I don’t know how misinformation about TVs spreads. In fact, this is not true, I fully support it. Uninformed people file a claim online; It is repeated like the received wisdom; Reddit refers to it; ChatGPT and other large language models use these posts as sources.
As someone who has reviewed TVs since the early 2000s, and confirmed with a major TV manufacturer, I’ll tell you definitively: You can’t speed up an old smart TV. Sorry.
I think some of the confusion stems from a misunderstanding of what TVs are really capable of – and what actually happens when they’re “slow.”
All TVs, even The bestuse processors that are much less capable than those in your phone, tablet, or computer. They might do a good job at some specialized things, like image processing, but in general, TVs use less expensive (aka slower) processors that are reasonably disposable. You cannot speed up slow processors.
The biggest problem is knowing why any device is “slow”. There are a lot of conspiracy theories about planned obsolescence. But the real problem is that all software becomes more detailed and complex with each generation. With ever-increasing processing power, there’s little incentive to optimize for slower devices.
In fact, with limited development time and money, most of the company’s efforts and resources will be spent on adding new features and ensuring the TV runs.
Well, that’s your problem. Your TV will look terrible when it’s that dirty.
The results were large, bloated apps compared to versions released when TVs were new. Or to look at it another way, older devices are now being asked to run software that is barely optimized for modern devices. If the same software was released when the TV was new, it won’t work for anything.
There is no conspiracy here. This happens to apps on all devices: TVs, phones, tablets, computers, anything.
These methods will not make your TV faster
If you’re looking for how to make your TV turn on faster, you’ll find a variety of ideas. I have confirmed that these will not work with a major TV manufacturer.
Delete applicationsOne of the most common tips is to delete apps you don’t use. This is not how modern computing works. Run applications storage space. Stocking has nothing to do with how quickly something appears. This is processing power and memory (also known as RAM). Deleting apps you’re not using won’t hurt anything, but it doesn’t free up physical RAM or processing power to make your TV run faster.
He probably would have gotten better results if he had used SMPTE color bars.
Clear cache: Another common misconception. Cache is a temporary memory used by the TV during normal use. Generally, there is no way to clear the cache unless there is a specific option for it deep within the file Settings menus.
In theory, some TVs may clear the cache if you unplug it, wait a moment and then plug it back in. However, this doesn’t actually solve anything.
First, the TV fills its cache back up with whatever software it was using before. As we mentioned above, cache is usually not the reason why your TV feels slow. Simply turning the TV off with the remote won’t usually do anything because modern TVs (and any device you can turn on with the remote) don’t “turn off” when you do this – they just go into standby mode.
Some models allow you to turn off the power completely by long-pressing the power button, but again, this is a temporary “fix” to an ongoing problem.
Factory reset: This is a more extreme option than clearing the cache, and completely returning the TV to how it was when you bought it, which is “faster”. This is very annoying, as the TV will want to update itself again to the latest firmware and all the apps you have installed.
Even if the apps you’re using are pre-installed, older (and certainly faster) versions likely won’t work. So you will also have to wait until they are all reinstalled and updated. The end result of all this is the same again. You’ll be right back where you started, without all that wasted time. Also, as we mentioned, it does not address the problem.
It may make streaming faster
There is one way to speed up your slow Smart TV. You can’t improve your TV’s internal processors, but you can go beyond them. that Inexpensive streaming devicesuch as the Roku Streaming Stick, Amazon Fire TV, or Google Chromecast, can “improve” a TV’s performance by turning it into a “dumb” TV.
You’ll be using the TV primarily as a monitor, and you’ll be outsourcing the interface to the newer device. High-end Roku models or an Apple TV Box will closely mimic and perhaps even exceed the performance of a modern TV.
And only then speed up your Wi-Fi network
Although it’s not directly related to TV, if your issue is with streaming, it’s worth considering some ways to do this. Speed up your home Wi-Fi for better streaming performance. Some options are free and only require some minor rearranging of the gear you already have.
