The screen saver appears when your OLED TV is idle for a certain time period to protect the panel from image retention. The screen saver is canceled and the TV returns to the previous screen once the remote control is operated. You can change the screen saver activation time on an Android TV™ model, and for Google TV™ models, you can set the type of images to be displayed as the screen saver, but the screen saver startup time cannot be changed. These steps will vary depending on your TV model type and the OS version installed.
Select your TV model type for details:
