LG TV Demo Mode vs. Home Mode

LG developed two modes for their TVs, namely Demo Mode and Home Mode. Demo Mode is a top choice for TV sellers, while for those who have bought the TV, Home Mode is the top choice.

You may have noticed that TVs in a retail store loop between extra shiny pictures and videos, which benefits from the introduction of Demo Mode.

Demo Mode is specifically designed for retailers and displays different functions and features to attract potential buyers. With it enabled on LG TV, people can have an interactive and engaging experience before making a purchase. However, this reduces color quality and offers a bad experience for people who are watching regular channels, shows, or movies.

Home Mode is the normal mode where people can watch their TVs regularly. Moreover, the mode saves more than 25% power compared to Demo Mode.

How to turn off Demo Mode without remote? There are two ways to turn off Demo mode without remote, either pressing the button on the LG TV or using an LG TV remote app.

Way 1. Press the Home or Menu Button on LG TV

Press the Home or Menu button on your LG TV to disable Store Mode even if you have no access to your remote.

Step 1. Locate the Home or Menu button on the back side of your LG TV.

Step 2. Press and hold the button for about 20 seconds.

Step 3. Release the button when you see the message, saying “Demo Mode: Off”.

Way 2. Use an LG TV Remote App

Installing an LG TV remote application might be the best way in this case, because the app provides you full control over your LG TV, including switching off Store Mode and completing other aspects of the TV.

Here my personal suggestion is to use the LG TV Remote app from BoostVision, a professional remote application developer. Compared with other LG TV remote replacements, the app features:

• High compatibility, working well with Android and iOS devices as well as all models of LG TVs;
• Multiple functions, including power, volume adjustment, input, keyboard, touchpad, etc.

To use the app to control your LG TV, install it on your smartphone and set up a connection between the phone and the TV. Here is the step-by-step breakdown.

Step 1. Download the LG TV Remote app by clicking the following buttons and allow it to be installed on your phone.

Step 2. Check if your LG TV and phone are using the same wireless network. If not, make a change.

Step 3. Launch the app on your phone when the installation finishes, tap the “+” icon on the home screen of the app, and choose the name of your LG TV from the device list.

Step 4. Input the PIN code that displays on the TV screen using the on-screen keyboard and tap the OK button to confirm the input.

Your TV name should appear on your phone screen, and you can get your LG TV out of Demo Mode by tapping the buttons on the screen.

The steps to switch off Demo Mode are slightly different on LG TVs with different models. Check the tutorial on how to get LG TV out of Demo Mode without remote.
