Manufacturer statement:
The LGM is a USB 2.0 (Micro) video capture card. Designed primarily for beginner streamers and content creators, people that want to give live streaming a shot or maybe just do some basic recording for personal archives. Focused on console gamers that aren’t really looking for the whole 4K, HDR or high refresh rate experience; think switch, PS4, Xbox and even mobile phone gaming (iPad or iPhone). The LGM is able to pass-through Full HD at 60 FPS content with zero lag and record it at that same resolutions and frame rate (1080p60). Not requiring a high specs streaming PC and keeping things as simple as possible with its plug-and-play nature there isn’t much to worry about for first time streamers. The LGM positions itself as the first external game capture devices for beginner streamers or content creators just as it should be, easy to use and simple.

Packaging:
First things first, there is shrink wrap around the box. Knowing what we do about the tons of waste with plastics and how it's bad for our environment, not to mention more to clean up around here, you would think manufacturers would take a hint.
Looking at the package you see the Aver Media logo in the upper right corner. There is a smart looking picture of the product on the box front, and on the sides you find the specs. Looking to the bottom you see the EAN, UPC, and QR Codes. The back has information about the product in multi language format.
Unboxing:
Inside, we have another box. Come on guys, we could have done this with just one heavy duty box, this is just more waste!!
