Question

LG47 smart tv(LB670V) "out of memory" problem

by Jan 22, 2015 4:30PM PST

I am aware that smart tv's have their limitations compared with computers and they are not usable on sites that need more memory/computing power.

My problem is this - every time I open a site that contains more info than avarage it works awhile and than shuts the browser down telling me: app needs to close not enough memory.

However this tv has a external PCMCIA card slot on the backside. So my question is this: will it be any help for suchs a problem to buy this PCMCIA card and if so what exact model should I get?

No, that won't help.

It's the RAM, not the disk, that's meant in the message.

Such a card is for storing data, just like on the hard disk on your PC. I was wrong calling it a disk.

It's now a common complaint.

Folk are trying to use Smart TVs as web browsers and seeing this issue. It's not you causing this. The Smart TV in its current incarnation is barely able to browse a lot of sites and fails on many. It's nothing you are doing wrong.

It you feel the site needs to work on a Smart TV then tell the web site to support Smart TVs. We already see sites supporting Smart Phones.
