Your Smart TV Has a Secret Menu: Here's How You Access It
1 min read
Summary
If you have a smart TV made by LG, Sony, Vizio, Amazon, Panasonic, Samsung, Philips or Hisense, you might be able to access a secret service menu on your device.
The service menu offers advanced settings and information such as developer tools, hardware diagnostics and calibration options.
However, it is important to note that accessing this menu is typically intended for technical support engineers and if used incorrectly, you can potentially cause damage to your TV.
Different TV models require different processes to access the service menu, which can involve button combinations or secret codes.
It is also possible to exit the service menu on any TV by simply powering the device off, but this could cause you to lose any unsaved settings.
So while it is interesting to learn how to access this secret menu, it is probably best to leave it alone unless you are sure you want to risk adjusting these sensitive settings.
