How to Access Secret Menu on LG Smart TV

Many LG Smart TV models have a hidden setting called Secret Menu or Service Menu. The manufacturer hides the service menu since it contains advanced settings that can break your TV’s functions if you do anything wrong. The Secret Menu helps to change HDMI settings on LG TV, configure Network and WiFi, USB Cloning, etc. Although the setting is hidden, you can still unlock the secret menu by entering passcodes 0000 or 8878.
