Just bought the LG smart tv 2017. When I power on the tv each time it comes up with the sound on and static looking screen until I press the home button to do a search for example Hulu. 

How do I make it so when I turn on the tv the screen just shows a silent wallpaper picture?

I went up the picture settings but there is no picture to choose from, it’s just the settings options. Where do I get a picture from to put it on the tv?

I haven’t set up the Live Tv either because I don’t have cable or anything. Is this static looking screen part of that? If so, what is the live tv? (I understand with my Roku I could watch live tv off of that when I downloaded an app such as CNN live) Is it only for people that have a cable company and want to set it up that way? If so, how do I get rid of this?

Thank you for your knowledge and help.

From memory this issue has been covered before on the forum, basically the TV will always default to live TV and currently there is no option to have it open a default app.  The viewpoint is probably that the device is first and foremost a TV.

The best thing is to registered your interest in having the TV open up to an app via LG's suggestions form which is linked elsewhere on the forum.

While installing the TV you have said you have cable and after this you probably skipped installing the channels. Now when you turn on your tv you see static.

What you could is select a set-top box as a input device. This way when you turn on you tv you will get 'not connected' and a black screen but no static.

      LG Partners With Kia To Present AI-Powered Mobility Space Solutions
      By News Reporter
      Company Redefines In-Vehicle Experience With Smart Home Solutions Delivering
      Tailored Mobility Experiences

      SEOUL, April 3, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) is presenting the Spielraum concept car in collaboration with Kia at the 2025 Seoul Mobility Show, taking place at KINTEX in Ilsan, Korea, from April 3-13. This partnership, formalized through a Memorandum of Understanding, aims to seamlessly combine LG’s AI-driven smart life solutions with Kia’s Platform Beyond Vehicle (PBV) technology, creating a distinctive mobility space experience.
      Through this partnership, LG and Kia seek to enhance the PBV experience, transforming everyday mobility into a seamless and convenient lifestyle extension. Integrated LG appliances – such as a refrigerator, air conditioner and Styler – allow users to transform their vehicle into a mobile office or studio.
      Debuting at the 2025 Seoul Mobility Show, the Spielraum Studio and Spielraum Glow cabin concepts demonstrate how users can customize their vehicle space to fit their unique lifestyles. Spielraum Studio, designed for entrepreneurs who travel frequently and need both workspace and storage, features LG’s modular Styler, smart mirror and a coffee machine – all optimized for the interior of the PV5, Kia’s first dedicated PBV. AI-powered personalized assistance further enhances convenience, offering optimized clothing care settings based on the user’s schedule.
      Catering to a different lifestyle, the Spielraum Glow cabin targets the rising trend of car picnics and camping. Equipped with LG’s refrigerator, Lightwave oven and wine cellar, it elevates outdoor experiences with next-level convenience. Additionally, all integrated appliances feature MoodUP panels, allowing users to customize their space with dynamic color options that match their preferences.
      At the heart of the Spielraum concept is the LG ThinQ ON, an AI-powered home hub that provides highly personalized experiences. By leveraging generative AI, it enables interactive conversations, optimal control of in-vehicle appliances and efficient schedule management. Beyond providing useful information such as weather and traffic updates, the system can connect to external services, including food delivery, laundry and restaurant reservations.
      Expanding the boundaries of AI-driven living based on the company’s vision of Affectionate Intelligence, LG introduced the LG Mobility Experience (MX) platform at CES 2025. This approach extends AI’s role beyond residential spaces into everyday environments such as commercial and mobility spaces, creating personalized spaces for work, relaxation and entertainment. By seamlessly connecting mobility with AI home solutions, LG is redefining how people interact with their surroundings, offering multifunctional and adaptive living spaces.
      “We are excited and proud to bring our advanced AI space solutions to the PBV mobility market through this collaboration with Kia,” said Lyu Jae-cheol, president of the LG Home Appliance Solution Company. “This collaboration provides an important opportunity to expand LG Electronics’ ‘AI Space Solution,’ serving as a stepping stone to create new AI-powered lifestyle experiences beyond the home, across mobility and other everyday spaces”.
