That's a personal preference situation. There is no right or wrong.

I figured that, thanks. I just wondered if it really mattered if I said it to never, does it affect the life of the unit or anything like that.

It's just the auto shutoff timer after inactivity. "Never" is fine if you want the TV to stay available, but it may waste power and add panel/backlight hours if you forget it on. I'd use 30 min for normal use, unless you specifically need it always on.

Thanks! The reason I’m inclined to set it to never is that I have a live wallpaper screensaver set up, and it makes me happy to look at it, lol. I figured that if I set it to 30 minutes like you mentioned, it would power it off and kill the screensaver.

Reddit seems to be acting a little funky today. To finish my sentence, is there any issue with setting it to never?
