You do realise that all OLED TV panels in LG, Sony, Panasonic are pretty much made by LG? So if you buy OLED, LG gets money.
I get your point though.
Got a tip for us?

I agree! Just bought a 2018 LG, other manufacturers are doing it so, it should be possible!

Care to explain?

Every time I want to watch a movie.
I'm in Australia and they haven't made a press release about the feature, but I will make a post on the US twitter anyway!

I have third gen Apple TVs set up in my classrooms for airplay mirroring alone, but that’s probably a very niche use case, since I rarely use this feature at home.
If you already have an Apple TV 4K hooked up to your tv, which I assume a lot of people here do, is there any advantage to this?
Huh not shocked that they won't bother having it available for LG 2017 models barely a year old my TV and yep a simple Firmware update or it least iTunes being available even if no AirPlay 2 available would still have worked with 2017 models but that is Apple for you making you buy the latest models even if it is not from Apple Ecosystem.
Cnet claims 2016 Vizios will also be getting the firmware update in the spring, hope they’re right!
Ya, but aside from the interface on some smart TV's why buy an Apple device if you have an integrated set ? That's why you buy it, for the 'smarts". Unless for looking for Appl-ey and/or specific features not found on particular model, portability, or just plan like the Apple GUI better, there are there options for most.s

Great job buddy we need more people to do this
Logitech Harmony Companion (with the Harmony Hub)? Very good universal remote.
Good on Samsung and Vizio for their backwards support. Very not good on LG who craps on us who just purchased a high end TV last summer. I upgrade my TV like every 7 years or so I guess I have some waiting to do
[doublepost=1547026608][/doublepost]
Done! Agreed, everyone should get on there, there's already a bunch of dissatisfaction going from the customers. We need to add fuel to the fire
Good job dude, there is no way that the Alpha 9 processors in the 2018 TVs can't handle airplay2Good on Samsung and Vizio for their backwards support.

I won't be using this for the same reason I don't use the rest of the smart features. I don't want random companies pilfering my data and building profiles based on what I watch. Vizio was already busted for selling viewing habit data to marketers but I doubt they actually stopped.
You obviously haven’t used a new Samsung TV. I, (like you) used to believe that the Apple TV was the best way to experience youtubeTV but I now have a brand new Samsung TV and the built in interface (as well as their remote) is a thousand times better than the Apple TV. My Apple TV will be relegated to the smaller tv upstairs. This is a smart move by Apple because if they want to promote their services they are coming to the conclusion that Apple TV probably isn’t going to be adopted by the masses. It’s only the hardcore Apple users and that’s not going to be enough.
I was skeptical but the Samsung built in interface is amazing.
This remote is perfect for me because it’s the smallest and doesn’t have unnecessary buttons. Maybe if there were a feature to tell Siri to mute, it would’ve been useful

In my household a lot. My girlfriend is Korean and she streams a lot of her shows from her phone or iPad to the tv via AirPlay because there isn’t any other way for her to do it. The majority of shows she watches isn’t available on the networks and apps in the US.
[doublepost=1547130154][/doublepost]will this allow users to play only Apple content? Movies, Pictures, Apple Music ? Or will this allow to airplay any Apps that are apple supported? i.e ,Amazon prime, netflix, youtube, mlb, etc...?
A few days ago, Apple announced that AirPlay 2-enabled smart TVs are coming soon from leading manufacturers, and we've since seen a series of announcements from Samsung, LG, Sony, and Vizio at CES 2019.
Apple has now shared a list of AirPlay 2-enabled TVs announced to date:
LG OLED (2019)
LG NanoCell SM9X series (2019)
LG NanoCell SM8X series (2019)
LG UHD UM7X series (2019)
Samsung QLED Series (2019 and 2018)
Samsung 8 Series (2019 and 2018)
Samsung 7 Series (2019 and 2018)
Samsung 6 Series (2019 and 2018)
Samsung 5 Series (2019 and 2018)
Samsung 4 Series (2019 and 2018)
Sony Z9G Series (2019)
Sony A9G Series (2019)
Sony X950G Series (2019)
Sony X850G Series (2019 85", 75", 65" and 55" models)
Vizio P-Series Quantum (2019 and 2018)
Vizio P-Series (2019, 2018 and 2017)
Vizio M-Series (2019, 2018 and 2017)
Vizio E-Series (2019, 2018 and 2017)
Vizio D-series (2019, 2018 and 2017)We've yet to see any AirPlay 2 announcements from smaller brands such as TCL, Hisense, Panasonic, or Toshiba.
AirPlay 2 support will allow users to stream video, audio, photos, and more directly from an iPhone, iPad, or Mac to supported smart TVs. HomeKit support is also coming to many of these TVs, enabling users to control volume, playback, and more using Siri or the Home app on an iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
Samsung announced that its latest smart TVs are also getting an exclusive iTunes TV and movie app for accessing the storefront.
Apple is widely expected to launch a Netflix-esque streaming video service later this year, and AirPlay 2 support on leading smart TVs would make it easier for users to stream Apple's original content on the big screen without an Apple TV. Rumors suggest Apple could introduce the service within the first half of 2019.

I just bought a 2018 LG TV. (Highish-end one, definitely on par with the 2018 Samsungs that are getting it added, and the immediate predecessor of the 2019 LG models listed.)
There are 2017 TVs from Vizio on the list, but only 2019 from LG.
I could give up my AppleTV if LG adds this to their 2018 models. One can only hope...
