If your Samsung TV is showing advertisements about the TV's features, the TV is in Demo or Shop mode. Retailers use this feature to give customers information about the benefits of owning the TV. This mode also resets the TV back to factory settings every 20 minutes, or whenever you turn it off. It's convenient for the retailer, but you probably don't want it on at home, so disable the advertisements and reset function by switching the TV to Dynamic or Home mode.
