HDMI 2.1 supports higher bandwidth, enabling features like 4K resolution at 120Hz, Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), and Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM), which are crucial for next-generation gaming consoles and high-performance PCs.

How do I access apps like Netflix or Disney+?

Troubleshooting

TV will not turn on.

Check that the power cord is securely plugged into both the TV and a working wall outlet. Try a different outlet. Ensure the remote has fresh batteries and is pointed at the TV's sensor.

No picture or sound.

Verify that the correct input source is selected. Check all cable connections to and from the TV. Restart the TV by unplugging it for one minute and plugging it back in.

Apps are not loading or are unresponsive.

Ensure the TV is connected to a stable internet connection. Try closing and reopening the app, or clearing the app's cache and data via the TV's settings. Restarting the TV may also resolve the issue.

Picture quality is poor or distorted.

Check the signal source quality. Ensure HDR settings are correctly configured for compatible content. Run the TV's built-in picture optimisation or reset picture settings to default.

Remote control is not working.

Replace the batteries in the remote. Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote and the TV's IR sensor. Try re-pairing the remote if it uses Bluetooth connectivity.

Dolby Atmos audio is not functioning.

Confirm that your audio source supports Dolby Atmos and that your connected sound system (soundbar, AV receiver) is also Dolby Atmos compatible. Check audio output settings in the TV's menu and ensure Dolby Atmos is enabled.
