LG TV - How to Set the Default Input

This is the cause

Is it possible to set the initial screen that appears when the TV is turned on to an external input or the home menu?

• LG Electronics smart TVs released in 2023 and 2024 offer the option to set the initial screen to either [Home screen] or [Recent external input].
• TVs released before 2023 can also set the home menu as the initial screen by selecting [Auto-start home menu].
• This functionality is exclusive to remote control activation of the TV upon power-on; using the TV's power button may display a different external input screen.
• This feature may not be applied if [TV Quick Turn On] or [Q- Start] is disabled, so please ensure Quick Start is enabled.
• Note that this feature may not be applicable to certain models, as some models have their own predefined initial screen. Please refer to the user manual for more details.
