    Hi folks,

    Well I've spent the last hour looking through reviews and checking online shops but the reports are often US centric and inconclusive... ie. Some people swearing by a product and others saying it's a dud in equal measure!?

    Thought it would be safest to come on here and ask for a recommendation of what to buy and where exactly.

    Just want to hook up my LG G2 to a LG TV over HDMI.

    Am Kit Kat 4.4.2 moving to Lollipop ASAP (does this matter? Ie should I hold off!?)

    Tks ;)

    What's the TV model? If it supports Miracast, you can do it wirelessly from your G2.

    Alternatively, you can use a €30 Chromecast and mirror your screen.

    Hey thanks for getting back to me, much appreciated.

    TV is about 3 years old but doesn't have miracast unfortunately.

    How do people rate chromecast? I heard it was a bit laggy and occasionally buggy? Still not quite there in terms off settled tech?

    +1 on the chromecast. Other half got me one for xmas & i haven't stopped using it. Ive a g3 & use "all cast" to stream showbox & anything else from my phone as well as mirroring the phone for internet browsing etc..

    Also very good in that it has "supported apps" like netflix & youtube and ive never once experienced laggyness or glitches.

    Been recommending it to anyone that'll listen 😊
    Edit : all cast costs €3 from play store but well worth it in my opinion
