The streaming speed and quality are exceptional. No more endless buffering or lagging—watching content is smooth and uninterrupted, even in high definition. Mission USB Power Cable includes special power management circuitry that enhances the peak power capability of the USB port by storing excess energy and then releasing it as needed. Michael is not quite correct in his explanation USB and power design considerations, an area I have some expertise in as an EE. But I agree it’s very curious why so many refuse to use the provided power adapter. Their TV requires use of a wall outlet so there must be one close by.

Less clutter, more control—Alexa Voice Remote lets you use your voice to search and launch programmes from across different apps. You can also control power and volume on your compatible TV and soundbar without needing another remote.USB 2.0 voltage from the host port is always 5v if it’s working correctly, regardless if the device connected uses 10mA or 500mA. The voltage will never increase beyond 5V unless there has been a circuit failure or it was improperly designed. As Elias correctly stated, USB 2.0 is specified to provide at least 500mA, many host devices will provide more. Now, when someone connects a USB peripheral that requires more current than the host port can provide, it can be handled in different ways. A well designed host port will just shutdown and stay shutdown until it detects the condition has been resolved. If it’s not as well designed, the port will put out what current it can, but the external device may see a voltage sag and definitely will not get the full current it needs. Depending on the external device, this can cause erratic and potentially damaging behavior, or the device may sense the condition and shut itself down. The USB port on a TV could be designed to provide up to about 2A of power, this isn’t an issue, but it does take more components and increases cost. The port can also be designed to always provide power, regardless if the TV itself on. It’s just a design decision, which has to be balance against other concerns like phantom energy usage.
