Software updates keep your TV up-to-date with the latest content, provide programming changes, and enhance your overall viewing experience.

Before You Start

Make sure to connect your TV to an active internet connection using a high-speed connection with a wired router, a wireless gaming adapter, a wireless bridge, or a wired powerline adapter. Sometimes, we offer an update through the antenna or a digital cable signal.

  1. Check the current software version on your TV from the Settings menu or the Help menu of your TV.
  2. Compare the latest software available with the one on your TV, and if the available software is newer, download and install the update. Downloads are posted on your model support page.
