If you need some assistance seeing the images on your 2023 Samsung Smart TV, you can use either the Magnification or Zoom Menu and Text functions in the Accessibility menu. These options will let you zoom in on the screen and enlarge the text in menus, making it easier to view and read the screen. Plus, both functions can be used at the same time if needed.
