Where to get the files you need
You will definitely need to download the installation file or update file on the Internet. However, you don’t have to look for a laptop or computer to get online. You can do all the manipulations without computer equipment, since the technical equipment of modern TVs allows you to directly enter the network. So that you do not face any difficulties during the download, installation or update process, we recommend using a reliable and high-speed connection. In particular, in most cases, a Wi-Fi wireless connection may have a slow speed or limited traffic. For this reason, it is best to connect a dedicated IP cable to the TV. Installation files, firmware can be downloaded from various Internet resources. However, we recommend that you only trust the official manufacturer of your TV.
Installing Flash Player
If you are interested in how to independently install the Flash Player on an LG or Samsung TV, then we suggest that you familiarize yourself with a small instruction. If it is possible to connect the TV to high-speed Internet, then you can immediately download the firmware and install it. If it is not possible to provide a high-speed connection, then prepare a USB flash drive and follow our subsequent instructions. We recommend that you consistently perform stage by stage, then the process will be crowned with success:
- download the latest firmware version on the official website of your TV manufacturer;
- format the USB flash drive, create a folder on it and give it the same name as the program;
- unzip all downloaded firmware files to the created folder;
- turn off the TV if it turns on;
- insert the USB flash drive and turn on the TV;
- after turning on, the program will appear on the screen, select it to start the installation process.
You have completed all the basic steps, so you just have to wait for the installation process to complete. Now we suggest you try the work of Samsung or LG Flash, start a video recording on the TV, find out how well it is displayed. If something goes wrong, do not worry, because this happens when the system does not have time to quickly navigate and “accept” all the changes. In such cases, we recommend that you simply restart your TV.
Flash Player update

This happens when you are satisfied with the quality of your Smart TV for a long period of time, and suddenly, when watching a video, you encounter system errors. What to do in this case? The answer is simple: you need to update the player on your LG TV or another brand.

This is where you will find the latest firmware version. However, there are still some users who flatly refuse to completely change the firmware, wanting to make changes only to the operation of the Flash Player. In principle, even such a desire is quite feasible if you follow the following instructions.
