If it is indeed a WebOS model and it still says coming soon on the LG Store sounds like you need to do an update, just go to about TV and click software update, it might just fix the issues with the USB as well, not sure about that though, but you need the update anyway!
Update: I updated the firmware, and I have the LG store now :-)
I tried plugging in my Logitech receiver (usb) for my wireless logitech keyboard and mouse, but that didn't work.
I haven't tried viewing pictures again from USB. But I did set up Plex server, and the LG tv plays my movies and series from my computer via plex-dlna on the tv very nice.
Except for subtitles. Plex server is set up to automatically search download and display subtitles, and that works on my plex clients, but on the LG tv via DLNA there are no subtitles unfortunately.
I also used the youtube and the redbull app on the tv, they work very well, just like the accuweather app.
I wonder if at some point lg will release a program to stream the tv input from the tv to the computer.
I tried screen mirroring but that dit not work. I have windows 8 but not yet 8.1, so natively from windows is no option.
I have an intel core i7, so i tried using widi but the driver said my configuration does not support widi.
I tried searching for a LG windows program to mirror to tv but that does not exist.
I tried opening chrome, installing the chromecast extension (ps i do not have a chromecast device) and tried to use the chromecast button in Chrome to cast to the tv. On several attempts, the tv was listed under available devices. But when I clicked it nothing happened to my tv. I tried several settings and options on the tv via DeviceConnect but nothing worked.
So I guess installing windows 8.1 would be the only option for me, but for now, reading this forum, it seems this does not always work well.
If i updated or figured something out, I will let you guys know.
