Subtitles are a great way to enjoy your show for so many reasons. Understanding dialogue via closed-captioning options is a standard setting for your LG TV. However, there may be times when the subtitles are not large enough to use, so finding a way to make them more visible is desired.

Sometimes, the default subtitle setting on your TV does not provide you with the best viewing experience. Making a few adjustments can make all the difference when it comes to enjoying the program. Keep reading to learn the steps you can take to adjust the size of your subtitles so you can add enjoyment to your viewing.

Check If Your LG TV Has the Features

If captioning is available on the program you have chosen, adjusting the size of the subtitles can be done by using your remote, then heading to the settings menu.

However, not all LG TVs have the option to enlarge the subtitles; there are several ways to find out if your TV has that option:

  • Your LG TV must be a model produced after 2009 to be able to adjust the size of the subtitles. Additionally, digital caption settings can only be adjusted for programs produced in digital broadcasting style.Also, if your video comes from a cable box or other external source, the closed-captioning size may need to be changed through the provider rather than the TV. Check with the manufacturer’s website regarding subtitle resizing to research the proper procedure. Click here for a video that explains LG televisions and closed-captioning options.

If you find that your TV does have the ability to adjust subtitle sizes, follow the next steps below:

Go to Your TV’s Settings

To change the size of the subtitles, navigate to the Settings menu on your remote.

  • For a Smart remote, choose Settings, General, Captions, and finally, Digital Captions.For a standard remote, choose Settings, Advanced Settings, Accessibility, and then Captions.

In either menu, if the ability to enlarge the subtitles is an option, you will see a radio button to choose for enlarging. Unfortunately, if there is no option, you may need to seek out other ways to complete this.
