LAGKING TV
Every putt, on the big screen.
LagKing TV puts the 3D green on your TV. Every putt you hit through the gate rolls out on screen, big enough for the whole room to watch. Your phone runs the session, so you never touch a remote.
Free with your gate. Apple TV app, or any TV through a computer.
What you see
The same 3D scene as the LagKing app, drawn full size for a TV.
- Every putt in 3D. A chase camera follows the ball down the green, from your stroke to where it stops.
- Your numbers, big. Speed, distance, start line, and where the putt finished, readable from the couch.
- Every mode. Target practice, challenges, Sim 9, and the party games, with scores and turns on screen.
- Round summaries. When a round ends, the TV shows the same summary your phone does.
How it works
Your gate pairs with your phone like always. The phone sends each putt to the TV over the internet.

Start putting
Open any mode on your phone and putt. The TV follows along. You only pair once: next time, the TV reconnects on its own.
The Apple TV app
The best way to play LagKing on a TV.
LagKing for Apple TV
A native app, free with your gate. Search for LagKing in the App Store on your Apple TV, install it, and pair it with your phone. No computer, no cables, nothing to keep open.
Built for Apple TV 4K
Works on every Apple TV 4K. The newest models run the full graphics; older ones switch to simpler graphics on their own so the roll stays smooth. The older Apple TV HD may install it, but we can't promise it plays smoothly.
Why no Roku, Fire TV, Google TV, or smart TV app?
We built and tested them. They didn't play well enough to ship.
LagKing TV draws a live 3D green, lighting, and a rolling ball many times a second. Most streaming sticks and smart TVs are built to play video, not to draw 3D. Their graphics chips have a fraction of the power of an Apple TV 4K, and a fraction of what's in your phone. On them, the roll stutters and the green looks flat. We'd rather point you to something that plays great than ship an app that plays badly.

No Apple TV? Use a computer
Any laptop or desktop from the last several years draws LagKing TV smoothly. Open tv.lagking.com in Chrome, Safari, or Edge, press Full screen, and get it onto your TV one of these ways.
HDMI cable
Plug the computer into the TV with an HDMI cable (most newer laptops need a USB-C to HDMI adapter). Sharpest picture, no delay. Set the TV to that HDMI input.
AirPlay
On a Mac, open Control Center, choose Screen Mirroring, and pick your TV. Many Samsung, LG, Vizio, and Roku TVs accept AirPlay, no Apple TV needed.
Cast a tab
In Chrome, open the menu, choose Cast, pick your Chromecast or Google TV, and cast the tab. Handy, though the picture can be a little softer than a cable.
Just the computer
A laptop screen works too. Set it at the end of your putting area and play on it directly.
You can also open tv.lagking.com in your TV's own web browser, but most TV browsers are too slow to roll the putt smoothly. And you can always mirror your phone's screen to the TV. It works, but your phone draws the green and has to stay on the whole time, so it uses more battery than LagKing TV and you can't use the phone for anything else while you putt.
Good to know
- Does it cost anything? No. LagKing TV and the Apple TV app are included with your gate, like the phone app.
- Do I need the phone app? Yes. Your phone connects to the gate and runs the session, and you sign in to the LagKing app to pair a TV.
- Does it need internet? Yes. The phone sends each putt to the TV over the internet, so both need a connection. The TV and the phone don't have to be on the same Wi-Fi.
- More than one TV? Pair as many as you like. Manage them in the LagKing app under Settings, TV.
