My OLED TV screen goes black after I turn on the TV

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

The OLED TV screen goes black as the TV enters standby mode to perform a panel calibration. This happens when the Picture reset mode is set to On, and you unplug your TV power cord, plug it back in, and then turn it on. The screen will return to normal when the calibration is complete (approximately ten minutes).

Set the Picture reset mode to Off, if you don't want to run the panel calibration:

1. Open the Settings menu.
   • If the remote control has a Quick Settings ( or ) button, press the Quick Settings button and select Settings.
   • If the remote control does not have a Quick Settings ( or ) button, press the HOME button and select Settings.
2. The next steps depend on your TV menu options:
   • Select System → Retail mode settings → Picture reset mode.
   • Select Device Preferences → Retail mode settings → Picture reset mode.
   • Select Retail mode settings → Picture reset mode.
3. Select Off.
