Playback lag or slow responsiveness on hospitality TVs is often due to a combination of insufficient processing power for modern streaming/interactive features, slow network bandwidth, or outdated firmware. Hotels should ensure TVs run the latest firmware, connect them to dedicated high-speed Wi-Fi or Ethernet networks, and avoid overloading them with unsupported streaming apps. In many cases, enabling a lightweight IPTV interface (rather than full smart TV mode) improves performance and reliability.
