Unplugging your smart TV for 10-20 seconds every week can help boost its performance by clearing system memory, killing background apps, and wiping residual software from app updates. This is because most modern TVs have "fast startup" or energy-saving eco modes that never actually shut the TV off, even if you hit the power button. Unplugging the TV completely flushes the system and triggers app and software updates, leading to a better streaming experience. Setting up weekly automatic restarts with a smart plug or power strip can make the process hassle-free.
