I recently purchased a new TV for gaming, a TCL 43Q51BG. However, the input lag with the AV port is extreme and unacceptable, and the "Game Mode" and "Game Master" settings are grayed out and unselectable. How do I put the TV into game mode? I also purchased an AV-to-HDMI adapter, but it did not work at all. I'm currently using the OEM AV adapter.

I recently purchased a new TV for gaming, a TCL 43Q51BG for use with a NES, SNES, WII, WII U, NS, PS2, and PS4. However, the input lag is extreme and unacceptable, and the "Game Mode" and "Game Master" settings are grayed out and unselectable. How do I put the TV into game mode?

I have an old monitor that is still working ok (LG W2361V). Is it possible to make it into a TV by using an Android box or is it too old for that? What about the sound?

I want to know whether there is a way to screencast/Chromecast video (such as video, from WhatsApp, phone/video calls), onto an Android television screen.

My setup: - Nvidia Shield is connected to the TV - I use the optical out of the TV to connect two speakers - I use the Nvidia Shield remote to control the Shield volume out (not the TV volume or the speaker volume: just the Shield volume) This setup has worked just fine for years, but I recently changed my TV from an old Panasonic plasma TV to a QLED from LG and it doesn't work anymore. What happens is that I can change the volume just fine if I'm in the dashboard or if I play a file locally. But if I stream something (I tried Netflix, HBO Max, and Disney+), the volume doesn't change and I get the pop-up saying that I have to go into settings and set up the remote control. This ONLY happens when streaming, and it did not happen with my old TV. I can change the volume just fine if I set the output to be the TV speakers instead of the optical out, but obviously that's not what I want. I have tried checking/unchecking IR, CEC, and HDMI fixed volume control in the Shield's settings but no luck. I also try to set up the remote again but also there, no luck. I'm looking for suggestions on how to be able to make it work also during streaming. Thanks!

I've 2 new Android TVs (Android 11) from different brands, and during the 1st power-on, several questions were raised and the search of channels and Internet was configured. However, I skipped to step of setting up a Google account. At the moment, the TV is working, but I can't see any option to set up a favorite list of channels. Unexpectedly, from Home, "Settings", "Channel", I can see only: - Parental controls - Open source licenses - Version In the past with other Android TV, I was able to set favorite channels without adding a Google account. Is there any option to manage channels?

I have a bricked TV Box MeCool HM8 and I need to restore it to factory settings. Unfortunately, I have the stock firmware in zip format. I need to convert it into image format to be able to use an SD card for recovery. Any help, or advice, would be appreciated.

I have a TV from the brand "Haam". It's supposed to be smart, but recently I couldn't use any app. Nothing works on it. I can only watch regular channels from satellite. I want to update the TV software, but the only way to update it is by using USB. The following figure shows the system details: This is my first time to update a TV. I don't have the experience on this. Please, I need your help and advice in this regard. Thanks in advance.

My Samsung TV/CX Core has these two options marked as true:

com.samsung/featureconfig/cx_core_ir_one_remote: true
com.samsung/featureconfig/ir_blaster_sniffing_supported: true

These options can be found by entering the hidden "Service menu", then select FMS -> FMS -> Factory App Menu -> Option -> Engineer Option -> CX CORE. Can anyone tell me what they mean or what their purpose is?

I've got an LG Smart TV (webOS - not Android), hardwired to the router and I have a Samsung Galaxy A54 phone. What I thought would be a straightforward IoT service to allow you to set/pause internet-screentime of the LG SmartTV, ideally from anywhere, using the phone, appears difficult/impossible. In summary, this is what I have tried. 1) Using the router settings (access via 192.168.1.1). This provided very crude settings of time limits in blocks of 1 hour, that can be applied to the SmartTV-internet connection. When I set these times, they worked somewhat randomly (not triggering at the exact set times or not triggering at all). Also, there is no app for the phone, and access is only while using the network and using a web portal (e.g. Chrome/Edge) while on the network. 2) Googling this question mostly brings up links to Parental Control of Android devices (LG is webOS-based). I tried to use the Android Parental Control app on my phone. It appears the app wants to pair with a device that has the app installed. However, the LG webOS is not Android-compatible. 3) Looked for apps on the LG webOS shop to control the internet connection. This did not provide any obvious solutions. I've run out of ideas. Is there any solution (hardware, software, or combination) where I can control the screen time of Internet TV? [I am happy to consider using a hardware item (e.g. Chromecast) to put between the router and the TV if such a solution is available/possible]

