>You cannot disable it (i assumed it was possible). Long-hold power off to turn the tv off. Else frame mode. Sucks.

I have this TV; you long press the power button to turn it off. The entire gimmick of the TV is the art mode, as the actual panel isn't very good and you can buy the TV without the gimmick for several hundred dollars less (A regular 65" Samsung Frame is ~2K, while the normal 65" QLED is $1,200). My gripes about samsung software aside - it's an odd thing to complain about.

Since I thought it was a gimmick I just assumed you could switch it off. The TV is 32” btw. Just big enough to comfortably see the ball when watching football, small enough to not be the centerpiece of the living room. I do not have any complaints about the panel btw, good enough i guess.

The person you're talking to hates TV, so they bought this one because it looks nice when it's turned off. I wonder if they're really frustrated with another person in their home who enjoys watching "shouting XL Americans" on the idiot box.
