Philips Android TV - Plex UI Lagging

Plex Players Smart TVs
1

I have 2 units of Philips Andoid TV, both are “The One” series, 50PUS7304 and 55PUS7304.

Idk any of you experiencing UI lagging on Plex for 1-2 months. But it’s very frustuating. I checked both my TVs are the same. Youtube, Tubi or any other application have no issues.

I checked on web for any similar lagging issues but unfortunatly I couldn’t found a reported issue.

Besides when I click play on any video, black-white horizontal lines come first for a second or two, after that I can watch movie without any problem.

I recorded a video, first I opened Youtube app for benchmarking, after that Plex.

What I tried so far; Reduce motion option, clear data/cache, uninstall/reinstall and completely reinstall TV itself.

Thanks in advance for any comments and/or solution offers.

I have the exact same thing on my Philips 58PUS7304, and tried the same things as well. Plex for Android TV is the only app on my Philips TV that has this much lag and low frame rate. I also tried forcing GPU rendering for 2D in Developer Options, but that did not improve anything.

Plex version on Android TV: 8.17.1.25326

Ps. video playback is smooth, it is just the GUI that is very sluggish.

I Have the exact same thing happening on my Sony KD-55XG8596. Playback is smooth but have the same UI lagg and the black-white horizontal lines when starting.

Thanks in advance for any Solutions/comments.
