How to watch

Whether it plays 4K depends on the model, so check the spec sheet before choosing 4K feeds. Fast tennis rewards a wired connection more than a 4K badge. Prepaid means no renewal surprises, and the 7-day money-back guarantee means the first week carries no risk.

The short list

  • Player: Smarters Player Lite (free)
  • Budget 10 Mbps per HD screen and 25 Mbps per 4K screen, then add headroom for everyone else online
  • Channels to favorite: ESPN and ESPN2
  • Plan: from $10.42/month on the 12-month plan, or $24.99 for one month
  • Time: about five minutes, ideally the day before

US Open on the LG Smart TV, step by step

  • Pick a plan length, send the order on WhatsApp, and keep the reply open: it holds the server URL, username and password.
  • Open the LG Content Store (labeled Apps on recent webOS versions), search for Smarters Player Lite and install it.
  • Select Add user or Add playlist in Smarters Player Lite, choose Xtream Codes, and fill in the three fields from your login message: server URL with its port, username, password.
  • Open the Sports group and add ESPN and ESPN2 to favorites.
  • Play one of those channels for a few minutes well before the first serve to confirm the picture is steady.

Dial in the LG Smart TV for US Open

On LG TVs, TruMotion controls motion smoothing. Try the Sports picture mode for tennis, then go back to Standard if skin tones look off; lower TruMotion if a serve that crosses the court in well under a second leaves halos.

US Open viewing tips

  • Overseas tournaments air overnight in the US, and catch-up absorbs the time difference.
  • Grand Slam days spread across several courts and channels; favorite them all at the start of the tournament.
  • Matches have no fixed end time; recordings need generous padding.
  • A serve crosses the court in under a second, so choose the 60fps feed when you have the option.

When the picture misbehaves

  • Drop from the 4K to the HD version of the channel; it needs less than half the bandwidth.
  • Pause other downloads and video calls in the house during the broadcast.
  • Move to Ethernet or 5 GHz Wi-Fi before the next one.
