What is Store Demo Mode or Shop Mode?

Essentially, Shop Mode or Store Demo Mode returns the TV automatically to its default settings in thirty minutes. It is usually used by retailers who want to demonstrate functions to customers, and then want the TV to return to its default settings without the bother of manually resetting the TV.

Easy FIX in removing your Samsung LCDTV from Shop Mode or Store Demo Mode. First, confirm your TV is in Shop Mode or Store Demo Mode:

2. Press the Menu button on the side panel of your TV for about seven seconds. Again, if your TV does not have a side panel, press the Menu button on the front panel. If Dynamic or Dynamic Mode is displayed on the screen, your TV has been removed from Shop Mode or Store Demo Mode.
