It's frustrating when an app like Spotify underperforms on a smart TV, especially when heavier apps like Netflix or Prime run smoothly. The issue likely isn’t hardware your LG 55UJ630V can handle 4K video so it's probably due to poor app optimization for webOS or Spotify's background streaming behavior. Unlike video apps that buffer large chunks, Spotify streams audio in smaller packets, and if the app isn’t well-maintained for your TV's OS version (5.80.50), it can lead to lag or freezing. Also, Spotify relies more on active network connections for seamless playback, so even minor Wi-Fi drops can affect it. Try reinstalling the app, clearing its cache, or using Spotify via Chromecast or another external device for better performance.
