Samsung has come a long way in creating TVs, increasing users worldwide. Most people use their TVs on a basic level, unaware of the useful features and tricks are hidden in their devices. One such hidden feature is the way to see your device’s hours of use over time. At first sight, this function doesn’t seem so necessary, but many people in various forums are asking about ‘how to see the usage hours of my Samsung TV. So, in this article, you will learn how to do it.
Why you need to find out how long Samsung TV has worked
First and foremost, those who buy a used TV will need this information. When you know how many hours the TV has been in use, you can understand how long it can last and how much it’s already worn out. This information will also be especially relevant to people who buy a TV from a storefront, which works for hours without interruption. Or, for example, if you buy a TV through an online store and want to check if the TV is new or if it was on the stand working without pauses.
What you need to open service menu
To get the total report of Samsung TV usage hours, you need Samsung Basic / Full Remote. You can also enter the service menu without the remote; for more details, see this article. If you for some reason lost it, or when you bought a used TV that was not included, you can buy it in any online store. Unfortunately, it isn’t possible to enter the service menu via a smart remote.
How to get to the Samsung TV service menu
To find the total TV runtime, you must go into your TV’s service menu. There are many ways to do this, and each TV model has its own appropriate button combination, which is listed in the Samsung TV service menu manual.
First, you need to put your TV in standby mode and on the remote control consistently press {Info} {Menu} {Mute} {Power}. If you don’t succeed the first time, that’s okay; try a couple more times until you get the right result.
When you get to the service menu, be careful; if you accidentally switch the wrong menu item, it may even make it impossible to turn the TV on. Remember that you do everything at your own risk, especially for people who are far from using new appliances should be careful.
How to see the total TV run time

Once you click on this menu to the right, you will see a lot of information about your TV, including panel display time, which will indicate how long your TV has been active. To exit this mode, simply press the {Power} button.
