Screensavers on Smart TVs are present so that they help to prevent or at least reduce image retention. Ever left a TV on a single static screen for so long that the mark is always visible on the screen, regardless of what you play on your TV?
People want to enable and use screensavers on their LG Smart TVs because of such image retention issues or image burn-ins. Screensavers can be in the form of images from the internet or photographs that you may have captured.
So, if you are the owner of an LG Smart TV and want to know how to enable and change the screensaver on your LG TV, you’ve come to the right place.
How to Enable and Change the Screensaver on an LG Smart TV
The screensaver will be displayed on your LG TV’s screen when your TV screen is on and nothing is playing or streaming in the foreground or background. Here are the steps to enable the screensaver on your LG smart TV.

- You will now see a bunch of screensavers/pictures to choose from.
- Highlight and press the Select key to choose an image Gallery.
You can also download and choose whichever screensaver/gallery you like and apply it to your LG TV. Do note that some of these screensavers have audio, so you can choose to have the audio muted or played when your screensaver is active.
