2. White Flash On Turning Off

When turning off your Smart TV, the 'brain' may turn off first, which turns off the LED panel. Then, the backlight turns off a moment later. You may notice a flash of white during that fraction of a second.

This is perfectly acceptable behavior, and indicates no problems with your Smart TV.

3. Reset Cables (HDMI)

  1. Turn your TV off.
  2. Unplug your HDMI cable.
  3. If you have another HDMI cable available, try using it instead of the cable that's currently in-place.
