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.

      Sparking Vietnam’s eSports Revolution With the “Life’s Good Tournament,” Powered by LG UltraGear
      By News Reporter
      Last year, LG Vietnam made waves in the gaming scene by introducing the Life’s Good Tournament, which was the first and only local area network (LAN) party gaming tournament in Vietnam. This premier League of Legends (LoL) competition in Vietnam attracts talented teams from across the nation, who compete through several qualifying rounds to reach the grand final held at Another Saigon by LG, brand experience space in Ho Chi Minh City. The 2024 final, held on November 30, featured the top teams from four different regions: GENETIC ESPORT from Lighting Esport Complex, HST from OGE Stadium, 2 GAME ĐI VỀ from Unicorn Cyber and ALPHA MALE from Vikings. These cybernets are fully equipped with LG UltraGear gaming monitors, which provide the ultimate gaming experience with brilliant OLED displays.
      The grand final was graced by legends of the local eSports scene, including SOFM, Đức Mạnh, Clear and KillerQueen, who provided professional mentorship to the four teams. They shared their practical skills and inspired a competitive spirit in each competitor. After some of the most intense battles in the nation’s gaming history, GENETIC ESPORT emerged as the champion of the Life’s Good 2024 Tournament, followed by runners-up HST and third-place finishers 2 GAME ĐI VỀ and ALPHA MALE.

      “This is our second time participating in the Life’s Good Tournament and our team came with a solid plan to conquer the country’s best LoL teams,” said a player of GENETIC ESPORT. “Our outstanding performance in the final was inspired by our mentor, KillerQueen. We are extremely grateful to LG for creating a professional platform that allows us to compete with other talented teams while unlocking the full potential of our passionate eSports community in Vietnam.”

      This convincing victory was the result of tireless preparation and effort, earning the GENETIC ESPORT team a trip to Korea in December 2024. They have explored the heart of competitive League of Legends, visiting iconic locations such as LCK Park, the Gen.G Headquarters and LG GROUND220. The team also received a 45-inch UltraGear OLED Curved Gaming Monitor WQHD and vouchers worth 50 million VND.
      GENETIC ESPORT was already well-known to LG, having fought their way to an exhibition match against one of the world’s top LoL teams, Gen.G,

Courtesy of the company’s cutting-edge OLED technology, LG UltraGear makes every scene – whether bright or dark – come to life with realistic details that take the gaming experience to an entirely new level.

      With a wide array of display solutions built for gamers, the LG UltraGear lineup has become the go-to gaming monitor brand in the local market. Since 2021, UltraGear has been the official partner of Gen.G, a leading eSports organization, further cementing its reputation for supporting high-level gameplay in this League of Legends-obsessed nation.
      Through various initiatives designed to foster Vietnam’s eSports community, LG hopes to elevate the local talent so that more local gamers can compete on the biggest eSports stages in the world.

      Auto Sound Mode Switching Based on Apps: A Feature Request
      By Pranay Mokida
      I’d love to see a new feature in the next software update where the sound mode automatically adjusts based on the app being used. For example, when opening music apps like Apple Music or Spotify, the sound mode could switch to Music Mode, and for streaming apps like Netflix or Prime Video, it could switch to Cinema Mode.This addition would make the user experience so much smoother and more convenient!
