Disabling OSD on J5205
Posted: Thu Jun 15, 2017 4:45 pm
Hello
I've been working on a Smart Mirror project using a Samsung J5205 32" TV behind a piece of two-way mirror, controlled by a Raspberry Pi. I'm using motion sensor to bring the TV out of standby, and a timer to shut it down again using CEC commands issued from the Pi. This works reliably for me.
However, when the TV comes out of standby, a banner appears across the top of the screen with the input and time. I'd rather this banner not appear at all. So my questions are as follows:
Generally speaking, is the OSD something that can be disabled using SammyGO firmware?
Given that my TV is only a month old, the firmware is likely the latest and prevents installation of SammyGo, but do I even need SammyGO for this? Is this something instead that I can change in the service menu? I've tried many options where I could safely assume no adverse affects, but I don't really want to touch options that have cryptic names, unless I know specifically what they do.
Thanks in advance to anyone that can provide insight!
