If your TV has a presence sensor, you can use the Ambient Display setting. This turns your TV into an interactive display to make it an even more integral part of your home. Ambient Display uses presence sensing to turn on your TV when someone enters the room or is detected near it.
When the TV isn't in use, it goes into Screensaver mode which shows your photos, artwork, and helpful information, turning your TV into a smart picture frame. When the Ambient Display setting is turned on and presence sensors don't detect movement, your TV screen automatically turns off.
Use presence sensing
To have your TV respond when you enter or leave the room, you can turn on Ambient Display.

Understand the presence detection limitations
To detect motion, Ambient Display uses radar signals. This motion detection technology is extremely sensitive. The TV radar signals can detect:
-
Moving objects: Fans, pets, curtains, or vacuums can trigger presence.
- Your TV may turn on when motion is detected.
- Your TV may not turn off automatically when in Ambient mode.
- Walls and windows: Motion can be detected behind walls and windows.
Your TV may not detect movement due to:
- Obstacles: The TV may not detect your presence if there are obstacles in the way of the radar signals.
- TV placement: Do not place objects in front of the radar sensor at the bottom of the TV. Low or high TV placement can impact detection.
- Distance: Presence is limited by the range of the sensor. The sensor may not detect movement further than 16 feet away from the TV. The range of the sensor may vary by TV brand or model.
- Lack of movement: The presence detection may not detect moving objects close to the ground or movements that are too small.
