I'm merely throwing my instance and what is becoming a commonplace discussion of TV hardware limitations over in r/OLED, r/Plex, and r/HTPC. Buy a Belkin USB-C to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (USB Type-C) RJ45 Black or other. The USB C to Gigabit Ethernet adapter supports high-speed broadband up to 2.5 Gbps (2500 Mbps), which is 2.5 times faster than 1 Gbps Gigabit Ethernet, and supports 10/100/1000 Mbps. Perhaps my use case is niche, but there are a growing number of people self-hosting.Īnyway, I'm not registering and posting to spark up an argument.
Plex likes to see twice that to keep things playing seamlessly. Take Parasite, for example, w 7.1 TrueHD Atmos, averaging 86.3Mbps but can spike to 103-105 in certain scenes. The built-in NIC for LG is a bottleneck, whereas an Nvidia Shield 2015/2017/2019 wired up on gigabit has no issues with consistent playback of these same files. Plex uses caching and playback methods that have the best environment for seamless playback when there is *twice* the media bitrate (Mbps) in available bandwidth/throughput available. For Internet and general use this should be adequate enough - dont though even THINK. You wont get anywhere near the 1 Gb/s range - not on USB 2.
Your Mobo probably wont be able to handle the max USB 2 Bus speed so your LAN adapter will give you around 100 Mb/s. I have a Plugable brand 2.5Gbit adapter arriving tomorrow, will follow up with test results from that. Max USB 2 speed - even if you COULD get it is 480 Mb/s (Mega BITS / sec).

When Belkin is patched into MacBook Pro directly, consistent 943Mbps. Connects a USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 PC, laptop or tablet to a wired Ethernet network Provides instant access to Gigabit speeds without an internal Ethernet card. Utilizing Plex or Xplay to direct play UHD backups (HEVC/x265) from a dedicated media server (2600x 1060) and Synology NAS suffers when limited to 100mbit. With the Belkin USB-C adapter out the back of the Studio Display, I could peak at 525Mbps using iPerf3 (direct ethernet to server device). However, there must not be that many users on here that encode their own UHD backups with HDR intact along with EAC-3 audio. Agree with your sentiments when they're inclusive of streaming services in the current day.
