Rachel Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 My husband upgraded our tv awhile back to a smart tv. I wasn't a fan at first but we do a have a few school things we did online before that didn't work real well crowding around my 10 year old laptop. I realized a couple weeks ago that I could use the tv as a big computer! However, it is pretty difficult to navigate the internet with the remote that came with the tv. I think a Bluetooth mouse would be helpful or maybe a keyboard, but maybe I just need an app to turn my phone into a remote? What do I want? We mostly use the smart tv for a couple specific websites I have bookmarked and a YouTube playlist I set up for school. If it was easier to navigate I think we could use it for more. It's a brand new LG tv, not top of the line, from Walmart or some other box store. I have no idea which model we have. What do I want/ need to be able to easily click links or type in websites?

Arcadia Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 (edited) My husband just use an app on the tablet for our smart TV. There are apps for the phone but he get work calls sometimes so the tablet makes more sense, besides bigger keyboard on the tablet. ETA: This app is what we use http://www.lg.com/us/experience-tvs/remote-apps Edited October 9, 2017 by Arcadia 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KungFuPanda Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 DS just got a cheap Bluetooth keyboard set 5 below that works great. He has it connected to his Playstation for surfing youtube. I'll bet any Bluetooth keyboard would work. Just google how to hook it to your specific device. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
