Smart TV LG: setup, widgets, applications, registration

A few years ago, in many homes, TVs with a box at the rear rested comfortably. They were massive and heavy. The size of their screen could not boast of its scale. The image quality left much to be desired. Gradually, they were replaced by new developments. The box behind disappeared, instead of a convex screen appeared a smooth plasma panel. The abundance of functions made it possible to quickly forget about heavily customizable "boxes". Companies with world-wide names began to offer users new products with LED and LCD-displays. The quality of the picture was amazing. However, over time, these "subtle things" became commonplace. It's the turn of smart TVs, which you can control with clicks, clicks and finger movement. One of these are the mind-blowing TVs of the Smart TV series LG. What are the South Korean manufacturers laid special to their new offspring? How to set up Smart TV LG? How to register and download applications? This and many other things can be found below.

Conquering user likes

Only a couple of years ago, two Asian companies began to supply the world market with the first models of TVs, which were called Smart TV. LG and one more Korean giant called Samsung account for most of the market for this product. It is safe to say that they are a kind of monopoly of this niche. To date, the two companies have snugly settled on the market, replacing it from smaller competitors. At the same time, they pretend to compete with each other, monthly offering their potential consumers improved models of "smart" TVs. We are also interested in the brainchild of LG.

Prerequisite: Internet presence

The work of Smart TV LG is based on the connection to the World Wide Web. That is why the main condition for the subsequent process of enjoying the functional merits of the new "resident" of an apartment is the presence in the Internet room. However, that's not all. No new modems offered by mobile operators are used here. A full Internet is needed. In extreme cases, it is possible to connect to a TV using a wireless Wi-Fi connection.

With or without cable, the user

If the Internet in the house is already available, you can proceed with the direct configuration of Smart TV. For LG-TVs of this model range, two connection options are provided.

Connecting with a cable is also an excellent option if there is no Wi-Fi network or if you do not want / can not configure it.

This is done with the help of a switch or, as it is also called, a hub. It is a small device, to one side of which an Internet cable is connected, and on the other, several cords are output at once. Those, in turn, connect to separately located computers, and in our case - also to the TV.
