Modern TVs can do a lot, but more features often mean more menus. A few setup changes can make everyday viewing much easier.

Simplify the path to your shows

Remove unused apps from the home screen, sign in only to services you use, and name inputs based on the connected device.

  • Put favorite apps first
  • Enable HDMI device control when compatible
  • Choose one primary remote
  • Write down the two or three steps you use most

Check the network
