TV Software Updates

I just got a message that my TV software needed updating. It hasn’t had an update in over a decade...since I bought the TV. I’m curious what is typically updated in a TV’s software?

What brand of TV?

If it’s 10 years old and still functions, I wouldn’t worry about it.

Don't do it, unless it's malfunctioning, and it's the last resort to fix an issue. The processor, if it's old, is surely less capable, and not as fast as newer TVs. New update may have some added features possibly, but are intended for newer processors in newer TVs. It could result in stuff running slower, or hanging/lagging. If you are happy with its current performance, I'd say no way. As I've experienced, resetting the TV to factory settings does not revert back to original firmware. The latest will stay in there. Plus, if after update, it becomes laggy, and slow and you decide its time to buy a new one, Samsung wouldn't mind that at all.

It might be an update to disable the audio spying which is enabled by default.
