How to use Ambient Mode on Samsung QLED TV
Televisions are getting bigger and they are taking up a lot of space in your living room. You can do much more with Samsung QLED TV's Ambient mode even if you are not watching TV. Let's find out what you can do with Ambient Mode.
Ambience on your QLED TV
Ambient Mode is a feature that is available on Samsung QLED TVs. QLED models with this function have an Ambient Mode button on the remote control to activate the function.
Now, TV is not only electronic equipment but also an interior décor item. Ambient Mode provides a more stylish alternative to the black screen, elevating your living space with decorative content, information and much more. With Ambient Mode, you can make your TV show the same pattern as the wall behind it so that it looks like the TV has disappeared, and you can display your own photos and images on the TV.
Note: Ambient Mode is only available from 2018 QLED TV Models and The Serif.
Start Ambient Mode
There are two easy ways to activate Ambient Mode. You can turn on with your remote control directly or select Ambient Mode menu in Smart Hub.