Recently, I have seen TVs announced as official Android TV (Android 11) with Chromecast built-in. But these TVs are hardly usable without setting up a Google account. However, I am aware of TVs with Android 9 completely usable by adding a Google account, that includes a media player/web browser, access to external storage, and even a specific store for apps. I can't find a comparative but at least I found some differences and big limitations: - The lack of a preinstalled web browser - A limited and restricted Play, no Chrome or Firefox - Not possible to install APKs from external storage - Some apps installed from APKs are not recognized by the default launcher (requires a sideload launcher) Is there information about all the limitations introduced by Google? Is it possible to move to standard Android/Play? Would future updates of Android TV remove potential installed APKs?

I just bought a new Smart TV, FOX 32AOS430E, to be precise and had some issues with it the other night with my USB drive. I needed to put a large movie on the USB drive, over 4 GB, so I formatted it to ext4 and then when I tried to open it in file manager, it says can't connect to USB. So, I reformatted to ExFAT because I read that Android TV supports that format, alas my TV doesn't, or at least my file manager doesn't, and then I try another flash disk in the end that was Fat32 and that one worked. I can't put my huge movie on FAT32 and can't find anywhere what formats the TV supports, I guess it's not as common as Sony or others, not even a manual online other than what I got in the box. Edit: I tried ext4, the TV couldn't connect to that one, I have Linux, that's not an issue, but I refuse to believe that Fat32 is the only supported system?

I bought this Android based Smart TV Box from Amazon. It's complicated to navigate within the interface because the Android settings of the box are for **tablet** instead for **TV**. That causes the problem that apps that are TV optimized (Netflix..) display the tablet interface instead of the TV one. Is it possible to change the box settings to TV? Details: - Android 5.1 Octa-Core 64bits CPU - Rockchip 3368 Octa-Core 64-Bit ARM Coretex-A53 up to 1,5 GHz, 2G RAM.

We are using BenQ Interactive Flat Panels (IFPs) at school, and we are having issues with updating the apps. The firewall rules we have set up *should* bypass all authentication, but when it comes to updating the apps, the download either just hangs (i.e. when using DMS) or immediately fails (when attempting a download on the device). System version updates work without issue, but a reset will not "download" the system version, this must be run off a USB instead. We have reserved the DHCP IPs (both Wifi and Eth) and assigned them to the firewall rules listed below (provided by BenQ): |App |URL/DNS | |-------|-----------| |EZWrite |https://ezwriteupload-eu.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/

I have LG G2 and a TV which has a USB port. The TV can recognise when I put a flash drive into its USB port and it plays videos like a computer, but I would like to ask: 1. Can I use my phone also as a flash disk? Is it safe? Could it create problems for my phone? 2. When I watch a video on my phone on the internet via a wireless connection, can I watch the video at the same time on the TV as well? All I have is this cable which I use for connecting my phone to the computer.

I've got a partitioned drive - A USB drive, where i've got 2 of the partitions formatted ext3, one of the partitions as a FAT32, and the last one as FAT12. I wanted to access the FAT32 partition using an Android TV, however, the TV gives an error message "Unrecognised USB". Is there a way I could access individual partitions using the TV? (PS: It is a MI TV)

After setting the new GoogleTV Launcher as default via ADB (using the command

shell cmd package set-home-activity "com.google.android.apps.tv.launcherx"

) on my Android TV Box, checking the default launcher (always via ADB) using two different methods the shell returns a mismatching result as you can see below, and in practice the manufacturer's own launcher (timvision.launcher) always opens as default. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

I have a Sony TV KD-55XE7005 with the Firmware v8.905-1000. I do not exactly know what Firmware/OS it is (some SONY proprietary), but it is **NOT** Android TV. Other newer SONY TVs come with Android TV. **Can I change my TV to Android TV?** I wish to do so that I can install applications, which is not possible with my TV. It comes with some apps, but no chance to add new ones.

I'd like to use a smart tv box for a kiosk application. Problem is, my client wants the screen to be in vertical mode. Is there a way to rotate the display to be 1080 x 1920 instead of 1920 x 1080 and rotated 90º? I'm looking into a box with Android 4.1.

I have a Sony Bravia TV KDL-55W805B which unfortunately has Sony's own Smart TV software installed, and not Android TV which newer Sony TV's have. I am stuck with a discontinued TV software that doesn't get any updates or new apps. Is there any way for me to install Android TV on my TV and replace the Sony Smart TV?
