At times, we tend to connect external devices with our LG Smart TV. In those times, we need to change the input source on our LG TV to access those devices. If you really want to change the inputs on your LG TV, you have three possible ways. The simplest method to change it on your TV is by using the TV remote. Sometimes you might miss your TV remote, or it may not work. In such conditions, you can change it via the ThinQ mobile app, or you can change it manually on your TV.
