Smart TV Internet Speed
Internet (network) speed to your television will play a major impact on streaming video content or how quickly web information accesses your television screen. Depending upon video resolution, greater speed will be required to avoid unnecessary buffering while viewing.
Users can indirectly measure the network speed of the television using the Netflix and YouTube streaming application services.
The speed measurement is simply a reference, and viewers cannot accurately rely on diagnosed network speed with the values measured by the television itself, albeit very close.
Note
A customer inquired about the minimum Internet speed required to run the LG ThinQ app.
To run an Android app on an operating system, the minimum requirement is to have the Android Runtime (ART) installed. This is necessary for executing Android applications. Additionally, the operating system should meet the hardware and software requirements specified by the app developers, such as minimum RAM, processor speed, and screen resolution.

As for the Internet speed requirement, it is essentially negligible. Anything less would imply user is NOT connected to the Internet.
