Key Points:

  • Smart TVs, like computers and smartphones, require regular maintenance such as clearing cache to prevent slow performance caused by accumulated app data and limited storage space.
  • Using a wired Ethernet connection instead of Wi-Fi can significantly improve streaming reliability and reduce buffering by providing a faster, more stable internet connection.
  • Keeping your smart TV’s software up-to-date is essential for fixing glitches and improving performance, as manufacturers frequently release updates for their operating systems.
  • Disabling motion smoothing, a default setting on many smart TVs that inserts artificial frames, can restore natural picture quality and eliminate the "soap opera effect" disliked by many filmmakers.
