The short answer is noSamsung TVs do not support upgrading their operating system to a newer version.
In a computer, only basic commands are stored in the permanent memory (BIOS).
These commands allow the system to operate at a minimal level, such as using the minimum screen resolution.
When you install an operating system on a computer, the hardware components are automatically detected and configured.
parameters such as screen resolution and memory usage are optimized, making the gadget ready for use.
Televisions, however, function quite differently.
Unlike computers, TVs cannot automatically detect and configure their components.
Instead, each TV model is pre-programmed with precise controls that match its hardware and regional configuration.
As a result, thousands of Blu-ray players and home theaters stopped working.
Apps can also be updated individually, all automatically or manually, depending on your preference.
In 2016, Samsung released the Tizen OS for its TVs.
As the number of users with older TVs dwindles, companies eventually discontinue support.
Most apps today are compatible with Samsung TVs from 2016 or 2018 and newer.
Unfortunately, older models are now considered obsolete and many apps no longer work on these devices.
