If this is just a LG TV issue you can make it a warranty claim or a good reason to return it.
My tv is an LG49sj810v and the subtitles work fine on normal programmes and netflix etc but not on Amazon. The option for subtitles in set to "on" but they do dnto appear. A different TV with an Amazon firestick shows the subtitles ok. Any ideas
