Begin your initial setup
Each brand will walk you through a set of instructions when you power your television on for the first time. Despite differing, they will broadly ask you to select your preferred language, connect to your local Wi-Fi network, and tick yes to some of its privacy policies.
Get acquainted with your home screen
After going through with the initial set up process, you will be greeted by a home screen. Get to know your TV’s home screen and browse through the apps running at the bottom of it. You may find popular apps like Netflix, Prime Video, and Hotstar to name a few.
These apps are typically pre-installed and available for use almost immediately. But if you’re looking for a specific one, you can always search within the search bar provided within your TV’s app store. Every brand offers its own app store – however, some might even use a different approach, such as the Play Store, for you to pick your desired app.

Once you do that, your television should automatically detect your device.
On following these steps, you should be good to watch your favourite shows and movies on your new smart TV. However, bear in mind that you may have to go through a few additional steps depending on the brand and model you choose.
