Creating a Smart TV account. Installing games and programs
Continuing the topic of televisions with Smart TV technology, we will talk about installing games and programs today. The user who first encountered such a TV will not just immediately figure out what. Therefore, such a small article was prepared.
Everything will be considered on the example of LG TVs (in this case, model 32LN575U). Perhaps many have already managed to guess that there are special applications for installation of games and programs, Game World and LG Smart World, respectively. But, for some reason, just so these applications can not open.
The secret is that you have to have a special LG account. With it, it is possible to download and install different programs.
By the way, the choice of these programs and different games is not so great. For example, many games require a special Magic Remote console. But still there you can find something useful for yourself.
Also, do not forget that the TV must have Smart TV technology and it must have a connection to the Internet, in any possible way.
Why require registration?
If you do a personal account in LG Smart World, then access to the full use of the functions of the smart system. Almost all the actions with the Internet require an account.
After registration, access to:
- Seine on the network;
- view video on YouTube;
- online cinemas, like IVI, Megogo;
- games;
- news and weather sites online;
- video conferencing via Skype;
- interaction with other people in messengers;
- mass of other video and static content on the Internet.

Create an account on TV LG
We need to register. This can be done on the LG website (and then just enter your data on the TV). and directly from the TV itself.
I recommend connecting the mouse to the TV, or manage from a smartphone using the LG TV Remote program. It is possible to the console, but it’s easier to type the text.
Go to Smart TV and choose the profile icon (screenshot below).
Press the Registration button.
We read the user agreement and click agree (there seems to be necessary two times agree).
Enter the email address, just specify a valid address that you have access. Will need to confirm it. And enter twice password. If you failed to specify the password from the first time, then nothing terrible, I also only point the letters and numbers, then the system accepted the password.
If all is well, the TV will report that you need to confirm the registration, and suggest open a web browser that you could enter the mail. But it is better to refuse, go for a computer, go to the mail and in the letter from LG, follow the link to complete the registration.
On the site you will see a message that the account is confirmed and the offer to specify additional data for the purchase of applications (if you are going to buy programs, I recommend immediately solving this question).
Now we return to the TV if you didn’t touch anything there, then the email address will already be specified, it remains only to enter the password (which you specified during registration) and log in to the account that we do.
This will appear (screenshot below). You can choose not.
Everything, a green icon will appear near the profile icon.

Internet connection
The first condition of the SMART TV is the presence of an Internet in your home. And the Internet must be wired, or the method of connecting it must provide Wi-Fi router. Thus, simple USB modems of cellular operators do not fit here, so the first thing you need to spend the Internet.
There are 2 ways to connect the TV to the Internet to use technology:
- Through the cable. in the event that you are conveniently inserted to the TV to the TV, as well as you can either have a home network Wi-Fi and there is no desire / possibility to configure it, or there is no built-in Wi-Fi adapter and there is no desire / possibility to buy it external.
- Via wireless Wi-Fi network.
What method to use is to solve you, works tv perfectly in both options, the difference in the setting will be only in the first and last step.
If through cable
In this case, you need to connect the internet network cable in the LAN connector on the rear panel of the TV. If only one computer is connected to the Internet in the house, then for the simultaneous work of the Internet on it and TV you need to buy a special splitter (it is called a swish or hub) and connect the Internet cable to it. Then one of its output LAN 1 connect the network cable with a computer, and the second LAN 2 is connected to TV.
Next, consider the TV setup process for both cable connection methods. Using the remote, you need to do the following:
Go to the menu for this, on the remote, press the HOME button.
Select the “Settings” menu item and go to the “Network” section, select the “Network Connection” item.
Select the “Configure Connection” button, then the list of networks.
On the next screen, to connect the Internet through the cable. go to the “Wired Network” item if you select your Wi-Fi Wireless Network from the list. Next, click “update” and expect. If a password is installed on your Wi-Fi network, you will additionally need to enter it in the window that appears.
After a short expectation, you will see a message about the successful connection of the device to the network, click “Ready”. Congratulations! You have just successfully configured your TV to enter the Internet.
Manual installation
Having an account, install on your TV, you can almost any application and game designed specifically under SMART TV. In any case, before downloading, you need to know the main characteristics of your device and an application of interest, to accurately be sure that they are compatible. Otherwise, time will be spent in vain, and the installed program is simply not started and it will have to delete it. You can find out the characteristics of your device by entering the remote control in the setup menu.
If all the characteristics coincide, the connection to the Internet is good, the installation occurs automatically after confirming its actions. If you cannot download directly for any reason, you can do in manual mode. To do this, you will need a computer or laptop with an internet connection, as well as a flash drive.
Installation from the flash drive is longer and complicated, but nothing impossible in this case. To begin with, downloaded programs are copied from the computer, after which the USB flash drive must be inserted into the TV connector. If there is no such connector in the TV itself, it should be in an additional equipment connected to it. When connecting the media on the TV screen, the corresponding icon will appear on which you want to click. When the window opens with the files available on the flash drive, their selectively or everything can be installed. Next, the installed widget can be used in the same way as other.
