Many smart TV users are unaware that these devices have hidden menus that allow access to additional settings and functions. Now it is common that, along with the main menu, there is a menu with advanced options within the television operating system itself, developed so that technical service personnel can carry out diagnostic tests or verify that the internal parameters of the device work with their correct values.
This menu remains hidden by default and is only displayed on the screen by entering certain secret codes with the remote control.
However, with LG smart TVs equipped with WebOS system, something different happens. There is another way to access its secret menu and it consists of an interface that runs from a window of the Internet browser integrated into the computer. The information offered by this secret menu is very varied, from the serial and model number, to the MAC and IP addresses of the device, to the number of hours of use and the status of the Miracast connection.
It is also worth mentioning the advanced configuration options that are not recommended to manipulate without the necessary experience. Within these are the TPC and ASBL functions, which used to cause some problems on OLED screens. After all, this is a menu intended for users with advanced knowledge.
How to access LG smart TV secret menu from the web
Use your remote control to open the Internet browser on your LG TV. Enter the address http://webosapp.club/instart and press the Enter key.
Authorize the requested connection and when the password is requested, enter the combination 0413. After this step, the secret menu that LG televisions display from a browser window will appear.
For hassle-free future use, add that web address to your browser bookmarks. To exit the secret menu, press the Home button on the remote control.
