PLAiR is not locked into a single content source like Apple TV (with iTunes). PLAiR is an open Android platform with full support for both local content and online content through either phones, tablets or laptops. In addition, PLAiR is portable and half the cost of Apple TV.

If you have an Apple TV the only reason would be to control your Tv from the iPhone/iPod. Not much else. The Apple TV does everything pretty well. That said the iPhone app allows you to stream pictures and type directly. The phone does not turn on or off the TV so not much work there. If it were my choice I'd just use the Apple TV.

No. iTunes and Apple TV both connect without having a device physically connected.

I don't know about Apple TV. I use it to control streaming video playback on my MacBook Pro.

Thanks for your question. I have not used the amazing sounding Dac-itX with Apple TV yet.

I have Apple TV but have not had trouble with it. When I added the TIVO wireless it didn't cause any problems with Apple TV but did solve the problem I was having getting the program schedule download from TIVO.

Apple TV does stream music from the cloud. We just got an apple TV for Christmas and it works great!

I have my tv set up with apple tv and i have access to Netflix, hulu plus, all iTunes content & many others. I can also connect my lap wirelessly for streaming amazon prime.

If you are interested in the streaming aspect then yes - otherwise I don't see a need to. You have plenty of memory and tuners. We upgraded because we only had 2 tuners and not enough memory and I really wanted to be able to stream to my IPAD anywhere. I think that is the main benefit.

It is only for using on your computer, smartphone and tablets. There may be a way to do it using a iPad/iPhone to a tv with a Apple TV, but not sure.

Not directly through the TV, but the quality of streaming from an Apple TV is fantastic on this screen. Also considering the price, an Apple TV is far cheaper than the price jump from this to a smart tv.

I have two of these as well as two AppleTvs.They work fine with the current Mac iTunes. The problem used to be the older protected AAC files which will not play over the streamed network.

I don't think so. It's set up for DVI in converted to HDMI out. You would need HMDI in (from the Apple TV) converted to DVI (or whatever your TV uses) out.

We have exactly this model, and have Am-prime connected without any box. We do have a box, however for apple tv.

Sorry. I don't have an apple tv system. It works wonderfully with MBA 2013 to HDTV. I watch hulu and Netflix all the time using it.

There is an LG app store (Premium) where you may download most for free (Netflix, Hulu, etc.). I do not know of Plex being available, but for media streaming this T.V. will search for computers on your network and stream from them directly over your home network. Also I just hooked up a Chromecast which works quite well.
