Before proceeding with anything else on your smart TV, we strongly advise installing the most recent firmware.
There’s a strong possibility that you’ll be asked to complete an update before leaving the setup wizard, and you might even be able to configure automatic updates. TV firmware can influence everything from format compatibility and app efficiency to user safety, and it’s one of the few methods for manufacturers to resolve bugs and glitches remotely. That said, if you didn’t intend to connect your TV to the internet, most television manufacturers offer a support page, which generally provides the latest firmware files.
You will need access to a web browser to download these update packages, and it’s typically advisable to transfer them to a 32GB USB drive or smaller that is formatted to exFAT or FAT32. Once the firmware is on your drive, plug it into the USB port on your TV, at which point the actual update process should commence.
