link. As far as I understand, there is no Crunchyroll or Steam Link on webOS. The Crunchyroll app I could live without, I can simply cast it from my phone.

I am at a crossroads. I could either keep the Shield's, or return them and keep the money for something else.
