My OLED TV switches to screen saver mode

    IMPORTANT: This article applies only to specific products and/or operating systems. Check Applicable Products and Categories for details.

    To protect your TV from image retention, a screen saver appears automatically after a period of screen inactivity. The screen saver is canceled and the TV returns to the previous screen once you press a button on the remote control. For some TVs, you can adjust the settings so the screen saver starts after a certain period of time (e.g. 5 minutes, 1 hour). For others, the activation time cannot be changed. The exact specifications will depend on your TV type.
