Your LG TV will reportedly display screensaver ads. How to turn them off.
If you own an LG TV, hit up the settings menu ASAP.
That’s because full-screen screensaver advertisements have infected LG televisions, FlatPanelsHD reported. These ads appear before the normal screensaver kicks in, and can be for either LG-centric promotions or third-party partners like car companies. According to FlatPanelsHD’s testing, the ads are muted…for now.

How to turn off screensaver ads on LG TVs
The obvious first response to this, if you own an LG TV, is “can I turn these ads off?” The good news is that, at least at the moment, you can. Here’s how:
-
Open the TV’s settings menu
-
Navigate to “Additional Settings”
-
Navigate to the “Screen Saver Promotion” toggle and turn it off
LG seemingly turned this on without announcing it ahead of time, and it has infected even the company’s newest, most high-end sets, according to the FlatPanelsHD report. That may not sit well with people who paid more than $1,000 for a TV, especially if the ads ever, at any point, start making noise. Ditto if LG ever disables the ability to turn them off.
